I'm in your area and working on my 3rd gen this week. I'm working on a number of projects one worth filming could be my drivers window issue. If I use the auto up function it comes back down half way. I have the panel off trying to diagnose the cause. I believe the glass is mounted too high...

I have a 2.5" lift debating if I really need this or not.

Is it better than this one? RM83010-TTL - TAC-DR Front Differential Drop Kit (95.5-04 Tacoma, 96-02 4Runner, 00-06 Tundra, 00-06 Sequoia)

Wrong section. How much do you want for it? I'm interested!

Hi- How do you remove the brackets inside the cargo area storage cubby? The brackets have a strap attached with a clip. I believe these are for holding warning reflectors. I would like to remove them to install an amp. The screws look like they need a square allen key. Please advise!

I'm planning to paint a black plastic grille with color-matched spray paint. I've noticed how the fins inside the grille are black while the outside is matched to the body color. Can someone please provide a picture of their color-matched factory grille so I can mask off the proper areas to stay...

In my case wheel spacers exacerbated the effects of tire imbalance. I believe this is since the length of the lever arm of the body (chunk of tire) producing the force is increased the amount of force is increased. Not an expert.

Awesome. Should I find myself in the market I have an excellent trade for you!

Spidertraxx 1.25" is what I have. You need to order two sets. Installed: The Green Machine! Order 2: Toyota 1.25" Thick Wheel Spacers They come with thread locker and the hardware required. I like the look of these, it makes my lift feel more stable and best of all driving through mud now...

The salvage title stigma is unfortunate but only becomes apparent when trying to sell it. I don't have any plans to sell but I imagine putting many miles on after the damage would read to buyers that it has been repaired properly. I have attached a picture from when I had first bought it before...

Thank you and happy new year to you as well! I am seriously enjoying the truck. I have been to Yosemite, Pismo, Santa Cruz and Rowher Flats so far and camped in it for several nights - it is awesome. A great fit for my lifestyle. The negatives so far have been the MPG and harsher ride than...

The omitted rationale for opting to get a more expensive but lower milage 3rd gen was my lack of tooling and area to wrench at the moment. I was dying to join the club and this one had all the options I was looking for and despite the steep price tag, I went for it. No looking back! I have...

Thank you for the warm welcome. I opted to spend more upfront as I have limited tools and locations to work on the truck. I monitored the market for over three months and test drove several before arriving at this one. I'm happy to hear your opinion. I have added the rear diff breather kit to my...

I purchased the steering rack from Kraze because $500 shipped with outer tie rods brand new OEM is a good deal compared to Camelback Toyota. I will take your advice and do a full power steering flush and reservoir cleaning and go from there (hold onto rack either way). The truck was on the...

Thank you for the warm welcome and invites; I will take you up on both! Here are my planned projects, let me know if any sound new and interesting to film. LBJ inspection/replacement Seafoam treatment Fluid film Head unit, stubby antenna, backup camera, door speakers, tweeters and amp install...
