I was looking at the oil filter and the pan under it and thinking
"That's gonna make a mess."  So, I found a heavy-duty plastic bag and
made sure it had no leaks.  I let the truck cool some to avoid melting
the bag, and put it under the filter with the opening spread wide.  To

Hi all I have a 1990 4-runner 4wd with 235,000 miles. I have had this
thing for 2 years and in that two years TWO separate dealerships one
in Michigan (Spartan Toyota) and one in Tennessee (Capital Toyota)
have both wreck my truck. They both had to pay for the repairs. Just

I'd like to replace my stock tires with something set up better for snow and off road, but without sacraficing much on road drivability.
I have an 03 Limited Access Cab, with 17 inch wheels and wouldn't mind something a little taller than the 265/65/17 that came on the truck.
Any ...

Any ideas on where to buy a new driver's side mirror for a 2001
Sequoia? (other than the dealer, that is) Also, where do I find
instructions on replacing it? Thanks.

Anyone have any first-hand experience (owning, living with and/or
installing) with either Xtang (soft) tonneau covers, or the Trac
Top/Jackrabbit hard covers from Pace Edwards?
I'm tempted by the cheaper, soft covers, only because it's what I see on 99%

Greetings All,
I have 2001 S-Runner.  The stock brakes really suck!  I've searched the
newsgroup and couldn't find any threads about brake upgrades for the Tacoma.
I'm sure this topic has popped up many times before so please accept my

Thinking about installing a TRD exhaust on a 96 V6 4X4 Ext cab. Maybe the
headers also. Do these fit without any modifications? Has anyone put both
these on? Thanks...

I have been a Yota man for a long time. All the 5 vehicles that I currently
own are all Toyota. I need to get a SUV for my wife and I am debating
between a 97 Toyota 4Runner and a 99 Isuzu Rodeo.
The 99 Rodeo is a 4x4, automatic 3.2l.  The 97 4Runner is a 2W drive 2.7L

Hello, all.  I'm hoping someone can help me out, and perhaps save me the
trip to the mechanic's.
Over the past couple of days, the brake warning light and the alternator
warning light turn on simultaniously.  They'll remain on, sometimes steady,

Suddenly I've been getting numerous false alarms from the OEM alarm system
on my '98 4Runner.  Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity?  Has anyone
else dealt with this in the past?
Of course this mostly happens in the middle of the night or when I park near

I'm looking to replace the stock 17" Bridgestones that came with my
'03 Tundra.  I'm looking for offroad tires that still perform
reasonably well onroad.  I'm looking at the Bridestone Dueler A/T
REVO's.. anyone own these?  You guys have any other tire suggestions?

Anybody got any pics of them?

My new V6 2003 4runner has a minor oil leak at the driver's side valve
cover, where the oil fill tube extension meets the valve cover.  I've
checked the two flange nuts for tightness and they are snug (I don't want to
break anything by overtorquing).  It appears to be a metal to ...

I read in a Tundra FAQ that you should NOT run 4WD on dry pavement (w/
zero slippage).  The Toyota manual talks about running the 4WD about
10 miles a month to keep the front lubricated, however, the manual
mentions nothing about this restriction.  Does anyone here run 4WD on

I have a 2003 Tundra with 1200 miles on it, and the tires won't seem
to balance.  I took it back and had the dealer balance them, but when
I hit a smooth stretch of new highway at 60mph+, I still have a
noticeable shake.  It's got the 16" Dunlops.  A friend also has a
