    FS: Part out 1999 5VZ FE TOYOTA TACOMA 4X4 5 speed.

    Is the tranny still available? How many miles are on it? I don't really need the transfer case if it makes it any cheaper to ship. Thanks!

    Post if you have a 4x4, 5spd, diff lock.

    98, 5 speed, sunroof, all power. Now has the factory e-locker. I had rear bearings/axle seals go out and I found a whole rear-end (brake shoes to brake shoes) with the e-locker for $450. 236,000 miles. Traded a 2001 F-250 that I paid $1000 for straight across for it at my local Toyota dealer!

    Anyone mount a solar panel to roof rack?

    "Remember - running in parallel gives you the same amount of voltage or "pressure" which in this case is 12 volts DC but a longer discharge time. Running in series will give you twice the power but the same discharge time." Don't put them in series. Running them in series will give you 24...

    squeaky charcoal canister

    Don't know about the turkey call, but the antenna is an easy fix. IIRC it's about $40 at the dealer and shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to fix. You pull the old one out and feed the new one in. Again, IIRC, you have to take the nut on top of the antenna mount off to get the old one out...

    Cruise Control 1996 Limited

    Sometimes mine won't engage too, but mine is the fact that the clutch pedal spring is a little weak. If I put my foot under the clutch pedal and pull up, it works fine. Mine is an SR5. I'd bet your Limited has an auto so no clutch pedal!
