    Storage Racks in SUV Prerunners

    Well had some time two weeks ago or so and headed to my buddy’s shop in Costa Mesa rosswoodworks.net and was going to make some drawers for the box I made. Matt didn’t like the box I made so he said leave it all here and pick it up in a week. This is what we got. Thicker ply wood box 3/4”...

    LT 4runner build

    I really think you will be stoked on the FGP stuff. i did the outboard shock relocation hoop on my kids 1997 with a custom length king 2.5 shock and it works great with toytech springs. If i get to take over my kids rig when or if he buys something else ill probably FGP link it for sure. I...

    Storage Racks in SUV Prerunners

    Im finishing up a wooden drawer box for my kids 4runner this weekend and it will have the tire on top of the box with d rings to ratchet strap it down and two decent sized drawers under it for tools, recovery equipment and other junk. Hopefully it turns out pretty good and stays together...

    Steve what size wheel / tire do you run on your 4runner? On my 3rd gen i was hoping to do something like you did keeping the back seat and still slamming a 35 in the trunk area some day. i have a 275 70 17 bfg ko2 AT in there now and seems there is room still for a bit bigger. Gregg

    Gen III LS 5.3L L59 options

    probably not a smog legal option. but also doing some more reading $650 for a cam is dumb it sounds like but i assume its because they need to recoup some of the CARB fees they spent getting that part number legal.

Ill probably never need the stuff again but every time i screw around with brakes i always think about or wish i had caps and plugs for the ends of my lines so they drip less and make less of...

    Mechanic liability / customer recourse

    problem is buying something comparable is $850+ a month even if i got top dollar for this truck to put as a down payment. Dropping truck off at the same mechanic to have him tell us / explain him self as to why the code came back after he said it was fixed and would not come back on. The story...

    Mechanic liability / customer recourse

    it has an FASS filter system and pump thingy but not the external lift pump, we did a new Fuel pressure relief valve, and we have done an injector job. we have spent more than the thing is probably worth at this point with this particular mechanic. you can drive for months daily driving until...

    Mechanic liability / customer recourse

    Easier said than done in this area, but yes. I will not ever use or recommend this place after this mess is figured out. They have decent reviews some good some bad. Bad reviews seem to be similar to the types of issues. I’m experiencing where they chase a problem. But the personal...

    Mechanic liability / customer recourse

    What kind of liability or customer recourse is there for a mechanic that has charged pretty good amounts of money to “fix” an intermittent CEL that keeps coming back even though though being told this last fix would fix it for sure. I’ve been chasing a P1093 code on my 2002 gmc sierra lb7 246k...
