This site appears to be dying. Not much activity lately. I presume its due to the slowness?

I was going to do the wrapping myself. I have not done a full car before. I have done roofs, trunks, hoods, mirrors, etc. So, this will be my first time. I anticipate material being around $500.

My 04's paint has seen better days. As a result, I have been thinking about wrapping it. The color is a 3M Satin Thundercloud. With that in mind, what all do you guys think needs to come off to do a good job? Just the fender flares / cladding, emblems, license plate light cover thing? There...

When my 4R is cold, and I brake while in reverse, it makes a loud brake noise. It only does this, when under a load and I brake. For example, if I put it in neutral and let it coast back, then brake, no noise. It also only does it when cold. The noise is just a loud brake noise. Any thoughts?

Hi - My 04 Nautical Blue paint has seen better days. Bumper is oxidized, hood and clear coat decided to divorce, scratches, etc. With that being said, I think I am going to wrap it myself. May go with the Calvary Blue from 2018, I think. Does anyone have any brands of wrap they recommend or any...

Why mention ethnicity at all? And claiming one group endorses "toxic beauty standards?" Why was that necessary? It's pretty offensive. And, then above, claiming I might be happier in a magenta Bug? It's ok. You are free to say what you want. No need to beat around the bush. Just don't be...

When I bought my 4runner earlier this year, I was in need of a car that got better than the 8.5 MPG that my 1995 Bronco got. My job started requiring us to go into the office 3 days a week. I am about 20 miles from the office. So, I started looking for a 4Runner. Found one in decent shape, low...

I don't post much on here. But, the post above this should probably be heavily edited or removed. Just my .02.

Hi - Before someone says "Try the search feature," or, "Did you even look before asking this dumb questions?", I did indeed look. The search feature on this site is less than robust in my opinion. Anyways, I am looking where to mount my sub in an 04. It has the deck in the cargo area which is...

Oh geez... If I started from my first car at 15, this would be a loooonnngggg list. My father has always been in the auto industry, so I was lucky enough to be able to trade cars frequently and not lost money since I could get them for what they paid in trade, or below invoice for new. My last...

Good job. Seems like a pain. Remind me to not ever do this.

You may want to change your title to indicate this is the Power Stop braking kit . (That is, if the link in your ad is accurate). Your title alone will push people away. $350 for pads is insane. But, for the entire kit, is not a bad price. Just my .02.

My fender flares on my 04 are sun damaged on the top side. They are pretty bad, and cant be repaired with a polisher. They would need to be body worked and reshot. With that being said, is anyone aware of a company that makes painted flares? I may end up looking at wrecking yards, but it appears...

That's great. Great car for your son to learn to mess with. Some of my best life experiences thus far are working on cars with my parents around or assisting. Yes, even my mother. She is the one who taught me how to drag race in a stick.

That is a lot of work, probably not worth fixing. At all. I can do you a favor though and take it off of your hands for what you have invested thus far. I have zero ulterior motives here.
