You'll make 140k X 3 = 420k, babyy.

Well, you had to get her into shape and fix all the previous neglect. Sounds pretty much like the real life women I seem to find myself attracted to. :confused:

A 3rd gen (1996-2002) with 7,168 miles? Sir, you are sitting on a gold mine.

What's her name?

Get a sharp chisel and hammer a nice deep groove into the plug. Angle the chisel against the groove and give it a hard hit. That should loosen the plug. I wouldn't drive around with fluid looking like that. You should drain and flush a few times when you get the plug loosened. You don't want...

It is the TBU. I read that the extended or spongy brake feel can be caused by air trapped in the ABS module on 01/02s. The only way to fix the issue is to engage the ABS either by stomping on the brakes or using Techstream. I just want to do it right the first time because it's 30F where I live...

I finally got tired of my warped rotors. I also added speed bleeders. Night and day difference in stopping power. I've got an 02' and do not have the soft/extended travel brake pedal feel. I did bleed the system twice, the first using the traditional method and the last using Toyota Techstream...

I broke her. Too much fun in the snow. Good thing I was close to home. Time to buy spindle reinforcements.

A much easier way to tell if you've got the milkshake is to remove the radiator cap and shine a light. Another tell-tale is to feel the radiator hose. The transmission oil once mixed with the coolant softens the hose. Yet another easy way is to simply look in the coolant overfill. I live in...

Anyone know what these wheels called?

That's an unusual amount of dirt/mud under the door sill. The photo of the male end is a little blurry. Is there any corrosion present on any of the harnesses? I fear you might have some water damage. There's definitely a short somewhere. Time to break out a toothbrush and electronic contact...

I'm going to go guess that the problem doesn't lie with the valve covers. :tongue1: According to service manual: P0770 - Malfunction (mechanical) -Shift solenoid valve SL is stuck open or closed -Valve body is blocked up or stuck -Lock-up clutch The code is mechanical, but I would still try...

They salt roads in NC? What type of undercoat? I live in PA and we salt our roads pretty good. Undercoating is an absolute waste of time and will probably make your rig rust even more as water and salt tend to get underneath the undercoat. I use fluid film and it works. Amazon.com: Fluid Film...

Not necessarily. If you live where the roads are salted, this job becomes an instant b*tch. The rag joint bolts get rusted to sh*t and the fitting on the supply line has a tendency of seizing onto the steel line. Not to mention dealing with tranny fluid running down your armpits. Why would...

Niceee. Saving up my chips for those SCS. Got any photos showing how far they stick out beyond the flares? I stick out about 1.5 in and SPC helped a ton. Still rubs at full compression, so I ended up chopping the firewall. You should be fine if you grind the pinch weld down, heat the liner...
