    Adapting factory rack crossbars to another vehicle

    I'm in love with my 3rd gen's rubberized crossbars and they're perfect for my kayak. Although it's time to scrap the truck due to the infamous frame rust issue, I was hoping to take the bars with me. I was wondering if the factory bars followed any universal rail system? I'd love to mount...

    Frame rust taking my 2000 off the road - what's next?

    I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place guys, so looking for all your input. A few months ago, while I was getting an oil change, the tech brought to light the frame rust of my 2000 t4r (attached pictures). Not sure if it's something that's worth fixing, but it's inevitable I'll...

    Worsening rumble during 2WD on highway

    Thanks for explaining that to me, I previously didn't understand how would cause any problems.

    Worsening rumble during 2WD on highway

    Thanks! What do you mean by "drop the rear drive shaft"? When I do drive in 4 high the noise is gone. Could the carrier bearing also cause the "clunking" sound when switching from rolling the truck forwards and backwards?

    The climate/vent/fan area of my dashboard has been flickering for a while and recently completely cut out. This was happening to my stock cd/radio/tape deck as well. I'm ordering a replacement stereo head unit and was wondering if there's anything I can do to fix the flickering/intermittent...

    Brake lights and dash lights not working, just hooked up new trailer plug

    So I found and replaced the broken 10A "stop" fuse under the hood and it hasn't blown again. So the issue must have happened while I was driving the trailer. I will try and connect the trailer and see if that blows the fuse. Is it that my trailer wiring isn't grounded to the trailer? Or...
