I replaced mine around 210k as a peace of mind thing.

Still have the original alternator, starter replaced around 180k

I found out that Camry steering wheels from similar years are direct bolt-ons. I found a 1997 matching Camry steering wheel for my 98 4Runner at a junkyard. Direct swap, airbag and all.

Yea, you aren't getting the bottom part of the shock over the bushings tight enough to catch the threads. What I did recently was wrap a tie strap around the shock, hooked the tie strap eyelets around the hitch and cinched the hell out of it which pulled the bottom of the shock towards the back...

my sunroof leaked exactly like this. my sunroof motor was burned out anyway and I don't want to spend the money to fix it so I just sealed it off with clear caulking from the outside. Hasn't leaked a drop since.

that's what I bought. There are two small philips head screws that you remove, take off the old wiper and put the new one on.

second hot rod upholstery, he does VERY good, detailed work. they're costly but totally worth it. i wanted to work on this with my dad for father's day, and was in town for a limited time and he expedited the shipping for me. great guy, great work. seats still look great.

hmm, based on what I see here it's only applicable to 2000-2002 models...I wonder if one would work on my '98. 1998 Toyota Radiator. Engine, Cooling, Make - 1640075181 - Genuine Toyota Part

i'm jealous of that immaculate steering wheel!

I consider those funnels absolutely required for coolant work!

yep, had this issue too. I didn't have the shoes adjusted out nearly far enough when first put the drums back on.

I cannot recommend this enough. I got so fed up with bleeding my system after a rear drum brake job that I bought 4 speed bleeders, installed them all around and the system bled like a dream. Install speed bleeder, attach little hose to it, open bleeder, pump brake pedal, top off reservoir...

let us know how it goes. i'll try to post a picture of mine. I should have smoothed it out more, but it was my first time!

yea, I just got a tube of clear silicone outdoor caulk and caulked all around the edges. Kind of wish I had used more, but I'll re-apply if it ever leaks again.

I unclogged my sunroof drains and it still leaked. Mine also doesn't open anyway, so I just sealed it off from the top with clear caulk. Hasn't leaked a drop since.
