There was a recent post about this again, however we had a slightly different problem where if you didn't quickly move the flasher lever all the way, it would sometimes buzz. I have this issue, and it's very likely the relay becoming worn. It can also cause some soot on the contacts which...

It's also one of the most expensive AT tires at the moment. If you want a cheaper, yet still quality tire, look at the Duratrac. I got my 33's for $950CDN OTD when on sale at CDN Tire. Pretty much no tire, good or bad, is priced like that. I've been pretty happy with them so far. Way...

Mine is the same way sometimes. For the price of the relay, I decided to live with it.

Without doing any research myself, just be aware of "fake" toyota parts. Seems to be a common thing these days. They can be pretty good replicas with packaging and all. Typically, from what I've seen locally (not near as remote as the Yukon) is Toyota dealerships in Canada charge 3x what the...

If you've ever used a scan gauge or ultra guage, you'll see that any more throttle than slightly cracked produces poor mileage. Those who say accelerate as if there is an egg under the pedal are incorrect. Get up to speed with moderate acceleration, then use as little as you can to maintain...

Yes, the E will feel stiffer than your C's, and yes, the larger tire will feel more sluggish no matter C or E (worse with E). Your mileage will decrease 1-2MPG. I have E 285/16 Duratracs and pretty happy with them. I haven't had C rated tires to compare though. '98, 5Speed, 3.4, 33's, 17ish...

I find them quite firm. Much more firm than the green Tokico's that have been discontinued. I much preferred the green Tokico's over OEM 80's. The black OEM's match the firm Tundra Billy's up front with the Tundra springs.

I added one to my sprinter van for a DBS. Works great. Functions as it should. I also use a Bluesea LVD on it so I can't drain it too much. Bluesea products are top notch. All of them. I base all my installs using their product.

I'd question panhard bar/mount/bushings.

Usually the spring seat has a shape to account for the bottom coil. The spring should fit into the recessed part if the spring is not flat on the bottom. Pictures would be helpful.

Canadian vehicles tend to have lower miles and also seem to last not quite as long. Our salt and cold weather takes a toll on the vehicles. What you guys consider normal mileage is considered higher in Canada. That said, I did see a 160,000KM 4-runner posted for 6500$ the other day. I wish I...

Depends on operation, but I have had a set of Treadwrights Guard dogs and I wouldn't do it again. Especially because I think they have gone up in price. Horrible to balance, had an issue with one making an odd, and very unnerving noise (flap flap flap... (yea.. not THAT)), and all 4 dry...

On the 3rd gen, the REAR driveshaft on all 4x4's have a DC joint on the TC side.

210,000ish miles. 335,000ish KM. Daily driven. A few issues, nothing major and has given me no reason to not trust it.

It's always greener on the other side... Up in Canada they are pretty common. Anything up to 15 years old and often sell for much less than the LHD / gas jobs due to being right hand. Also, as sad as it is, even with lower KM, they all seem to be needing a lot of repair, or recently having...
