I found a little hack for getting the rear shoes for the parking brake on. I know it's a huge pain in the butt when you take them off, but I came up with a way and I had never seen anybody do it so I figured I would post it just in case. Hopefully it helps somebody else out in the future...
I sold my 2007 FJ cruiser when I was living in DC and I was having to commute in crazy traffic. It just wasn't ideal at the time, ended up picking up a turbo diesel Volkswagen and sold it. I have regretted it ever since!
Fast forward yesterday, I saw one pop up that was finally priced...
$7000 firm. 99.9% rust free. It's a blast to drive and I get thumbs up everywhere I go. I'll have to check to see exactly where I am on engine mileage, but I just passed the initial break in 500 miles. Running conventional oil with high zinc additive and I was OCD with the break in.
I bought...
A friend of mine picked up a 2010 Toyota Tacoma with under 150k on it. A tree had fallen and crushed the roof, but it was still drivable, however after much assessment he decided to scrap it and sell off parts.
He's looking for $1600 for the transmission with transfer case, all related clutch...
I have an old 1F that I pulled some parts off of. Motor ran before I pulled it, but the block had been drilled into so it is scrap.
Cylinder head with rocker arm - good shape
Valve cover -

4 speed trans h42 out of 1987 FJ60, works perfectly but upgraded...
Truck SUV drawer system. Has two simplex locks that cost over $200 for the pair alone. Drawers have rollers so they can go all the way out without bearing weight.
50.5 inches wide x 49.5 inches long x 13.5" tall.
I have the combination for the locks, more dividers/organizers, and pieces to...
I purchased this from a member on here for $400 shipped. I would like to get my money back out of it, but open to reasonable offers. I have photos the previous mud member took, but I can upload some more tomorrow, however it is the exact bumper and looks the same. I never mounted it. It's heavy...
Never off-roaded and used as a commuter here in Virginia/DC.
Paid $48k for it before tax/fees in July 2017 and picked it up direct from the dealership. Cement gray, FSR was $42,400, but with the optional equipment below, purchase price was $44,672 plus close to $4k in warranties. Asking...
I just wanted to get some feedback because I was having a conversation with a guy about the FJ cruiser and he was trying to tell me there was a transmission filter and a pre-filter, however I have always been under the impression that they have a metal strainer.
It looks like a filter, but it...
If you all are not familiar with Jalopnik, it is gear head news central. I love it!

2007 FJ Cruiser Automatic 4x4, A-trac, Rear diff locker, convenience package and upgrade #1 package. I pulled it off the market to address a front wheel bearing, but it's back in tip top shape. 183k miles and I drive it an hour plus one way 2 -3 times a week. It has a lot of info on toyota...
So I saw this in the FJ Cruiser forum. I know we deal with rust up here and we do our best to prevent it, but this looks bad in my opinion.
What's your opinion on these pics?

Summer is almost over, don't...
Not Toyota related, but a good local experience so I figured I’d share.
Picked up an old Volkswagen Jetta to use a commuter for school, but it was rough! It only has 69,000 miles on it so I figured it was worth putting a cheap paint job on to make it look decent.
I dropped it off and It was...
First $1000.00 takes it.
It needs a battery;
Tires look good;
I just replaced the rack and pinion ($275 ish);
I have a cheap radio that goes with it (not installed);
Body is very nice;
New radiator;
I also have a box with tons of parts I ordered to include timing belt, water pump, various...
I have a small 6x10 trailer and will have some extra space. I am not sure how much space or time I will have, but I figured I would toss it out there.
Looking to head back north early next week.
