I reduced the price on this to 75.00.

Hi Gang, I sold my 2000 4Runner to Peddle last week. Needed more frame work than I wanted to do. So sad! I removed the Scion radio I installed a couple of years ago and put the stock one back in. Should fit Tacoma's too. So I don't need it anymore and would like to recoup some the money I paid...

OK I just spent some quality time with my truck in the rain. Used a propane torch with map gas to get the other 3 bolts out. This works but takes a long time to get the area hot enough. Used an old license plate cut up to protect the axle boot from the heat. Removed the ball joint and then...

I had soaked them in PB Blaster for a couple of days. I will see if I can get some heat in there. I will make some kind of a heat shield to protect the axle boot. I only have a propane torch for heat so i will be there a while. Hate when this happens when doing preventive maintenance. It's like...

OK gang I bought some lower BJ's and just went out to loosen the bolts that hold them in. I knew right away I was in trouble. The first went went mush and snapped off. Anyone been down this road. I was going to try and hit them with a little heat but the axle boot is so close I will probably...

I just received the same ones that Arnezie bought. I usually work on BMW's and they the top of the boots are secured to the ball joint pin to keep the grease in. These are genuine Toyota parts but they are loose fitting at the top of the boot. I assume they will seal when installed but would...

cat Okay I got the nuts off of the front cat to Y pipe. Soaked them with PB Blaster. Then ran the engine to heat them up for about 15 minutes. Put a candle on them and let the wax soak up into the threads. 2 came out fairly easy but the 3rd one was really stuck. It finally broke free and came...

cat I already replaced the rear 02 sensor. Fault is still there. I am just concerned the Y pipe bolts will strip or snap off. I was looking for other who have done this and if they had issues with those nuts. I am going to soak them with PB Blaster and see if they will come off. I don't have...

cat I already bought a new Walker 50 State rear one. The flange on the front one where they meets is pretty rusty and was hard to get a good seal last time I was there. I had to put a fiber gasket in to get rid of a leak. I also have a code for cat efficiency and I'm not sure if its the front...

Hi All, I am debating replacing the front cat on my 2000 California runner. Has anyone had issue with the bolts that hold it to the manifold pipe. I don't want to break one off. I'm about to replaced the rear cat, muffler and tail pipe. Any help is most appreciated.

You need to drive it quite a while to burn all of that oil out of the exhaust. Glad you didn't blow up the engine.

I go to the local salvage yard for tires. Takes some looking and usually a couple of trips by. They sell sets of 4 truck tires for 200.00. You just have to be patient. I picked up 4 for my 4runner and 4 for my BMW recently.

I know a lot has been covered on shocks. That said I'm debating buying some of the fronts that come as a new unit. Shock, spring etc all assembled and ready to install. Usually by the time you take it apart and buy all of the hardware you end up with everything but a new spring. Anybody go this...
