    Don't You Just Love the Enormous Video Ads?

    I had no idea what you were talking about until I turned off adblock. The site is unusable. This is becoming the dead internet made of AI bots that sell to other AI bots, and there won't be any real people left on the internet.

    Salt belt rusty starter going bad. Buy a OEM Reman or change the contacts?

    I've heard bad things about rebuilt/reman from auto parts stores (but have no experience with them). After taking a swim through the Mojave river, the contacts were corroded in mine. I bought the contact kit, replaced the corroded contacts and plunger, and it's been 3 years. Hardest part was...

    Costco and Tire Sizes

    I had the Concord Costco put on 265/75/16 KO2s on mine. I don't think there was any problem, but maybe because I had that size tire already on the car.

    FS: 3rd gen Toyota 4Runner grilles, ‘01 and ‘99; $40ea, Walnut Creek CA

I was going to attempt the satoshi mod, but bought one that was already done. ‘01 came off my 4Runner, the ‘99 was what I was going to mod, but didn’t touch.

    Blown rear axle seal?

    I smelled it before I found it, def gear oil, doesn’t smell like brake fluid There’s been a weird sound, like dragging brake pads, but I’m guessing it was the bearing on its way out. I don’t have a press, or the time/space to mess around with it, going to take it to a shop tomorrow.

    Blown rear axle seal?

    190k, including a few offroad trips. Thanks for the heads up. I was watching Tim's video on axle seals, and he recommends turning the retainer 180*. Would that be the alternative solution?

    Blown rear axle seal?

    I've extended the breather already, and the breather sounds like it's free. Brake fluid is at normal level. I'll try to get the rear lifted to check sensor ring.

    Sensor is wet, and has some iron filings on it.
