I'm looking at them now, 9 month lead time :o . would you mind summarizing your conclusions about "why them"? I've been out of it for a long time and not following along who, what, why, etc.

Can you tell me where you purchased your JDMs from? This is such a nightmare, now my 1999 just got rejected for frame rust.

Do people here have a preferred vender? So far, just a quick look JDMNewYork says they have 5 available for 2999.00: 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 Toyota 4Runner 3.4L V6 Engine JDM 5 – JDM New York

"Let’s just say we were use the old heads and get them cut and checked out, if in two months afterwards, it drops a valve I can’t stand behind. ... it’s kind of a bad situation one way or the other the reman heads that I could warranty are more expensive than I would want to pay We could tear...

It seems to get the job done "right" by a pro you'd either get a new motor or do both sides, both heads pressure-tested, etc, and it would be many thousands ($4500+ for bare minimum), any way you cut it. The way it's been described to me is the only way it'd be worth the money is if you did the...

Aaaaaaand it failed again. Mechanic said the only thing I haven't replaced is the Axle and maybe that's what's causing it to fail only 3 and a half years after having a top-notch pro do it for me? Any ideas of why this seems to never last more than a few years? I promise I'm not beating on...

11 years later and this is still helping people! Thanks.

Just picked this up in Alexandria VA for 7500. Frame is nearly perfect.

Thanks to reading this thread I was able to avoid some of the hassles other suffered. I had to soak the right one repeatedly with CRC Freeze-Off for about 5 days: Since I'm replacing ancient plates I bent the old plate's edge back with a hook to create a little well which I could dump the...

I ordered these according to your spec: https://www.homedepot.com/p/M6-1-0-x-10-mm-Grade-A2-70-Stainless-Steel-Metric-Pan-Head-Phillips-Drive-Machine-Screws-10-Pack-9131544/310351607 They just test-fitted fine. I'll put anti-seize on them when I finally install my new plates. To remove the...

anyone have any idea how I can source these stainless nuts from the comfort of my couch?

My left side seal failed a month after my 4th anniversary. The drum was so locked I couldn't get it off or even drive the car, so I took it to Merv's Auto in Lorton, VA. I still had the left-over, single pair of brake shoes from the last failure, so they used that and did the the single-side...
