    Twice aligned, still have outside tire wear?

    Thanks guys, liked etc. each of your replies. I will first just rotate since the rears are still ok, a lot better actually. Airing down the rear to 29 and the front to 31 should have helped but not enough I guess. I've done a fishing line alignment before but I'll take the advice to just...

    Twice aligned, still have outside tire wear?

    Got some Nitto Ridge Grapplers and loved them for a year, then noticed bad sway bar bushings (frame/inside were loose due to rusted brackets) and bad LBJs. Fixed issues with larger than stock bushings and had a shop do new LBJs but noticed bad outside tire wear up front on both sides. I'd love...

    Igniter Failure?

    Just got the P1300 code as Runner died on the road suddenly.. crank, few kicks, but no start. It was shaky on startup for months and had thrown lots of P0300 and P0420 codes as it went bad. It was one of the wires on the back of the ignitor, shook until metal fatigue got it. Wiring harness...

    20 years old and first major repair

    If you can keep them dry and away from salt they last until they're killed unnaturally. 200k timing belt with a non-interference design. Perfect.

    Fuel leak. Please advise.

    3Bears: Wyoming is not a rust belt state, dry/high and no NaCl on the roads.. but I got this in Colorado last winter for a steal and I think it's from the north east. Ohh well, I grew up there and am used to some real rust. Brillo_76: I may be able to just get a wrench above to the top nut...

    Fuel leak. Please advise.

    The lower rust with the hole is the skid plate, it is rusty here but still sound enough on the bottom to protect against rocks etc. I'd be tempted to check out a junkyard but the closest one is in Colorado. One thing that makes me worry a bit is that the front drivers side bolt just spins so...

    Fuel leak. Please advise.

    Thanks for the quick reply and info, I really think it's coming out of the side seam still though. Up above the seam it looks dry, like the gas is coming out of the corner where the halves come together which makes sense given the rust pushing the halves apart. Here's a pic that shows the dry...

    Insurance coverage and mods

    You can always pay more for more coverage, but why? When a kid totaled my 98' their insurance paid but didn't want to cover the lift so I grabbed the springs, wheels, tires... essentially anything but the motor/trans and they were fine with it. As stated above you'll spend more on payments...

    Exhaust upgrades that dont sound "ricey"?

    The Borla 40665 Turbo XL 24" is great, much quieter than my VR4 with downpipe but still something when you get on it. There is some drone at 2k but I don't hear it with the windows up much and not at all with music.

    Fuel leak. Please advise.

    Hey guys, first time poster here but long time 3rd gen owner and poster on other forums. I've got a small leak on the front drivers side corner on my fuel tank and it's gone unnoticed for a while. The attached pic illustrates the issue with the wet spot smelling like fuel but not dripping or...
