I got the part from Impex, and it's definitely OEM. It's just the wrong part haha

I'm pretty smooth brain but have owned a lot of Toyota trucks, so I did exactly that and after testing the resistance on both the new sender (pn 83320-35530) and the old one (which I suspect was replaced at some point with an incorrect newer version), I discovered that they're not only different...

Gauge is showing just shy of 2/3 when the tank is full (confirmed the tank as actually filling up completely, 18ish gallons went in), tank shows empty after less than 100 miles, light is always on. Before I put the tank back in, I tried every possible combination of wiring for the 3 main wires...

Kinda at wit's end with this one. I've read every applicable thread on inaccurate fuel levels on the internet I can find about this thing and still can't make sense of it. Normally I'd just live with it, but this is my daughter's first car, and I'm just waiting for her to forget to set the...

Hoping for a little guidance on a 98 4WD I just picked up for my daughter. It came with zero records but I've had Tacomas and Land Cruisers my whole life, so I'm comfortable going through it. I just replaced the LBJs and front shocks (4600s), I'm still getting a lot of dive and an audible...

Sorry I don't have any better pictures, but I'm running the Bilstein 5100s on the 2.5" lift notch and no lift in rear. It's nose high, but when measuring the differences, it's only a ~1/2" difference between front and rear.

Sounds like they got lazy with the 4th Gen SAWs and didn't tune it right, as that should be the only reason for a bad ride short of fade. Don't like the ride? Get them tuned, which is why I'd still recommend a King/SAW/Fox/Radflo over anything else if able to come up with the scratch. If you...

I'm a little baffled by this response. SAW has been on par with Fox and King for a pretty long time in the desert scene, when comparing similar shocks. You cant compare a Toytec coilover to a Camburg/SAW, it's not even close, the SAW is better in every way. What was wrong with your SAWs?

I bought both my Audi and my 4Runner cross country and drove them both back. The process is pretty straightforward. For an inspection, check out carchex.com, I did this with the Audi and the report was totally worth the fee. Both times I bought one-way tickets, mostly because both were...

I'd suggest not stacking lifts. Besides the absolutely terrible ride you'll endure because of the total lack of suspension travel, your lower balljoints won't last long and the alignment will be totally out of whack. Go with a body lift or save your pennies for spindles, not what you want to...

I had something similar in my Tacoma, which had the Securikey+ aftermarket system installed that alot of Texas-region trucks seem to get. I never did figure out what that button did, though I did set off the alarm more than a few times while fiddling with it.

Everybody in Cali has tinted windows. They really won't hassle you unless they pull you over for something else. If pulled over, just roll down the fronts. Seriously, don't sweat it.
