Hi, I got a new-to-me 1999 SR5 4WD 4runner and dang if it isn't missing the battery bracket. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to find one online? JC Whitney has some universal ones but I am not sure which of these if any would work. Please let me know. Thank you, -Bob

Oil light came on while on the highway at about 70 and by the time I went across four lanes and stopped apparently the damage was done. Next day after tow I checked dipstick and it was dry. I put in three quarts and it started up OK with just a noise, like a repeating knock, I guess you would...

Please help me shop for a used engine for my 1999 3.4L. I have a guy who says he has a motor from a Tacoma with 120k miles, been sitting for a few years. How can I tell if it is a match for my vehicle? Unluckiest new Toyota owner here without a clue. Thanks for any advice.
