    Can you "spot" a pink milkshake tranny on the dipstick?

    Going to check out a '99 4Runner LTD with 190k on the odometer tonight. So far it looks good. Frame and body are rust free and solid (that's worth like a million bucks here in Michigan!). Decent maintenance records. Owner just replaced the ignition coils. New Tires. Interior clean. Etc... I've...

    190,000 miles on original timing belt? What are the odds?

    Checking out a rust free 1999 4Runner LTD with 190,000 miles on it. I’ve been unable to find any proof of the timing belt being replaced...owner hasn’t done it and CarFax doesn’t show any timing belt / water pump replacement. What are the odds of this being the original belt? I got a quote...

    Cold weather = crappy mileage!!!

    She's kept in a heated garage, so no warning up. Survival gear kept in the back is the same year 'round do no change there. Run same tires year 'round as well. Change to winter gas is my best guess but again, never have noticed a big drop with any other vehicle - and we've lived in Alaska for...

    Cold weather = crappy mileage!!!

    2010 SR5. Love it. A month ago was averaging 17-18mpg. Temps have fallen fm upper 40s to low-mid 30s now, and mileage is now around 14-15mpg. Exact same driving, speeds, distance, etc. Anyone else have this problem? I've never seen it in my other vehicles. Thanks!

    2012 Wrangler...IT'S OFFICIAL!

    I'm just glad to see the stronger engine and better auto tranny. I just traded in my 2010 JK Unlimited for a 2010 4Runner (Certified Pre-Owned). The "minivan" engine in the JKU was PATHETIC, and so was the auto transmission. Basically, the combination SUCKED something awful and I'm glad to be...

    Greetings from Alaska!

    Just picked up a 2010 CPO 4R. Absolutely love it!!! It's replacing a pathetically powered and shifting 2010 Jeep JKU. Spicy
