    jump starter or spare battery?

    I Have this one too, and I have used it 2 times, works like a charm. OP - go to this site: Jump Starters Guide | Choosing Jump Starters Made Easy Read up on the different brands/models and get the right thing.

    Discovered Cure To Lack of POWER!!!

    The biggest problem isn't the weight, it's the 275 rear tire. I had ~400whp in my GTO on a 275 and it would not hook in first gear. Not sure wtf they were thinking.

    Is this 4th gen a good buy? 143k for $12400

    I paid $12.5K for a 112K mile 2004 Limited V8 3 months ago. You should probably try to get this for $10-11.

    Schnebly Hill Road

    I was there on Saturday for my first "off-roading" experience. The views are amazing. The road is really rough, but nothing too steep. The guy I was with had a 2wd truck and had no problem - Just need good ground clearance.

    Anybody race?

    I drag race my GT-R whenever they have open track night, however the track here is terrible (Wild Horse Motorsports Park). ATCO is legendary for getting the best time our of stock cars.

    Engines a goner, lets talk options!

    Some states (PA for example) have a yearly inspection of the vehicle. They check that the lights are working, the tires have enough tread, brakes are working, make sure the exhaust isn't rusted/removed, etc. Basically check the functionality of your vehicle. This is in addition to smog...

    Yes, this is correct. You can buy any number of JDM engines that have been pulled for emissions reasons. Keep in mind that if they were never sold in the US they most likely won't work with OBDII or be emissions compliant in the US. If you have emissions in your area you can't use them in...

    WTB: 05+ V8 or V6 4WD 4runner With or W/O Mods <100K miles

    I live in Chandler and just bought a 2004 V8 with 111K. The V8 has good pick up and from about 0-40 it feels really strong. It's not fast but it gets out of its own way. I've only had it since Saturday so I can't comment on anything else.

    Hi All, Just bought a 2004 4Runner Limited V8 this weekend. Bought it as a daily driver/practical car and to do some off-roading. This is the first SUV or truck I've ever owned (always been a sports car guy) so I'm excited! jim
