Rotate tires and see if noise changes?

I'll be just fine with my 500,000 mile OBS PowerStroke. =) And a part of me would love to keep the lude. But I have 3 primary parking spots in my driveway and 4 vehicles. And I could use the money. This year hasn't been good for anything. Everyone dying, extra money going out and less ability...

I don't have the love for it anymore for starters, and I need the driveway space. My truck, however, isn't going anywhere. And its faster than the prelude. haha

I got a 4th gen. And yeah, 5 speed. It was never as fun as my 93 SHO though.

ATF is .. the weirdest thing. You either manage it regularly, or dont. You can't mix and match. However, essentially what you're doing on the 50k interval partial swaps is getting the proper detergents and additives back up to snuff. I really have no idea how, but it feels like ATF never...

Yeah, it will make natural rubber swell. There are a few synthetics that it will mess with. But stuff like door and window seals are safe. I've kept a lot of original seals on my truck going for all these years with fluid film. Same thing on my prelude. Just unstuck a chainfall I picked up...

Fluid Film is Lanolin. It's naturally water resistant, naturally a lubricant, naturally a bunch of things. It also naturally eats rust for some reason. It's great for breaking up rusty tools. Just let it soak and wiggle. I tried to teach that farm testing channel guy, but he just "i read the...

I mean, yeah. it works. But I'd be quite okay with getting rid of both of my cell phones. I treat USB drives like we used to treat cassettes or cd's. I got 2 or 3, and depending on my mood, thats whats on the drive. The other issue with carplay stuff is.. Well, its a lot harder to look at your...

You can order it by the 55 gallon drum, and you can run it out of a paint sprayer and other tools of the like. So, undercoating with it is quite easy actually.

I have decided that this thread has made me upset. I went and remembered to check mine yesterday or the day before and.. I no longer have the OEM blades. I got the toyota branded ones. =(

They get a bit pissy when you get north of bay city. State cops anyways. This thread was a fun read. A few similar complaints that I have. One especially being the climate controls, They are just... so not well thought out. When I grabbed the 2017, I was hoping for the controls like my...

I ran cooper discoverer atr/atp's for years. I don't think I've ever seen a 4runner with coopers on it. Any reason? My only thought I guess off the top of my head is the load rating on them is just overkill?

Hal effect sensors are... Weird. It is possible the sensor is bad. It's more likely you have a plug issue. I'd do 2 things. Pull the sensor and inspect the end for any damage. It looks like the end of the 4runner ones are metal, so you'll see any scraping/rubbing. And then double check the...

Talking to another 4runner friend. He says 21-22 locked in at 55 on cruise. I must be stuck in the 90's on how they measured this stuff still. I didn't think to use my brain to realize its measured around 70mph, not 55 anymore.

I used to be a dealer for FF.
