Hello, I just had a tune-up which included oil change, plugs/wires, air/fuel filters, timing belt, PCV valve, o2 sensors, etc. All of the parts were from eBay. The timing belt claimed to be OEM (and it was packaged in Toyota packaging) but I had a friend who works at Toyota install it for me...

Suggestions for steering racks? RockAuto has 8 options. One says 4WD (mine is not) and one says filter not included. Some say inner tie rods included, some do not. One says without outer tie rod ends. If one says complete, should I just assume that all these components are included? Prices...

What are the options to upgrade the rear differential on a 2wd?

Rear diff upgrade options for 2wd? I have heard of lockers, as well as LSD. What's the difference and which one do I want? Suggestions? Thanks.

Can I get away with getting non-painted/primered if my truck is already black? This is already pretty expensive and another $100 is gonna hurt more. My truck didn't come with the factory spoiler... :(

Every time they delay it it's another 2 weeks or so. It is stressing me out because I haven't had the vehicle for over 2 months now and now that the weather is getting nicer I want to drive it more :(

My 4runner is at the body shop and I requested to see if they could get a sport hood for me. They said yes, but it has been already been delayed 2 or 3 times and I'm going 2 months without my truck (thankfully I have another car). But this is getting insane. So I called to ask if they could...
