    7 people dead in Seal Beach, CA shooting; one victim was SoCal off road enthusiast

    This shooting occurred yesterday in Orange County, and while the deaths of all the victims are tragic, one death in particular really struck me personally. David Caouette was evidently the off road trail consultant for Mission Viejo Land Rover. I know we're all Toyota folks here but I found...

    Group Buy on 4th Gen Rear Bumper

    I'm still interested. I just want to see some good pictures of the final product. Preferably on a 4runner. Those pictures of pictures in a magazine on a vintage Land Cruiser don't give me a very good feel for what the bumper will be like.

    Advice-Drop the Pan or Dealer Flush?

    I'm at 50,000 miles and I have never and do not plan to tow. What do you guys recomend? Complete flush? Drain pan and replace? Do nothing and wait for 60,000? 75,000?

    Power Steering Flush & Evaporator Clean

    Noise from the steering column when I turn left and right

    This isn't tires rubbing at full lock and this isn't the driveline clunk, this is a slight creeking when I turn the steering wheel left or right. The noise comes from the steering column and I hear it inside the passanger area (this isn't an outside or under the hood noise). I swear I read...

    Tips on Yosemite

    This is just not true. We don't have Grizly bears in California, only black bears. Against a black bear there really isn't a caliber that won't do the job. You can scare one away with a loud voice and rocks, you could kill one with a .22, or hurt it enough to scare it away.

    Tips on Yosemite

    Anywhere with any altitude is going to be cold in March. Your best bet is to go to the desert. There's no body of water that you prefer, but there is lots of beautiful desert. I recomend Anzo-Borrego desert highly. You can camp anywhere, there's tons of trails, and the weather is warm even...

    Still love my Toyota

    I still love my Toyota and I would by another one in a heartbeat.... ....another one from Japan. No one seems to talk about it, but all the recalled Toyotas(except for this small wave of Prius brake problems, which has nothing to do with the recall for sudden exceleration) are Toyotas made in...
