I did my steering rack bushings a while back and forgot to lock the steering wheel and when I was finished the steering wheel was off center about an inch and a half to the left. When I asked the mechanic about it he said " did you forget to lock the steering wheel? Ha!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there was no rear diff-lock available after 1999. Is this the center diff you're talking about?

You can pull the antenna relay. That should cut power to the antenna. It's under the dash.

Front end looks a little wonky to me too. Funny there's no mention of it in the ad. Buyer beware on this one.

I started wrenching when I was a teenager back in 1981. Everyone one of my siblings had a Volkswagen beetle or two except for my father who was a die-hard "American car" only guy. (WW2 navy man he was) I loved tinkering with my 1972 super beetle and then a1960 36hp beetle which I regret selling...

I don't think $4200 is out of line. They're asking more than that for rusty s**t buckets out this way all day long. With mid 200Ks or more. Good luck Streetcreeper, your posts are ALWAYS entertaining!

That seems crazy and impossible. Maybe you didn't have the dipstick in all the way?!

While the fob you have pictured has the right FCC number, the right fob doesn't have the panic button in back and the two front buttons are not lock and unlock. The right fob should have only two buttons on the front and neither one of them have anything printed on them just like Street creepers...

If you search energy suspension or whiteline, those are two good brands that come with the bushings only and no hardware. Or you can order OEM from toyotapartsdeal.com or somewhere online cheap. I bought some energy suspension bushings recently for the rear shocks and they were $11.99 plus$6.99...

I'm seeing the upper and lower bushings in the picture. those two bigger bushings in the upper part of the picture are for the bottom I believe. Everything else is for the upper shock.

Sounds about right. I'm guessing you have a 3rd gen 4Runner? Worn Starter contacts work intermittently and eventually it won't start at all.

It might even have dual engines for that extra oomph when you need it.

Eagerly awaiting some pictures!

Talk about your unicorns!

Found this ad for a 96 4Runner with a dual transmission! What the hell is a dual transmission? Price is right though! Any thoughts? Hope this link works. 1996 Toyota 4Runner | eBay
