So junior had his first accident. No one involved other than him and a guard rail and he wasn't hurt so thats all good. The insurance company was going to total the truck but I decided to keep it and install new custom bumpers. I got the plans from Bandit and those are great, highly recommended...

I changed my radiator about 4 1/2 years ago and used Toyota red coolant. Took a look tonight and it is blue. Maybe purple-ish blue. Does red change color with age? Truck seems to be running fine.

I have pulled 3 and they are all dead! I need to try the solder repair.

My truck came from Indianapolis and has some surface rust. I removed the hitch and sandblasted, primed, and painted. I fished out the the inserts and sandblasted them clean. The welds on the nuts where a too light/small so I had them welded more securely before priming, painting, and...

I am planing to get Marathons for my T4R. Probably the desert multi-cam. They sent me a sample to look at and the colors go well with the tan interior. I have not looked into it yet but are the Wet Okoles kinda funky in a hot and humid climate?

Sorry to say but the OP has not been on since 2014.

On my '99 Limited I have the multi-mode/AWD button. When I got it a few years ago I read the manual and looked through threads(the one posted earlier that brian2sun started is great)here. To make it easier to remember, particularly for my son when he started to drive, we follow these...
