    Master cylinder vacuum line

    Hello everyone, Is it possible that someone can post a picture of the vacuum line going to the master cylinder. I am trying to do a smoke test to see if I have any leaks. Already done so much work on this car and trying to get it back on the road but want to do certain tests first. Thanks

    Trying to find a bolt

    Hi, Does anyone happen to know what the name of this bolt is in the picture here. If you look at this video you will see the bolts on the cam cover. I searched all over looking for cam bolts, cam screws and cant find anything. I need to order some skid plate bolts and want to get these...

    What coolant to use?

    Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why to *not* use any other coolant beside toyotas. I have my 01 since June of 2001, I have never had a tuneup until about 4 years ago. I only knew basic info about cars, things that I learned from a friend who wrenches on commercial aircrafts and knows cars...

    3rd Gen Dorado Gold Picture Thread

    Okay, decided to take these pics today. I am still working on the 4runner, it will probably be back on the road sometime later this year as I only work on it on weekends. This is the after result. Still quite a bit more work to do.

    Your favorite tools for wrenching / tech tools for special applications

    Thanks a lot for posting some of the cool tools that you have. I also do have the harbor freight spring compressor but don't like it because it doesn't feel safe. Wanted to get another one but haven't had the chance to browse around. After I saw this thread I went ahead and ordered the spring...

    Installing rear lower control arms

    Appreciate this post guys. I am about to work on my rear suspension this weekend, had no idea that it had to stay on the ground to get the control arms off. As far as the upper and lower arms, which ones has replaceable bushings? I want to re-do all the bushings on the rear suspension. Thanks

    3rd Gen Dorado Gold Picture Thread

    Most of the pictures of the 3rd gen that I see posted are in Dorado Gold. Seems like it was the popular color at the time and we all got the same color.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Is this to keep the heat out or dampen the noise? I thought about doing something like this when I saw it advertised on a site for dampening noise.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Haven't driven mine in over a year as I have it sitting on jacks. Got tired of the rough ride that occurs when you have a car for a while. After learning what I needed to do from various friends that work on cars I took the car out of commission and decided to do all suspension work. Finally...
