Thank you, just what I needed to know!

A buddy needs to go through a Toyota he just purchased. Has anyone purchased from Japan online? Amayama or PartSouk or Megazip or anyone else? The yen is low right now, should be cheaper than any US discount seller. Thanks!

Already tried that, many times....BUT! I think this is the problem.... Toyota door won't open.. easy fix - YouTube

It does not freeze here, and no sign of moisture in the door. I watched Tim’s door actuator repair video. It would seem the death of actuator motor should not affect the ability to open the locking mechanism and not the a door unlatch. As the borescope shows all the rods attached, I am...

My driver’s door will not open now. The key will operate all the door locks up and down but the driver’s door cannot be opened by either interior or exterior handle. I managed to remove the inside door panel (not easy while the door is closed) and have used my phone camera and borescope video...

THATS the kinda sh*t I like to hear ;)

My thermostat housing was seeping on the outer seam, so pulled it and found the rubber gasket had been pinched. The lowest of the three thermostat housing studs came out instead of just the nut. Am wondering if finger tight with locktight red is sufficient before mounting the housing back...

I have a full set of 12 stock front wheel Gen 3 Toyota factory lug bolts $25 I have 3 original aluminum 5 spoke rims great for carrying spare if you do a 5 tire rotation like I do. $25 each Local pickup Oakland Ca

Never. Turn it on an go. Fuel injection, modern oils, even 1997 build tolerances...I just do not worry about it. I am in California, if I were back in Vt where grew up, on the coldest days I would probably wait half a minute, about as long as it took me to get bak out and scrape the...
