Carhartt makes a good seat cover….I’ve had them in my 98 and the Taco for years. They take a beating….well worth the $300 I think they were.

Thanks JWaldz. Motivation to try and bring my temps down. I saw 216F on my Scangauge II yesterday after driving around mid day. Outdoor temp was a mild 75F, quick run into the store (engine only off for <5mins.) The heat sink effect, where the engine actually gets hotter after shutting down...

Never saw this thread...subbed

I spent most of last summer grinding rust with a wire wheel on my 98. It was in better shape than that, but that is workable. I coated with POR-15 and Fluid Film after the paint cured. Grinding rust is a tedious and filthy job, especially if you want to be rid of ALL of it. I got lazy toward...

JWaldz Im interested too, my 98 3RZ auto has been getting higher temps lately (200+ on occasion). I've been attributing it to the warming ambient temps outdoors, or heat sink effect (shut down at operating temp, started again within 5 mins and temps are high), but I'm curious if the thermo will...

Pretty sure my 98 3RZ is 60/40.

Doubt it, but can't say for sure.

Bummer on the bill...I did my water pump about a year and a half ago. When I pulled it off, the pump wasn't even bad. It was the gasket. I still put the new pump on, but just goes to show you, an $800 job might've been a $15 job. Another thing to keep an eye on, is the coolant lines that go to...

+1 on the Corroseal for prep.... I had wire wheeled my frame and wiped down with Ospho, another rust converter, fairly caustic at that, when my neighbor brought home some Corroseal. I coated with POR15 after the Ospho, then Fluid Film over that. Its holding up well after almost a year. I'd say...

Thanks davidch, Where did you find that schematic? All the diagrams I found just showed the exhaust components, I believe the bracket was listed in the frame sub-category. I did some digging through old threads and found 19963.4lsr5, who was looking for the same part. I sent him a message and...

I will try those. The problem is most sites I’ve tried have a very vague description and/or lack of a photo/image of part.

Anyone got a part number for the bracket that holds the flange between the muffler and cat in a 3rZfe? 98 2.7 automatic...any help appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went with the third crossbar method with the Rola mounts. I have the basket extender and welded everything together after owning it for 3 years. Painted it when I got it brand new, and again just this past summer after welding together. I can’t attest to extreme off road use, but I’ve had...

Make sure you use what you need of the POR15 in one sitting. I mangled the top getting the can open, and even with a couple nitrile gloves covering the top, it hardened up on the top , I had to crack through it to get to the wet paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't help with th OP but I recently lost the ground wire bolt coming off the battery in my '98 3RZ. it was bolted to the body next the the battery. Anyone know the thread size?
