    New calipers - Piston boots not seated

    Hey guys, Rookie "mechanic" here attempting his first brake job... Both of the calipers I received from NAPA had a boot that needs to be reseated. Would you guys take these calipers back to NAPA or go through the trouble of reseating the boot? Is this a common thing? If I ordered from a...

    Transfer Case Fill/Drain - Crush Washer vs Flat Washer

    Probably a dumb question but I am going to ask it anyway... I took my truck in to have the fluids changed (front/rear diff, transfer case, transmission, etc). I provided OEM gaskets/washers for the fill/drain plugs. When I got home and did an inventory of what I had left I noticed that the...

    Help - Broke one of the studs on the upper plenum where the throttle body attaches

    Thank you so much for your help. As you said, it was threaded to the plenum so I was able to pop it out. (Thanks for the part # as well)

    Help a rookie out - what are my options for fixing this? I hope I don't have to buy a whole new upper plenum..

    Are end links worth buying OEM?

    OEM is like $70 a pop compared to $20-$40 for an after market link. Would I be content with a cheaper one or is it worth the extra money?

    Ride Quality: BFG KO2s (E) vs GG AT2s (P)

    I hate to hear that. The KO2s are my favorite looking AT tire.

    Ride Quality: BFG KO2s (E) vs GG AT2s (P)

    How big of a difference will I notice in ride quality from an E rated tire to a P rated tire if the tire is stock size (265/70/16)? I spend most of my time on the highway, so I want the most comfortable ride possible....but I also want an aggressive looking tread because it looks cool.

    Any cons with steel rims for a daily driver?

    I currently have 33x12.50x18 tires on my 4Runner. I want to go back to a stock 265/70/16 passenger tire because I travel a good distance to work. Being that I am most concerned with comfort and better acceleration for highway travel, would you suggest a lighter wheel? Or will the weight of the...

    Long term effects of tires being out of caster alignment?

    Toe and camber are fine, but the mechanic couldn't adjust the caster because the cam bolts/washers were seized. Getting those bolts out doesn't sound like a fun project (or a cheap one if I have someone else do it). How will my tires being out of caster alignment affect the longevity of my...

    Will I be able to clear my tires?

    Ah ok. Maybe someone can eyeball it and tell? http://imgur.com/a/7iiFY]Imgur Regardless, I need to get new shocks/springs and sway bar endlinks/bushings in before it gets cold. So if no one knows if those tires will fit, I'll probably order new wheels/tires.

    Will I be able to clear my tires?

    http://i.imgur.com/r5FWCO5.jpg It has come time to replace the shocks/springs. My 4Runner came with the tires and lift already installed, so as far as what is currently on there - I have no clue. I will eventually put on smaller tires since I am driving further to work than I was a few months...
