Only way to find out is to measure your existing sun visors and then measure your buddys in the Tacoma. The mounting hardware should be similar enough, and I imagine they will probably work as long as the color matches. I would love to do this to mine if it turns out okay, only problem is I...

This is so weird...I actually ran completely out of gas last week in my 99 Limited. Pushed it downhill and coasted into a gas station, once there I completely filled up the tank, expecting to finally put in the full 18 gallons or so I thought it took...wrong, a few tenths of a gallon under 17...

Try calling these guys, I'm pretty sure they ship stuff out. It's a Toyota only junkyard in Northern CA...(800) 765-7100

Brand new pads and rotors are super cheap, why didn't you just replace 'em when you noticed them pulsating in the first place?? You're gonna have to sooner or later, and it seems like a big PIA to have to borrow dial indicators, keep pulling 'em off and on, yada-yada-yada. Plus having rotors...

I have the same problem, I have an aux-in cable plugged into the back of my HU for a DVD player mounted right below and they both hit the white plastic housing behind them. I'm not 100% sure but I think that the housing back there is for the a/c ducts in the center of the dash. I don't think...

Headrests are definately the way to go, if you shop around online you can find a pair of tan replacement ones for less than a grand. You can also buy pre-made slipcovers to go over 'em to hide them for about 30$ each. I should mention tho that I have a 10" drop-down in my rig that I bought at...

Just hit 140k on my '99 Limited, no mechanical issues whatsoever outside of a little shimmy on the freeway. When I bought mine I saw at least half a dozen 3rd gens for sale with over 200k on 'em. That was actually a big factor for me to buy mine...compare that to most domestic cars and SUV's...

Here's a link with more info and even explains in detail and specifically lists Toyota wheels as being special... http://www.leadfreewheels.org/101.shtml

Well, I may have some insight into this issue...I just spoke w/a buddy of mine that also has a 3rd gen (2000 limited) and had the same vibration problem. He spoke w/a manager at the Big O tires out here who states that it is a common condition on 3rd gens with factory wheels (keyword: factory...

166k on the odo is a lot for a 2001. That thing was definately driven, I would be careful...the national average is between 12 and 15k a year, multiply that by 6 years and that car should have no more than 90k on it. I bought my 99 Limited 6 months ago for just over 10k with 127k on the odo from...

Here's a JVC for the same price, not an Alpine but better than a Jensen! http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=16813 I just ordered a bunch of stuff from these guys last week and they were good to deal with

My wife and I own both a 4Runner ('99 Limited) and a TJ (first a '98 and just recently traded it in for an '04) and I gotta say one is definately not a replacement for the other. The Jeep definately has better off-road prowess and is just fun to drive, especially in the summer with the top and...

PLease do, that would be an awesome form of reference for many of us out here. Just think of all the good karma you would receive for saving so many people mechanic bills!

How ironic, I'm reading this thread and at the bottom is an ad for a place that buys scrap converters...look at the price for a foreign one! I'm about to take a sawzall with me to the local movie theater parking lot myself! (Just kidding...)...

You do your own timing belt? Add a digital camera to that list and give us a write-up on how to swap that bad boy so us DIY'ers can give it a shot as well. I need to change mine and am a little worried about taking care of it on my own.
