Dont forget age and location in your variables. In the northeast a lot of the 100s will be showing its age via rust, so now your prices are creeping on for southern or western cars and then increasing again for shipping. A local 200 from a major metropolitan area (NY/Philly) might now be more...

In my search for Gen 3s locally i seem to always be able to find some with "bad motor" in the craigslist add. From my research it looks like the #1 cause is failed TB #2 overheating #3 but rarely a spun bearing. So what is the most likely cause of a timing failure on these engines? Toyotas...

Does anyone know if the motor is the same part number all the way through gen 3 production? If so, i might consider getting the motor before i even get the vehicle hunt started in earnest so i can have the luxury of time calling around and finding someone. In the Philadelphia/NY area there...

this is the question. Has anyone doe it and where did they have it rebuilt. Im a previous life i worked in the HVAC industry and i cant say any of the motor rebuild shops that i used would touch this. As is life, people like to work on things that they can simply look in a book, find a part...

funny you should mention that, the one im trying to talk to the guy about IS an 03 and its failed. Unless its the accumulator that failed in which case its even easier but i dont think he wouldve just thrown in the towel since thats WAY cheaper to have fixed. I havent been able to speak with...

Ive been researching Gen 3s for months and have always told myself as soon as i bought one this would be the absolute first thing to do no matter the miles to have the piece of mind it wouldn't fail 8hrs away on a vacation driving on the beach with my family or god forbid the highway. Fast...

Thermodynamics are not my strong suit but aren't those two very closely related? Once the thermostat opens at its designated temp, the air movement through the rad and into the engine bay is what is removing that heat from the engine via the coolant until below that thermostat open temp. So i...

i was thinking that if i was doing timing belt its not too much more effort at that point to just take the heads off to do the valve seals. Ive seen the tutorials of how to do it with the head on but at that point of tear down replacing some gaskets and head bolts would be worth it to just to...

So my mother and I are splitting the cost of a vehicle for two vastly different reasons. She wants a 7 seater to leave at our house and be her nanny mobile when she watches my two kids 2 days a week. I want something that brick reliable, will be our weekend Beach vehicle (Drive on remote), and...

great under body shots of the slider mounts to help with pre purchase planning. Thanks

the limiteds having fog lights is a great tell. most 2nd or third owners at this point might not know there was a difference and 90% are just listed as montero.

I guess i was hoping for a more visual tell, like different cladding or something. Most Craigslist pictures are too far to read the badging and they rarely have gear shift pictures or gauge pictures wide enough to see the gear selector range. Most do have interior images though so cloth is a...

So i blame Mitsubishi for their confusing naming convention and product planning but here goes. 01-03 XLS vs Limited XLS has 4 spd, Limited has 5 speed. What are the actual transmission names? I see Aisin is the manufacturer but cant find the model names for either? Ive seen AW3 which...

great stuff but my parents arent looking for anything fancy, just a used pop up under 3k hopefully. They just want something to crash in for a retirement cross country trip with the dog.

Yeah i guess there definition includes a tiny shower

Im not a slide in person (doesnt exactly work with a tj ) But my parents are starting to look for one and wanted to know if there are any that had bathroom? Its going on a 99 dodge extended cab extended bed so length shouldnt be an issue.

very rare to find a 1/4 ton trailer on GovLiquidation

now you just need to put a hitch on the back of it to tow both trailers with two tents! Itll be like your own little city

in the process of this right now, when everything goes through i will detail what processes i had to use

like above, just brought the original bulbs to autozone and got 12v ones. as for the wiring i got a $5 4prong plug from autozone while i was there and some bullet connectors and just plugged then in the appropriate female end. Check my previously started threads and there is a wiring diagram...
