In a little strip of National Forest just north of I-80 close to Laramie. One of my favorite spots to stop and sleep for the night when driving cross-country.

24 hours only! In reference to luck and a little more to the story...I had a friend traveling with me who has a buddy who lives in Boise. Once we had made our calls and ended up securing those Bilstein's, he called his buddy and told him what had happened. He said, "Hey, come on over here! I...

Peterson Toyota ended up having a set of Bilstein 6112s out of their accessory department that had been ordered for a guy who never ended up picking them up. They were incredibly helpful and I was able to pick those up from them and get them swapped in. The Les Schwab on North Ten Mile Road was...

Hi, all. Just busted the bottom plate holding the strut and coil assembly on the passenger side of an Eibach Stage 1 kit. Looking at the other side I have a huge crack in that one. I live in Ohio, on my way back from Oregon, and trying to get to Wyoming for a backpacking trip...convoluted, I...

Thank you! Are there non-transferable things I should order? Things that can't be removed from the old doors and put on the new ones?

Hello, all. I'm working on buying both passenger side doors after an accident in December. Amazingly, after being hit and scraped at 50 MPH by an F-150, both doors still open, both windows roll all the way down, etc...but I have the insurance money to replace them and that's my plan. Here's...

I'm thinking about going from 285/70-17 to 255/80-17 next time. I really really like my Toyo Open Country AT3s in C rating, but I live in NE Ohio and as someone mentioned earlier, they do seem to want to float quite a bit in snow and slush. I currently have no rubbing with my Eibach kit. I...

Thanks, all. I'll start putting together a parts list and shop around.

Hi, all. I'm over 250k miles now and starting to get a little whine that I believe is coming from one of the idler pulleys. I figure before an 8000 mile road trip this summer I might as well replace all the pulleys. Would you replace the tensioner as well? Anything else I'm missing? I already...

Very good to know. Thank you very much!

Thanks, all. I ended up pulling the trigger on the LasFit kit.

Low beam. I know the spec is H11, just trying to figure out exactly what the brand is that's in there and there are no markings.

Hi, all. Anyone recognize this LED "bulb"? It's burnt out and I'd like to get the same one. I bought the 4runner with 160k about 4 years ago and these headlights were already installed. Now, nearly 100k later one has finally gone caput, but I can't figure out the exact replacement. Image is...

Well, so far so "good". Adjuster came back with $10,500 worth of repairs and put the car's worth at $16,000. He said we're within about $1000 of it being totaled. I know a shop is almost always going to find more work to be done once they start getting into it, but I think I'm going to take...

To clarify regarding my rubbing issue: I had already pushed front fender forward and removed mud flaps. My rubbing (with 285s) was at the edge of the body mount.
