    did you end up finding a solution for this? I have a leak in the same spot, unsure if I have to replace the whole rack or not. thanks

    The 3rd Gen All Questions Allowed Thread

    Does anyone know if I will lose my DRL functionality if I upgrade to a negative-switched relay harness? I can't find any headlight relay harnesses that advertise as being positive switched or otherwise compatible with DRL. I feel like there must be other Canadians who have gone through this...

    Drop-in headlight upgrade?

    Quick current update on the TYC headlights - I got a pair last summer off Rock Auto, easy swap but the drivers side glare cap was bent out of position like others have stated. Pretty easy to bend it back but a bit annoying. The new housings definitely make a difference compared to my original 99...

    I just swapped both my rear axle shafts in order to replace those pesky drum brake backing plates, which were rusted out on my rig. Easier to replace the whole shafts than it is to press the bearings and everything out. I don't know of any specific year compatibility issues, but obviously the...

    Interior B.C. here - also super hot and super cold. Anything 5w30 full synthetic should be great! nothing too complicated here, don't overthink it. For diff fluid, 75w90 or 80w90, full synthetic if you can get it. GL-5 hypoid gear oil. Lucas is a great brand for it. I just did my rear...

    5VZ-FE Replacement Sourcing

    well if it makes you feel any better, I can commiserate. Last summer was visiting family across the country and got a bad misfire and white smoke out the tailpipe. had to get back out west to return to work so I didn't have much of a choice but to bring it to the only shop I could find locally...

    Surface Rust

    by my (Ontario) standards that thing is MINT. get it rustproofed, fluid film, POR15, cosmoline... whatever you can to preserve it. should have loads of life left.

    02 2Runner and 98 4x4 and both need susp work, looking for suggestions

    Kind of depends on what you mean by extra clearance. If you want to lift by an inch or more, you probably wanna go with the classic 5100/OME package which takes up your entire budget. However if you're running original shocks and springs, even an OEM replacement or aftermarket "equivalent"...

    I am pretty familiar with the typical lift suggestions, and OEM stuff tends to be super expensive in Canada so I was hoping to find an aftermarket solution that is a replacement for OEM in terms of ride height and fitment etc. Just looking for recommendations from people who have used Moog...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    My valve covers leak a tiny bit. There is some sludge around the gaskets but I'm not losing or dripping oil at a noticeable rate. I tightened some of the valve cover bolts about a quarter turn, they were surprisingly loose. I will do the valve covers eventually, but it doesnt seem to be an...

    Anyone have any recommendations for replacement front struts/springs? Ideally looking for something to match the "99 tall" ride height, pre-assembled. I have found options from Monroe, Moog, FCS etc. but not sure if they're the right height or a good replacement

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Chasing a misfire in Cylinder 6. Really hoping its not the injector... But so far I have tried swapping the plugs and coils, cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body (which were surprisingly clean, actually). Gonna test continuity in the plug lead just in case, although I replaced the plugs and...

    Another bilstein 4600 thread - road use

    previous owner had installed 4600s on my 99 Limited, but somehow didnt put a bushing between the rear shock eye and the axle. So there was a weird clunk caused by the shock, although it wasn't really the shocks fault. Other than that, they were great. I just put KYB Gas A Justs on mine and its a...
