    where the h*** is the %$*&$$@!! oil filter on my '93?!

    I tried to ghetto my filter out last time (also my first oil change on my 4runner) with a screw driver... man, tell ya what, these little import engines are a lot more of a PITA to work on than my old 78 f150.. at any rate, yes, you should probably take the skid plate off just to make life...

    Venting!!!!

    You could always consider not tightening either end down all the way until you've got both ends of the filter threaded... just a thought, in case you ever have to change one again. Either way, you're better off than me. The forward connection on the fuel line is stripped all to hell and both...

    power?

    So you aren't gunna dig this, but dig this. I drive a 1990, 3.slo auto. Yeah it's a 4x4 and yes it putters but I go about 65 on my way to work every day with mostly highway mixed with a little city driving. Takes a bit to get going that fast but it goes, but I only get about 15mpg average. BTW...

    Seats

    stock seats you get pretty much get from any pick-a-part or salvage yard and they're usually pretty cheap. only problem is finding ones in the right color, or you can search craigslist or something for a 2nd gen that someone's parting out. if you're looking for brand new stock seats or after...

    Greetings from San Diego

    They don't just work with the Marines, although that is what they're generally known for. We've got three Doc's on my ship and we're only a Destroyer (Crew of about 250). They can go either to FMF which is fleet marine force, FMSS (Fleet Marine Special Service), to a ship like mine or to a Naval...

    Front and back door house keys, 4rnr key, bike lock key, sister's house key, tiny swisstech knife/bottle opener/screwdriver (called a utili-key, looks almost like a car key) albertson's rewards card, and a tag from one of our torpedo's on my ship that says "Do not remove until in Torpedo Launch...

    Speedometer correction

    So this is weird, I think at one point in her life, someone had bigger tires on my truck but switched to 31x10.5x15's because my speedo is doing the exact opposite of everyone elses. It says that I'm going 4-5mph faster than I actually am. (I pretty much use my gps as a speedo) Anybody have any...

    catalytic converter question

    I have a 90 and my stock cat is bolted in. I'm not sure if that was changed in later models or not. I'm about to replace mine too though, any suggestions that are California legal?

    Anybody in San Diego...

    Anybody feel like taking a relative noob out to a easy trail so I can give my 4wd a little test? I'm running a stock '90 with a 3.slow and I haven't had a chance to take her out yet.

    Betty, the '90 3.0L

    So, I changed the oil with Mobil-1 10w-30 full synthetic and put a K&N oil filter on, did a transmisison drain and refill, put a new Denso O2 sensor in, and swapped the old air filter with a new K&N one. I think I'm going to do the ISR mod this week sometime and do a coolant flush. Even though...

    Betty, the '90 3.0L

    So, Check this out. I bought a 1990 T4R on monday for $2100. That's great, I know, but along with a pretty awesome ride, came a pretty awesome conglomeration of problems. Firstly, the O2 sensor was bad, so I went a head and ordered another Denso one and replaced it. At the same time, I went...
