Thank you for this. Reading now.

Did not know this, but thank you for the heads up. If so, Ill keep both rows.

So, sadly, got caught in a multiple car wreck this weekend in my 2013 SR5. Still pending insurance quote, but I get the feeling its going to be totalled. Crash wasnt bad enough to set off the airbags, but the radiator, front bumper and half the lights, rear bumper, and rear hatch all have...

Blue locktight. Thought I was torquing it to spec. 59lbs. But the fact that it broke makes me think I screwed up somehow. Wrench appeared to be to spec weight but it was a cheap craftsman I got on sale, so I dont know for sure. Dont have access to a welder. At least not myself. There is also...

Any tips on how to spot and fix it? If it's just evaporating is there a way to spot where?

So pardon this being my second thread of the night. I have done a fair amount of maintenance myself recently and am just now getting the time off work to write it up. So a couple of weeks ago I replaced the LBJs and Outer Tie Rods, as they were both originals, and both shot. Vehicle is an...

So the title says it all. A few months ago I decided to replace the fuel filter on my 02 4runner, as its the original and the vehicle is approaching 200k. Swap itself seemed pretty straight through and easy. However, since then Iv noticed a significant drop in my mileage. I used to get...

So my 02 4runner is approaching 200k miles, and most of the mileage services on it have been completed, with the exception of replacing the transmission fluid. I was hoping to take it out this weekend, weather dependent, which will play a little more into the situation and my questions here in...

Colorado springs here. Just moved back and definitely looking for some wheeling partners.

Not exactly Memphis area, but Land Between the Lakes Turkey Bay has all sorts of trails. Range from the beginner basic courses to some much more advanced courses.

About to check the coolant levels. If I am loosing it, what would this mean?

Ok, so how do these things work? Whats more likely, that a spark plug came loose, or that I broke something and will need to repair the plug hole? Additionally is there a way to tell the difference? Is it as simple as trying to screw the plug back in and seeing if it catches?

Took it in for a service a month or so ago. There is oil splatter leaking out of the junction between the engine block and the manifold. You can see it start at the head gaskets and leak down on one side. I want to do the fix myself but need the time to do it (this isnt my daily driver)...

Ok, so I have an 02 T4R with about 185k on it. I replaced the spark plugs myself about 2 year (20k) ago. Now I swapped the plugs out in the summer of 13 and have given it some pretty rough off roading since then, so I dont think its something that would just suddenly pop out. Last week I...

Last bump, if no responses, mods please kill it.
