I have a similar problem with my 99 Limited. I worked the rubber boots off and found multiple broken wires in the loom. Is it possible to replace the whole wiring loom? I can't seem to get anywhere with my local Toyota dealer here in Victoria BC.

Roof racks I've done the exact same thing as in the picture. Q clips for the front bar when I need more length than the factory channels give me. I use Landing Pads for everyday use. I popped the end caps off the factory rail channels, slid the factory rail feet out and the Yakima Landing Pad...

My 10 ply experiences I run Cooper Discoverer AT3 265/70/16 E tires on my 99 Limited. Pressure set at 40psi all around. I carry about 200lbs recover "uh oh" gear in the back all winter. My experience is positive, only drawbacks are the heavier overall weight, which I notice with braking and the...

Yesterday was an install of new headlamp units, both sides, and GE Nighthawk platinum bulbs. I chose these over going to HID units as I ran these same bulbs on my 1996 Tacoma and really liked them for light output and cost/benefit ratio. While it was living at its prior owner's house the...

Unless you live somewhere you never see temperatures around freezing, winter tires are worth the investment. The cost of an accident, due to losing traction or control, far outweighs the cost of another set of tires and rims. Plus, your all season tires will last that much longer, not being used...
