    Can anyone identify the cross member that the rack and pinion mounts to?

    I actually broke the weld on mine replacing the rack and pinion. I just stuck a 19mm, or whatever size it is, wrench up there, and ran the bolt down to spec. Actually made it easier to remove the front diff. I wouldn't waste my time rewelding it back on. Tighten it and run it.

    Changed out my vacuum hoses with silicon- pic

    Glad someone else brought this up from the dead. I'll be ordering some for my 89, 96, and my sister's 84. However, I did want to address something I saw in the thread. What is everyone's aversion to silicone heater and radiator hoses? I've been running these for years with zero issues, and...

    For me, the hardest part is figuring out how far to go, without going too far. I mean, when do you quit "upgrading"? :rofl::rofl:

    3RZ Runners Only

    Late to the party, but I'll throw my .02 in. Just picked up a bone stock 96, Imperial Jade, tan interior. 199k miles. 3rz, 5 speed, and it's 4wd. Exactly what I was looking for. Had all kinds of grand designs in my mind of big, heavy winch bumpers and 285s and a lift and a roof rack and and...

    After Market Blind Spot Detection

    I don't think lecturing certainty was anyone's intention. Personally, I stated my point of view, stated my experience with the topic of discussion, said I don't think its a necessary thing to have, and said I personally wouldn't pay for it. And multiple times said its my opinion. Not what I...

    After Market Blind Spot Detection

    As someone who drives more than 100k miles a year, I feel I can offer some insight on this. Whether you agree or not, is another story. I view BSM, cameras, and radar are effective TOOLS, that can HELP you accomplish your task, which is driving safely. I personally don't ever rely on things...

    After Market Blind Spot Detection

    Just curious why you think you need BSM? Do you have a physical disability so you can't turn your head? And I'm being totally serious.

    Well... I got rear ended today, but....

    First off, I'm sure this is going to sound mean and I don't mean it to come across that way, but you need to quit worrying about your vehicle, and start worrying about yourself. Your vehicle is replaceable. That may be hard for you to hear, but the most important thing is taking care of...

    Glad that you are for the most part okay. Now, the one thing I will tell you, is to DO NOT skip out on any medical. All of your bills will be covered in the end by the other person's insurance. So get any and all medical examinations you may need including CAT scans and MRIs Etc. A big payout...

    Shrockworks said if I get 20 people interested they will build a rear bumper

    Just saw this thread. I'm also interested, but price and design are needed before committing. I'm not going to blindly say yes to something I have never seen, or has no set price point yet.
