Can anyone tell me where to find a quality yet affordable version of Toyota's "Dorado Gold Pearl" (587) paint to touch up the delamination on my front bumper? preferably in aerosol form.....this paint is almost as difficult to fix as the laser red tricolor that came on my old mustang??? I'm not...

Maybe this is a stupid post, but I hope it helps someone else who doesnt know this. :pound: SO: I started to do some research on the 3rd gen CS-144 GM alternator upgrade(OEM to 140amp). I went as far as to go to the junkyard and pull one off of an old Camaro. I even ordered the plug adapter...

Okay so I guess Im gonna go the impact route. Hopefully I can find a small enough impact wrench to fit lol. Thanks for the help, guys. Sent from my SM-A215U using Tapatalk

So, I'm halfway through doing a timing belt and water pump job. I reinserted the crank bolt to properly time the engine but.....now I cant back the crank pulley bolt back out....you know the struggle Im sure. I cant do the old wrap a belt onto itself trick since the belt and tensioner are...

This is all intriguing. Ill post back in the A.M. with some photos of whatever squirrely-ass things the PO did.

Okay, so I borrowed a few perfect photos from blueblur1984 from a previous post here. With the rear hatch cover off, for starters I noticed this: The relay in mine is red, not blue, like the one in this photo. As for the interior of the panel: The connectors that I've circled were...

The rear hatch was replaced from another 3rd gen, but the rear hatch was never relocked in order to work with the factory keys. The factory keys wont work in the rear lock.

Hello. I was wondering if you guys could help me out here. The old '01 Limited is acting stangely, and I'm not quite sure where the issue could be coming from. Bear with me, as I dont know how much is too little info or too much. To start this tale off......I originally bought this truck from...

FINALLY, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED. FINALLY GOT THIS DEBACLE OF A STEREO INSTALL COMPLETED. Seriously, I couldn't have done it without yall. I'll post pics as soon as I get my interior reassembled :)

In a nutshell, bought the truck used, can't find any comparable model year 4runners in the local junk yard with said plugs, the metra aftermarket replacement OEM plugs are not toyota color coded, so I had to translate the colors.

Thanks to all of you for the abundance of help and answers. I should have this knocked out in an hour or two. Thanks everybody :music:

Okay, All of this makes sense. Eliminating all the speaker and power/ground wires makes one at at time does make it easier. My only question is, as far as the power antenna (pink/blue & black/white) wires go, what do I do with them? or the other "toyota" wires....Are there any of the others that...

OKAY, THIS IS THE INFORMATION I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. YOU TWO ARE THE HEROES OF THE DAY. I'll be sure to be a good one and check back in with a field report. Thanks guys.

I didn't see this, and neither did my paycheck :lalala:
