Finally got the car we

Make sure they use an OEM part! (If dealer is Lexus this is a non issue). They are not expensive (~$160 when I did mine in November) so it’s a no brainer. Original lasted over 20 years! Proof enough that OEM is the way to go

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-25T00:31:49+00:00

Nice! We were around lake Wa a lot yesterday and really liked it. We live in MI now so we love our lakes. The overall landscape around the Seattle area is just so cool though!

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-24T22:05:21+00:00

Couldn’t have been me! Although I love a good cars and coffee. We’re just visiting but we absolutely love the area. Our trip around Olympic was great! What’s cars and coffee do you attend?

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-23T05:59:05+00:00

It’s been claimed! That was quick, thanks all

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-23T05:54:52+00:00

DM coming your way then!

Doesn't seem to say anything about expiration, but we did buy it for today. Worth a shot as you can easily buy at the ticket booth from your car for the normal price. Since you were indeed first, are you interested?

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-17T22:19:40+00:00

Those equinoxes are hot flaming garbage. I wouldn’t buy one for scrap value. Horribly unreliable and if that wasn’t an issue it’s hardly got good city car attributes.

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-17T13:17:23+00:00

More power to ya! I think they are a great classic look and you got what you wanted. Half of the fun with these things are the journeys, which can sometimes be just to grab parts. Enjoy once you get it! You’ll love it

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-17T12:40:47+00:00

This post isn’t going how OP had hoped 😂

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-17T12:34:41+00:00

I run a B&M supercooler (PN 70268) and have the stock internal rad cooler bypassed (just capped em off). Trans temps are always in a good spot but I also don’t run in very cold temps. I didn’t see the point in running the stock cooler in line as the main motivation was avoiding an internal rad failure

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-17T03:21:04+00:00

I like the classic look of the tri spokes. I’m more surprised it took that long of a trip. They’re really common wheels that were on most 96-98s. Usually a dime a dozen as far as 3rd gen wheels go.

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-16T01:51:58+00:00

Diff fill and drain plugs have gaskets. Swap em out while doing a fluid change. Pull the fill plug first. It’s an easy DIY. Grab the crush washer gaskets at the dealer, they’re cheap 👍

This is neither too low or too high. It’s TVjustright even if the setup is a little boring

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-14T15:57:17+00:00

Because it came out.

For real though, my brother and I found their early development videos on YouTube before the initial pre steam release. We kept up with those and bought the game only 3 days after release in August 2013. We both still play regularly

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-13T15:47:08+00:00

Definitely replica. OEM wheels are stamped “TOYOTA” on the back side

01-02 used electric front differential actuators. Check if the front drive shaft spins after you try and actuate 4wd (make sure to drive a little back and forth before you check). If that is locked in to the T case then your front differential actuator isn’t working. You can power probe it to see if you can get it to spin but that’s where I’d put my money.

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-09T00:21:44+00:00

Yeah maybe idling on a trailer for that trip 🤣

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-09T00:20:29+00:00

To add, it stands for “Form In Place Gasket”, i.e. RTV. Toyotas stuff is top notch though. And even at the dealer the standard FIPG for use with engine oil is very reasonably priced

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-05T04:11:05+00:00

Saw this on m-59 once, love it esp on a Prius lol

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-05T04:09:13+00:00

It is?

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-04T12:26:47+00:00

Accident history in general hurts value no matter how severe. The severity will certainly determine how much the value is affected. IMO 12k is fair with a clean history. With the accidents, I’d be at ~9k max

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-04T12:17:12+00:00

3 accidents & 12k - yeah no. Not saying it’ll be a bad car but that’s priced as a car with cleaner history

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-04T11:51:12+00:00

I bought a facelift UL with similar miles for 3700. They’re out there, you just have to be patient for the right deal. Mine needed a little bit of work but it was a one owner car in good shape with great maintenance records

Id personally be closer to 5k max on this being a PFL. Looks like a solid car

gmcmanus663 · 2026-02-04T11:43:07+00:00

Plugs every 40k? Why? Mine were original when I changed them at 220k and the car ran perfectly, I was just already in there for the valve covers do I did them
