Could be the bushings, im not to great with transmissions. My first thing would be to check for any loose bolts or things along those lines, the lower RPM's and higher load on the engine could be vibrating just right to make something rattle. Might even be an exausht shield over the cat to...

radiator My truck did that for a while, i tried just a radiator cap and it helped a little, but 2 weeks later the radiator itself was leaking like a freakin sive. I'd check and replace that along with all hoses before i went dicking around with head gaskets or looking for cracks in the block...

The carburetor on my 1984 4Runner is in dire need of replacement or rebuild. I've heard from more than one person that the stock carburetor will out perform any aftermarket carburetor money can buy. Anybody agree with this? And if that should be the case, what would be a good substitute? I...

Hey man its your rig, if you want em on there go for it. I'm not trying to be one of those people telling you want to do/not to do, thats just my opinion. In the right applications, i.e. NOT a Jeep Liberty, they look good. (Not to rag on Jeeps.)

Haha thats what the manual says anyway. I think the reasoning behind it is they're afraid if you tourque a bolt down too much and another one not enough, you'll crack the top. I followed those once, had the top of multiple times, and my s**** still running primo. Its probably more so a way...

I've never been a fan of running boards for an off-roading rig. Personally, if you cant get in your truck dont drive it.

Generally, the more power you add to your vehicle the less gas mileage you'll get out of it. I'm not familiar at all with Toyotas 3.0 engine, but i know from my expericence with Fords Powerstroke through the computer chip you can turn off all the emissions crap which improves fuel economy...

I tried to attach a file, but it didnt work. Sorry I'm new to this forum.

My old man bought her in '84 brand new, and 2 years ago gave it to me to restore it back to its glory days. 199K miles later, shes a little underpowered (probably worn piston rings) but still runs beautiful. It's outlived 4 cars in my driveway, a GMC pick-up bought brand new, Ford F250 bought...
