Timing belt was last done by previous owner at 120k miles.

Yes, Chicago isn't kind to cars this vintage. The frame on this truck is solid though. No holes! The surface rust on the tail gate was there when I purchased the truck three years ago. No leaks and the rear glass works.

I was looking at a 5th gen, 14 SR5 Premium to be exact. The reason I started searching for 5th gen is because it comes with everything I want. From the style, to Bluetooth, rear cam, heated seats, easy folding second row and flat folding third row, etc. Dealer wanted 32k out the door. I offered...

Congrats on the job! Fellow Chicagoan here on the northwest side. If you are doing the work yourself and need an extra hand wrenching let me know. If I'm free, I don't mind helping.

If you're near to Chicago, maybe we can work a trade if Raleigh above me doesn't work out for you. Let me know.

SOLD 216k miles I bought it knowing it had a misfire and thought it'll be a simple sparkplug and wire issue. Turns out not. Has new proper dual ground ngk plugs and wires but misfire still exists in cylinder 5. Might have potential head gasket issue as there is slight smoke on startup and...

Hello all, I'm looking to buy my second 4R and it's a 99 Limited, 129k miles, mint leather seats, with locking rear diff. However, there's an issue. The problem is that when you first start the truck, transmission engages and it drives normal. After about 1 minute or so, it begins to slip and...

I'll take it. Sending you PM.

My brush guard attaches to where the factory tow hooks go on the frame. Remove the two tow hooks on each side, raise the brush guard into place, place tow hooks on top of brush guard mounts, bolt it back up.
