I have been having a hot start issue for almost a year now. It will struggle, sometime die out and will start on the 2nd or 3rd try. Last week the car was idling in my driveway for about 15 minutes, and when I went to go pull out it died. The steering wheel was fully turned, not sure if that...

I can’t imagine they would have much impact resistance if you get into a collision Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wouldn’t say more concerning in terms of it being more dangerous, just more expensive to fix. The reinforcement is $400 from Toyota and it isn’t a slide over frame section. The old reinforcement has to be carefully removed and the new one has to be put in, which is usually more costly. If you...

I do this type of work for a living and $3500 is not far from where I would charge for something like this. There will be many different opinions as to what you should do. However I would recommended if you do decide to fix it to fix it properly this time so you do not have to keep bringing it...

I just had an issue where I thought the battery was dead, the truck wouldn’t start. As soon as I turned the key to the on position all the lights on the dash would cut out and there would be a buzzing sound. I thought for sure the computer was shot or something like that. I tried the easiest...

I was just quoted by a dealership only because I was curious what they’d charge to change both exhaust manifolds and they told me $5,000 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I did mine recently, I purchased OEM lines from an online dealer, if you can take the time to figure out the diagrams and which lines you’ll need, it makes it easy putting them in. I figured I got about 20 years out of the originals so why not use the same. Another option is to get the...

It’s the OEM brake line. You can see the new one they ran above it going to the brake hose Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you ever figure out the process to get power to the passenger side seat? I see from previous posts the cigarette lighter was used but not exactly how to do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow over 500,000 miles that’s incredible. I’m curious as to how you welded the manifold on the passenger side. Did you remove it and then weld it or with it on the vehicle? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Two years ago I think I payed ~300 for the parts, altogether I ended up at $700 for labor plus a few brake lines fixed, so about $1,000 for it all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Living in the rust belt that looks pretty clean to me. However if you did buy it I would remove that surface rust and coat it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I paid $1,800 two years ago. Its a 1998 limited with 4WD. It had 221k miles on it. I had the timing belt done, I’ve replaced rear shocks and coils, as well as the frame perch for them since they rotted out and broke, front suspension as well. Also wheels from a 5th gen. Sent from my iPhone...

Not for me, I can’t imagine it’d be easy to find a clean frame in the rust belt, nor would I want to remove the body from the frame and swap, easier for me this way and it’ll be good for another 10 years at least. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you. I was able to buy it for very cheap although it did turn out to be more work than I thought. However I was already knee deep into it to not finish it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
