Not a bumper, but I don't know of many companies offering skids for our 3rd gens with extra protection for the catalytic converters. Especially for folks in the greater Bay Area... I'd love to be able to park mine on the street again but after 1 unsuccessful attempt followed by a successful...

Longest I've recorded is 322 miles and filled up 16.018gal (20.1mpg). I usually fill up around 250 miles though. I somehow managed 17.5mpg and 20mpg tanks last weekend driving over Tioga Pass in Yosemite, down 395 to Barstow, and over 15 to Vegas and in the craziest crosswinds I've experienced...

Any updates for those still waiting? I've been in relatively regular contact with them since March (was supposed to get them mid-April) and every time I ask, I get "ohh we're still 3 weeks out" or something to that effect. I ordered mine Nov 2021 so coming up on a year now. I kinda feel like...

I second both of these things. Have had these valves on both my RAV4 and 4R for for a combined 7 years and have never had an issue--I'm not a rock crawler though. The only complaints I have are that the pan drains reeeeally slowly if the oil isn't warm, and that I'm not positive it lets...

First post as a long time lurker--and I have 2 questions: 1. I recently grabbed a set of four 5th gen 17" takeoffs for my 2000 Limited 4WD. I still have a stock 16" spare. I want to run 32s on the new wheels (265/70R17, specifically) but don't know what to do about the spare. If I were to run a...

Better safe than sorry! I bought a 2000 Limited last June with 215k on it and promptly blew an 8" crack in the top of the radiator a week later... on a mountain in Big Sur... 5 miles and 3k vertical feet from paved road... A new radiator is way cheaper than an offroad towing adventure. I...
