    When to replace rear springs

    I just replaced the globes on my 1998 LX470 and it made a world of difference. But now I am noticing a bit of a roll, seems a bit top heavy and has a weird feel like it rolls from the rear passenger to the front driver side, so now I am wondering if I should replace the rear springs as well (or...

    Have an 81 BJ and wanting to replace the cluster.

    Its a 12v system. Are the clusters interchangeable depending on year? Want to know what I'm getting into before I get started. Have already purchased new speedo cable. Thanks for any help.

    Due to RIGHT Tail Light Assemblies make a LEFT?

    While upgrading to LED lights, I'm replacing the front and rear signal lights assemblies to remove the weak links. As Toyota is NLA on LEFT rear tail light assembly (81560-60111), has anyone tried using two RIGHT rear lights (81550-60191) instead? In earlier posts, the reason to source...

    Replace Brake Soft Lines

    What do you guys think about replacing the soft brake lines as PM? They are 20 years old, seem to be holding fine, and have some superficial cracks. I am going to do some brake work and thought now would be the time if I'm going to do it. Thanks Russell

    replace air system, Shocks first, lift later

    Last weekend, I was sitting on the back of the gx and the rear was lowering on me. I suspected the airbags were going out. The truck also leaned to the right, which lead me to believe I had a shock out also. The air system continued to work while driving so it was okay. Yesterday, my wife...

    When & how to replace stabilizer bar, bushings, cushions & links (AKA sway bar)

    Would you say I waited to long to change my bushings! But link breaking is not the only reason why I say to long. I found not only did Link rust through, but I also removed a ~1/16" of rust off top & bottom of stabilizer bar recess that the cushions sets in. I then found the stabilizer bar...

    Do check and replace spark plugs frequently...

    My old V8 just blew a plug. Yes, that is right. Blew a plug. The core of the plug ejected upwards. The thread was still in place. The inner core of the plug blew through the ignition coil, kind of exploded now. If that happens, stand still, stop engine, do not try to drive home. Because you...

    Rocker panel rot. Can I remove and replace the whole panel?

    I've got some rot on my DS rocker panel. It's about the size of a silver dollar, but it's gone pretty deep. Is my best bet to cut and weld a new piece on with it still on the truck? Or would I be able to remove the rocker panel and fix it that way? Thanks!

    Need batter to replace Sears Diehard Platinum 31M

    Hello, Finally rebuilt my starter and now realizing my battery, Sears Diehard Platinum 31M won't hold a charge. Sad to see that Sears no longer sells this battery. Plans in future to add a winch but none now. What's the best deal in a battery? 2017? Old posts seem no longer...

    Replace powered antenna mast with static one

    Hey Guys, Been trying to research if anyone has replaced their powered mast with a flexible static one? Looking to replace my broken one, but I'd rather just use a shorter antenna mast that is static. Something like this. Any thoughts? Would this work if I removed the motor?

    Looking for threads detailing rusty roof replacement

    My roof is beginning to get pretty crusty, at all the pillars. Had no visible rust up there when I bought it - three years later it's beginning to flourish, and I'm weighing the option of repairing vs replacing. Clean roofs seem to be available here in the south west, but I haven't found a...
