Summer has been brutal these days in Georgia but my from ebay cargo lock actuator has been surviving the heat!

Dang, forgot about doing this mod. mtbtim, don't think I saw this one in your video library ;P

Good point about checking the freeze plugs. Think I remember seeing a small leak from one of the plugs at the front of my engine.

4xinnovations & Nguyen Works rear swingout bumpers both have features I like. But if I had to chose, I'd probably go with 4xinnovations because I like that you don't have to cut anything & it has a DOT rated hitch. Looks wise, something about the way the 4xinnovations rear tire & swingout is...

Had a P0171 a couple weeks ago & noticed a strong smell of gasoline in my garage after shutting it off. Forum search indicated it was likely a vacuum leak or a MAF issue amongst a few other things. I was leaning towards a vacuum leak since my hoses are original. Thanks to mtbtim & infamousRNR...

I bet after I teach my wife & 3 kids how to drive a manual with your 3rd gen, Tim's video on rebuilding a W59 will come in handy for us ;p

mtbtim, thanks for creating quality videos on keeping our 3rd gens alive! Think you would consider doing an auto trans rebuild? :hiding:

"explodey bit" sounds way less threatening lol.

Part number is 73220-35491-B1. I bought it online through Cobb County Toyota but had to pick it up in person. I forgot the reason why but it was something about it being a seatbelt. I don't remember how much I paid but it wasn't cheap. Pretty sure I got it during a 20-25% off sale which helped.

Replaced my driverside seatbelt with a new one from Toyota because the original started to fray. If I remember correctly it was (3) 14mm bolts torqued to 30ft/lbs, (1) 10mm bolt torqued to 71in/lbs & (1) electrical connector. <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/Cw8p9Et"...

Bumping this because my vehicle skid icon/traction control on my dash started lighting up & beeping intermittently last night while driving straight, sweeping turns, regular turns, etc. at various speeds. Did these steps and it seemed to resolve the issue with my test drive.

We did this November 2022 on my rear hatch & my door lock actuators summer 2019. Several suffocating Georgia summers later all my locks have been good. For reference, I replaced my door lock actuators with new Toyota, from Toyota, actuators and for my rear hatch, the actuator motor (not the...

Not the best example but if you mountain bike, imagine having only one sprocket (large or small) instead of a full cassette. You probably could still ride all your usual trails but you likely wouldn't be as efficient and would put more wear on your bike or body by asking it to do more than what...

I haven't looked into the cost but I'd recommend as soon as you're in a position to. I've been riding stock gears on 35s since 2015. I was in denial for a couple years but don't recommend it. It's embarrassing to think that my 01 stock 3rd gen on 32s is fast relative to my 02 3rd gen on 35s. 10%...

I only see one 3rd gen. Where are the other two? Great looking garage to engineer more 3rd gen products like a mad scientist.
