    Can anyone tell me the difference?

    That was my thinking too but summit had them reversed...

    Can anyone tell me the difference?

    Hello, Looking to replace my stock rear springs with MOOG coils, (on a budget), and I notice that there are two part numbers, (81041, 81043), for 1999; I'm thinking perhaps that means one of them is the ~1" taller highlander spring. Can anyone clear up for me which one is the highlander spring...

    Any thoughts on oxygen sensors and a "PO420" code?

    OK, I'm ordering the o2 sensor, (front), tomorrow and I'll put this in upon receipt. I'll take any tips ya got since I'm all about asking those who have been there before. I haven't replaced an o2 sensor for 10 years or more, and that was on a chevy pos. Yeah, hopefully this can be solved...

    Any thoughts on oxygen sensors and a "PO420" code?

    Durk, Thanks for the info...very concise and comprehensive. I've reset the CEL several times and it usually comes back on, throwing the same code, within a tank of gas. I've noticed a 10-15% drop in mpg, so I'm hoping this gets me back to normal. I'll get under it tomorrow and make sure...

    Any thoughts on oxygen sensors and a "PO420" code?

    OK, I have a CA emissions 99 SR5 5spd 4wd, and I'm getting a CEL throwing a "PO420" code, defined as "catalyst system efficiency below threshold, (bank 1)." I know this code can mean a lot of different things. I'd like to start by testing my o2 sensors, does anyone have experience doing this...

    Better Seats?

    I have logged many a 10-12 hour day in my runner with no problems, (6'3" 200lbs). Do you have the "sport" seats in the sr5 package or the standard, vinyl-backed spring slab seats? It's my understanding that the sport seats are just a cloth, non power version of the limited seats and overall...

    Has anyone in the rust belt had luck with a DIY rust inhibitor?

    96Runner4x4, Just curious, did you also paint brake lines, fuel lines, control arms, etc? Or did you mainly focus on frame rails and under body? Thanks,

    Has anyone in the rust belt had luck with a DIY rust inhibitor?

    Just moved from Sunny SoCal to Beantown and I'd like to preserve my pristine undercarriage as long as I can with winter coming and salt on the roads. Has anyone in a similar situation done a DIY rust-inhibiting paintjob with success? Looking mostly for prep/product tips, so it doesn't have to...

    Ebay Intake

    Dude! Just do a deckplate mod, it costs %20 of the hillbilly intake, maintains stock appearance, and is totally reversible in seconds...all that and it's just as effective, (not much). Sounds cool, though...

    Would like to confirm tire size:

    Good info guys. Just curious, is the reduction in mpg's consistent all around?

    Would like to confirm tire size:

    Hello, I have searched. I just wanted to confirm before I spend hundreds...can I fit with no issues 265/75/16 on my 99? I have 265/70/16s stock with the bigger towing brakes option. p.s. - J.A.'s site is the only place I saw anything conclusive, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a...

    Does anyone here run these tires?

    Curious if anyone has experience with these tires or this company. "Retreads" aren't what they used to be... Eco-minded tires Thanks for any info/thoughts...

    4th gear???

    Your syncros are probably shot. Not a good prognosis, you'll very likely need a rebuild. At least it's cheaper with a manual...

    Black Headlights Installed (Before & After PICS!)

    I "3rd" that motion: What are the benefits exactly? And how much does this cost? Anything comparable to an HID setup or does this consistently fall short of stock? Just curious, not necessarily sippin' hater-ade on the deal...

    Squeaky Clutch?

    I have exp'd same thing: I've found that if you contort yourself to lay on the driver's seat floor and look up, you can see the clutch linkage. Look for a spring and shoot both ends with pb blaster/wd40, (wear safety glasses!). This worked to where it happens so infrequently that I couldn't...
