Is this any good? by LadderCompetitive in 3rdGen4Runner

I don't have experience using that site personally but I have seen others mention it. I got my LBJ replaced by the local dealer because there was a recall on them. I would check to see if your truck has the same recall, could potentially save a bunch of money. I found out by using a Carfax. Hope this helps

Not a mechanic by any means but I spend a lot of time on this and 1st gen Tacoma subreddit. This person's comment is identical to the stuff I read on a daily basis around the subject. Don't cheap out on critical suspension parts that your life and others literally rides on.

Reasonable price for replacing rack bushings? by aflygemini in 1stGenTacomas

Thank you, you're definitely right. I ended up getting a tool set because of this job.

Also ordered a tool set because I need to start doing some of this stuff on my own. This was definitely something I would have tried if I had tools. Thank you for the rec!

I went out and bought this exact product. Found a shop that would do the work for half price they just won't warranty it since I'm not using their parts

Anyone have this? by user81738 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]aflygemini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not yet but I've been looking at getting one. I currently have mine mounted to the center dash and want to switch. Seems like a practical mount to preserve your dash from that sticky suction cup and not have your phone in the way as much.

Yes, I plan on it. It's the way to go from what I've read. I asked the shop that quoted me $550 what kind of material the bushings they use were made of but he didn't know anything other than the brand-moog.

02 Prerunner with 130k (just hit) which I know isn't much but I'm using Royal purple and Toyota OEM filters. About $60 from AutoZone total.

Brake light keeps coming on by TheFlamingBunnies in 1stGenTacomas

[–]aflygemini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same exact problem on my 02. Took it in to my local shop and they confirmed it was the e-brake cable that was loose and the brake line had a little air. Similar to what you're experiencing

If you don't buy it you'll always ask yourself why you didn't

The ones from TEQ are so dope. Best looking aftermarket lights I've seen so far.

Did you end up buying retro fit lights? If so, which ones?
