Take a look at the specs for ATE super blue or ATE super yellow. These are the same except for the color. Color change is handy when doing a complete flush. You can see when the flush is complete. Butch

I use ATE (super blue or super yellow) brake fluid. Very high boiling point and less water adsorption. I use a 'Mighty Vac' bleeder. Easy to bleed brakes with one person. Empty the MC with a turkey baster and fill with blue. Starting with the caliper furthest away, draw a vacuum and open the...

This is a very economical and often used clicker torque wrench. The 1/2" model http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=239 Search for 3/8 or 1/4 if you need a lower torque range. Butch

Try http://www.obdscan.net/ Harrison has rs-232 and usb models. I got the canscan model as this will become the industry standard soon. The 2005 has the beginnings of a fully implemented CAN bus. Butch

I got a Tom Tom Go unit and really love it. http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=76# Butch

Kmvreter I have the one I linked to. It is installed on a 60 gallon unit. The compressoor turns off at 135 psi. Had it for a while now and still no trouble. In the Georgia summer there's a lot of water in the air and so it gets a good workout. At this time of year not much if any water is...

Greasefingers, Keeping water drained from the compressor is important. If you want to have your compressor do this for you on cycle on/off try this from Harbor Freight. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=46960 Not very expensive and works great. As far as oil for...

I'll also recommend Aerospace 303. It is an excellent UV protectorant and does not leave the surface sticky or shiny. Around my area I can only find it at pool product stores. It's used to UV protect around pools. Try it. Butch

Miata is my toy. Just love to intimidate SUVs with it :D OTM - Other Than Miata

Got one at: http://www.partznet.com/toyota/4runner/accessories/homelink.html Easy install. Butch

The V6 is a chain and as such does not appear in the Gates guide. The VVT may or may not be interference. I have a VVT Miata that is non-interference. Does anyone know if the V6 is interference or not? Butch

Try http://www.gates.com/brochure.cfm?brochure=981&location_id=540&go=preset1347Gates This will explain interference and if you click on 'Timing Belt Replacement Guide' it will download a PDF for all vehicles including the T4R. Interference engines are marked with a *. Butch

Did you check the spare?

Thanks bulldog-yota! I'll poke around under it this weekend :cool:

Just got a new TR4 2005 4X SR5 V6 Titanium. Love it! Just found this group and have had looked around quite a bit. I plan to do all of the future maintenance on it. I have a hydraulic pit lift and am trying to get some help from more knowledgeable members on the best way to lift the TR4. For all...
