    Front sway links for 2” lift

    There used to be some info here about an easy swap for sway bar end links. I can’t seem to find it. 98 with 2” lift, I need new front links. Was it the rear links that are longer than front so it works to use the rears up front after the lift?

    Champion Tacoma Radiator in 3rd Gen

    Fuel Tank Relocation (and new Rear Bumper design)

    Keith - I really think .188 is up for the job. I've loaded my trailer with enough tongue weight to send my headlights into the night (no bags). I dunno, I bet I put 600# tongue weight on. The receiver comes directly out of hole in back bumper and IF there was any flex at all, I would see the gap...

    Detailed 1866 Mile Road Trip MPG Log

    I’ll share a separate project thread soon after I finish interface, but essentially a variable electric fan that reads engine temps and for ac I put a sensor on condenser temp so it only runs for ac when needed and only how much needed (not on highway).

    Detailed 1866 Mile Road Trip MPG Log

    Finally a well documented and adjusted report :) I log every tank with Fuelly app on phone. Interesting that your adjustment is 11.9%. Seems big. I’m on same tire size on Falken Wildpeaks. Just yesterday returned from 2,000 mile trip. Did the same thing. I checked adjustment over 100 miles on...

    Toyota parts made in China?

    I did. When you said: Just felt that way to me, but sounds like I misunderstood. Appreciate the response, and good to know we agree on the important stuff.

    Toyota parts made in China?

    Based on your context and tone, I suspect you meant to say 'they're INostensibly a bunch of commies'. If you are able to actually engage in manufacturing in mainland China, you will find that the newly minted middle class people there are the most entrepreneurial, resourceful capitalists you...

    Crazy "dual transmission" eBay ad

    Nope. It’s got a dual transmission!!! Just depends which one you select lol. “What’s it like to have two trannys at one time?” “You select the transmission that you need and, for the automatic, the tranny shift by itself, for the manual, you the clutch and shift through the gears. Please...

    High idle then slowly drops down.

    2nd the TPS Mines manual trans and it was a little weird w startup. Not enough to cause concern. Maybe like yours. I got a couple TPS codes recently that reset themselves right away. I got new oem tps and warmup is super smooth now. I was surprised to find out it was even an issue. Tps is just...

    Crazy "dual transmission" eBay ad

    What if he’s right? :humble: Love how matter of fact he is. Hood is fully oxidized and he says ‘great condition as far as paint and body, slight color fade’. Looks like an alright truck. Think I’d want to boil the interior tho. Assume it’s a manual? His picture of ‘the main feature’ is a...

    New Gen 3 Owner!!

    Nice. Enjoy it. No worries about 200k. I’m about to turn 200k and I swear my 98 is more dependable than a new truck. Perfect platform to teach your son the basics and there’s no shortage of appropriate projects for that you’ll find in here. You’ve found mtbtim videos? A new wrench can watch...

    Wacky Instrument Cluster Issue

    Maybe worthwhile trying to isolate the problem first. You know battery unhook resets it. What if you unplug the cluster harness instead? If that resets it then you know it’s cluster. If not, then try unplug ecu. Does the cluster still get power while key is out? Why?
