    Intermittent CEL (P0420)

    Hi all, I have been experiencing an intermittent CEL for quite some time. I had the codes checked when the CEL went on initially and according to the guy at Pep Boys it was giving a P0420 that was showing up twice. No idea if this refers to the front and rear o2 sensors being bad. Anyhow, the...

    Maintenance Mystery

    I do know the water pump was been changed out, just don't recall at what mileage. I think it was around 125k. It showed up on the carfax. Also, under the hood it states that the timing belt was done @ 125K. I forgot to mention that I had the brakes done @155k when I got the truck but its...

    Maintenance Mystery

    Hi guys, I'm looking for some maintenance advice. When I bought my truck (@155k), I had a carfax done on it and everything looked good so I decided to buy it. The previous owner had regular maintenance done at Pep Boys, which was where I was taking my truck at the time. I figured I'd be able to...

    A Christmas Story

    I once hit a christmas tree, stump first, driving in the fast lane on the freeway. It put a pretty good dent in the bumper of a T100 I owned at the time.

    synthetic oil change over at 120k

    What makes you say this? This is the first I hear about recommendations to not switch to synthetic oil for higher mileage vehicles.

    best place to order tires

    I got my tires from discount tire direct. It's America's Tire's (in CA) website and if its a tire they stock they will price match the online price OTD in store as well. Or you can ship to their shop if you're ready for install. Worked out well in my case.

    How can I disconnect the motor for the power antenna?

    I need to do this also. The antenna is stuck in the open position and every time I put the stereo in am/fm mode the antenna motor makes an obnoxiously loud cranking noise.

    Ebay Fender Flares

    I had purchased a T100 that had those on when I got it. I didn't really like the look but when I went to take them off, the rubber lining on both passenger side fender flares were fused to the paint and would not come off without peeling the paint. Just thought I'd mention that.

    Upgrading 3rd Gens

    Are engine issues (cracked heads/bad valves) more likely to happen to 4x4 and/or manual trans 4runners? I had a 89 4x4 manual trans that ended up getting a cracked head/valve and it was problematic after that which is why I ended up selling it.

    Upgrading 3rd Gens

    Hi all. I've been looking to replace my '99 3.4 2WD Sport with a 4x4 model. I've found a 99' 3.4 4x4 manual trans with relatively low miles that I'm interested in. It turns out that the person selling the 4runner owns a shop and purchased it from someone who had it towed in due to a cracked...
