You are right - it does work. I think it was set to search Member or something and I didn't really give it a chance

This feels like t4r.org LITE. The Google forum-specific search we have enjoyed must have been a paid service that this site no longer deems worth providing. Sad.

There are some site issues, but to be fair, it's working OK lately as long as you run an ad-blocker. I cannot imagine how many new owners come to this site without knowing that and never return......:ohwell:

Wow. Yeah, you were on a bigger task than I am, for sure. I think I am going to come up from the bottom laying on my back with a box of high-quality bits and eat some metal shavings while I cut off and then drill out the 2 broken studs. I may try an extractor bit of some kind. I have one intact...

Thanks, T4R2014 My instinct is also to just extract the studs and re-bolt with high-quality secure hardware. Having followed this forum for years, I thought I'd make an attempt to 'do the right thing' LOL. If you don't mind, can you clarify what your technique was to get the studs out? 'Slits'...

Rather than start a new thread, I'll piggyback off this one as there is lots of good info and advice. So, last weekend I got out my fists of ham and proceeded to start the job of replacing both cats in my 2000 CA-spec rig. 2 of the 3 header flange studs snapped. At least they broke after the...

I would consider Yota1 Performance in Riverbank, CA (Central Valley) first. Timmy and Sean vouch for them too, and have videos to back it up. If it makes you feel any better, I have had a pronounced TC/Transmission howl/growl/whine for 3+ years/30k+ miles. Push it.

:cheers::cheers: Just a head's up - install the free Ublock Origin ad-blocker and at least you can view the site while it's still up with zero ads. I used to tolerate a few sidebar ads to help the admin pay the bills, but it got completely out of control. The site now operated to serve ads...

I fear the end is near sometimes...... this site was unreachable off and on for a couple days again. Internet Archive, are you listening?

Not that Motorwest needs another endorsement but I'm 2 years in and happy with mine. I have recommenced them to others who feel the same. Buy once Cry once applies here and the price is fair.

Yep - I haven't had my DRLs hooked up since I learned (6 years ago) on this forum how easy it is to disconnect them on 2000s! I want stealth in the woods and it saves on bulbs like crazy, too. I believe I read that 2000 was the last year the were Optional in the US.

Hopefully this member already found one in the last 16 years.. Also he was about 18 then and is now about 34 :)

Any additional updates on these or other retros? Both of my stock headlights have suffered water incursion, and the reflective material is curling up and flaking off. Trying to chart a course forward and probably too lazy to DIY them with oven-baking and whatnot. TY

That's a good-lookin kitty.

If you don't want the super high-end stuff (understandably), check out Shock Surplus buyers guide or one of the other resellers for a ton of comparison videos covering options from basic to more extreme. There are still a lot of options out there for our platform.
