Well, it's about that time for me...is this tool still floating around? Or am I the tool for asking after so long?

Well, it’s a great color! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The gauges and vac pump is also part of the loaner tool programs at most auto parts stores if you don’t feel like building up your collection. It’s actually very easy to do. If all you’re doing is replacing the drier, be sure to use plain old r134 cans and not the ones mixed with oil or any...

My Evap was being a stubborn bastard on my 98 VW of course just in time for smog. Passed with no problem, though. One tip for Evap readiness which is probably the same for our runners as my vw: the Evap readiness won’t even run if you aren’t between 1/4 and 3/4 tank. Sent from my iPhone...

‘98 5spd 4x4 Purchased in ‘17 with 175k Now 207k Nothing but regular maintenance except replacing the reverse switch on tranny when it started shorting/blowing a fuse. Figured 200k was broken in enough to add an SC, so at 206k I got a gen1 TRD and “while I was in there”: - timing belt -...

I can’t be 100% because after the last aftermarket mast broke with only a few months use, I just said screw it and put in a whip. I think that would’ve bothered me quite a bit, so I want to say it went down when I chose “source off”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just drove from SoCal to Western NC. 2410 miles 121.5g 19.83mpg ‘98 3.4 Manual 4wd 202k when I left 192-195 psi all cyl last Feb I had expected 22ish, as that’s what I’ve gotten on several 400 mile runs with a cargo box on top and 150lbs or so of gear, but I don’t use the AC much and spend...

The plastic finally broke on my mast and I got a well reviewed replacement on amazon (instead of the cheapest one). Didn’t have too much trouble replacing it. It worked just fine, but only lasted a year and a half before the plastic broke again. I ended up pulling it out and putting in a Metra...

Wait, my bad, stumbled into the 4th gen group. I’ll see myself out. You guys have fun with your fancy future trucks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got up to 70mph on the 10 Freeway in the heart of Los Angeles at 6pm for quite a stretch. I could get used to this everybody staying home stuff. I think I’m just going to drive around LA doing wild and crazy things for the next few weeks like getting from one point to another in a reasonable...

The seat is a bit oddly worn for 50ish k. Maybe they used it ever day for 20 years but only went to the mailbox and back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I put in some odyssey window squirters after being less than thrilled with the RAV4 ones. 3 piss streams was marginally better than 2, but still comically bad. This was easily one of the best 2 minute mods out there!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If they’re 17s like most, they’ll mount right up, clear the brakes, and with your lift, I’m sure they’ll clear the body just fine. The usual 265/70r17 is just a tad larger diameter than stock 16s, so speedo will indicate about 2mph lower than actual speed @ 65. Much less at lower speeds so not a...

I figure they just take boatloads of cores, blast them and slap them together and if some generations weren’t machined, this is what happens. But if that’s the wrong half (it honestly doesn’t look wrong) I’d obviously rather not find out by having it spew out brake fluid in a panic stop! Sent...
