If you're not going to provide any help, then please don't post on my thread. I've tried 2 of my local Toyota dealers (and also 1stToyotaSales.com or something recommended here) and they all told me that I can only buy the complete LCA which includes the LBJ. Other posters have had the same...

OK, so I've tried unsuccessfully to get OEM Lower Ball Joints for my '05. All the online places and the couple dealers I called will only sell the complete lower control arm for like $450 each! I've heard this by others on the forum as well, but I've also read about people being able to buy...

I had 68K miles when I first did the front pads (Duralast). Since I've only owned it since 47K miles I can only assume by what I saw/think that the brakes were all original when I bought it. I've heard stories here of people's runners (pre- 4th Gen!) going many miles (100K+ on brakes)...

Well, I finally broke down and bought some rotors to go with the pads I've had sitting around for a couple years now. Since the Brembos I was waiting for (about a year on backorder) are no longer made apparently, I decided to look elsewhere. Based on opinions here I went with the NAPA Ultra...

Well, here is how I understand it: You always should contact your insurance company whether you're at fault or not. (This way anything you say can't be used against you) My company will do all the leg work. They are paying me because I can get a check as soon as the appraisal is done which is...

Well, I'm not too worried about it since I took a bunch of pictures of the scene including my truck, his truck with license plate, and a great shot showing his truck's tire marks in the snow in relation to my front bumper! I think that these should provide enough evidence that he's at fault...

The adjuster came out today to my work so I parked right near the windows. Luckily I saw him show up and take pictures so I went out there to point out the minor things that the camera/adjuster may not have seen or cared to make note of. I'm very curious as to what is going to be included on...

Yea, I called my insurance company and filed the claim. She said that it was his fault since he was backing up. The guy called me tonight and was pretty bummed when I told him I already made the claim. I was kind of disappointed though because I, apparently, have to call the plow truck's...

No luck contacting lanscape co. So when I Googled the address shown on the truck's reg. it came up as a landscape company. I went to their website which listed a phone # and email address, neither of which worked. I then went to the address (it was a house!) and nobody was home. I noticed...

That's what I'm thinking Yea, I'm definitely leaning towards making a claim tomorrow since I told him I already filled out the papers and it seems the safest route. I just hope he has his OWN car that he can use his insurance for or he might lose his job or something. Oh well...itsh happens!

A town contracted plow truck backed into me yesterday! He only grazed my front right bumper leaving mostly paint marks which could be buffed out I'm sure, a slight scratch across the headlight lens, and completely broke the cheap plastic Yota "bull bar." Also, the bumper cover paint has a...

Haha..you're talkin two different problems. I thought the original post was addressing a warped rotor issue, but now I think it might be the driveshaft clunk too! At very slow speeds (but still rolling), there is a pulsing that you can feel through the car/brakes. I also have this on my 05...

Well, my rent is split three ways..I moved into a house with two of my buddies from college. Massachusetts is not that cheap really. We pay $1700/month for a three bed single family home just outside Boston, which is a pretty good deal. I like your truck alot man..nice "smoked" look to it.

Ahh yes..GAS! Yeah, I hear you about the gas. I just moved closer to work which cut my daily commute from 85 to 20 miles. At the time I figured I'd save $250/month, but now it's looking like $300 I'll save. That's half my rent! I'm getting about 16.5-17 mpg with mixed driving. I just hit...

Why argue? Okay, I understand that everyone is on different levels of understanding, as well as having different egos. But, aren't we here to share our experiences and learn from each other? I find it amusing when someone says something really stupid, but please don't go acting all tough on...
