Just tell him to google "Subaru Head Gasket".

Update on my situation. Water is getting in from the Windshield frame area now and my windshield has 2 cracks in it. I'm at a point where I'm trying to spend the least amount of money I can on my rig (cancer is slowly killing it, so my point is just to keep it running as best as I can until I'm...

I'd say the same here. I change the oil once every fall (so, every 3K miles, lol). I just use the Mobil Super High Mileage 5W30. I'll try and remember this thread in a few months when I do my annual oil change. I'll post a pic of the draining color.

My rig's previous owner is the one that put the lift on and slapped 285/75R16's on it (with spacers). I don't think the lift is a full 3", probably closer to 2.5". (as pictured in my avatar) I bought it like that, but the tires were utter crap at this point (old, dry treadwrights). For him...

Finally got a spare mounted under the truck. When I bought the 4Runner, it had a matching 285/75r16 spare, but it wasn’t mounted (because it didn't fit in the stock location). So I actually never carried it with me. I’ve since downsized my tires to 265/75r16 (ETS Trail Master M/T) and found a...

I installed a digital VoltMeter, just like this one. Fits perfect.

Last 2 sets of pads I put on my Matrix have been Akebono. For an aftermarket brand, I can't say enough good things about them. Dust is very minimal and they've performed excellently. They don't wear fast either. When I changed them on the Matrix, they still had about 40% on them after 3 years...

Lil’ morning dew. First pic with new potato (iPhone8 “dramatic” filter).

You don't, but it always helps. At the least, just crank the steering in the direction that gives you the most access.

FYI, that's a Limited, not an SR5. If it says SR5 on the liftgate (can't tell from the pics), the liftgate's been replaced.

Previous owner of my 4Runner had 285/75R16 Treadwrights on it. He could never get them to balanced properly, but the T4R was his toy (not a commuter) so NFG. One was especially out of whack, and he contacted Treadwright about it, they sent him a replacement without wanting the defective one...

They are more expensive because of many factors. Shipping. Our Land is vast with many remote locations. It takes more resources to get the things where they need to go. Remember, the population of our entire country is less than the population of the State of California. Because of the same...

According to your sig, you're missing more than just the tool.... you're missing everything that was attached to it. lol. And if you are missing the crank for the spare tire, you're also missing the crank for the bottle jack.

Agreed with above. Typically, GM wheels do not fit because Center Bore is too small.

Yeah...but what's the fun in that? lol.
