No offense, but asking a forum to tell you how reliable your car will be is ridiculous. No mileage listed, never told us how long you've owned it, the maintenance history etc. I've seen 96's that looked and ran like they were 4 years old and I've seen 96's that were complete basket cases and...

Not gonna say which is best, because that depends on the use, the driver, and the climate. In my city, AWD or 4wd for that matter is only ideal 2 maybe 3 weeks of the year. However, while I may live in a big city, I certainly don't spend all my time here. I snowboard a lot, and since I've got...

Just figured I'd chime in, even though I'm Canadian. I along with my friends have discussed SOPA quite a bit, and are also appalled by the lack of foresight and harm this bill can/will cause if implemented. I really hope you all stand up for your rights and fight the bill with every option...

Nice! How is it out there? I'm gonna be going from Calgary to Revelstoke on the 28th and then down to Nelson to hit up Whitewater before visiting the family down in Rossland. Just wondering if you plan on hitting the mountain while you're there. Would like to know if it's worth stopping for...

Ran mine out of gas 10 km away from Banff coming back from Louise. Broken gas gauges suck. On the plus side, AMA only took 45min and I had my iPhone to keep me entertained.

Pretty darned sure it's not Singtoe's ad. I'm assuming it's like many other posts on this board and it's just to let people know of a deal on CL.

Obviously I'm biased as I have a 99' limited 4runner with 116k on it now, but I'd vote the 99 if you can afford it. It does seem a bit high though considering I bought mine for $9,300 Canadian 2 years ago. It did have a banged up bumper though. If you drove the two for a week, I could...

Did anyones fuel gauge stop working properly when they did this? I changed mine a good 6 months back and it immediately malfunctioned and would stop reading what fuel was left at a half tank. Still have the problem today so I just go by mileage.

Just bumping the thread to see if anyone ended up ordering the Dynabeads and what their experiences with them were. Considering getting some for my new tires, and the motorcycles too.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm just gonna go ahead and replace all of it at once. I haven't taken a shortcut with the truck so far so why start now right? This way, everything should last longer than the drivetrain itself.

Bump Just did this myself. Easy fix to an annoying dash light that refused to go away. I'd post a picture but it's pretty self explanatory. Still not sure why Toyota bothered putting it on for CDN models if they left it off american models. It's handy when it works if you don't fill the...

I replaced my left LBJ with a Napa Premium a year ago when I noticed cracks in the boot of my original one. So far no issues. It's made in Japan, looks the exact same. Outwardly it would appear just as good and half the price. Only time will truly tell though. I'm pretty sure Brian2sun...

Hey all, So I'm finally gonna get around to changing out the radiator to avoid the milkshake before the winter hits. Ordering the Koyo replacement now. Annoyingly my radiator looks dang near perfect, but I have no idea if it was ever replaced and I'm at 185k kilometers. My question is this...

Personally, if I was to start all over again, I'd go for a JDM Land Cruiser with the 6cyl Turbo Diesel or the 8cyl Petrol. Especially if you have a LHD Tundra daily driver. You can find some super clean Land Cruisers from the Canadian Importers now. Easily able to find a fully loaded Cruiser...

Sorry to hear that bud. Especially happening to a fellow Calgarian. I'll keep my eyes and ears open. I already track local sales for off-road equip so if it pops up here I'll know pretty quick. Hopefully I spot it when I'm on one of my motorcycles and I can call it in and get a good view of...
