What do you do when you have two spare tires, but no spare axle shaft or hub?

I think he is about to hit the rear squealer on that side.

I have a cousin looking for a 1st gen Toyota 4runner. Needs to be as close to stock as possible. Will be her 1st car. She is also interested in a taco/mini but wants an auto.

Still not safe, even when dead.

@NCFJ met one of your customers last week in a Publix parking lot. Saw his rig and parked next to him. He was loading up when I came out myself. We chatted and he mentioned that he got the bumper from some guy near Spartanburg. And I said, "STAN!" He looked surprised and confirmed. I knew that bumper looked familiar.

I like
How much?

Hey marshall can you tell me the size hose this is? Hose 87245a it is discontinued from Toyota. Going to try to come up with something this weekend. That is the hose that runs across the back of the motor. You have told me in the past it was wrong and that is where the leak is.

Gold bars totaling 66 lbs found in shipwreck, worth 1.263 million dollars!

When it sank, the SS Central America was steaming toward New York with a cargo meant to strengthen the city’s banks. The 280-foot vessel was carrying so much gold — commercial and personal riches from the California fields estimated at three tons, as well as a rumored secret federal shipment of 15 tons — that its loss contributed to the Panic of 1857, considered the first global financial crisis.

Total haul if all is recovered could be $114 million - wowzers.

Guess i won't be using that after all.

Awesome!

Unconventional promotion for MCA-DAY-an annual tribute to musician & humanitarian, Adam "MCA" Yauch of the Beastie Boys. MCA was a devout Buddhist who fought for Tibetan independence.

Anybody watching this series?

 

[Trollhole]

I don't know what to say. Other than I see them spending some coin changing the truck from dirt to road.

Great last lap.

 

[BMThiker]

I doubt they change much other than retuning the coilovers and putting street worthy rubber on the ground.
