    After reading a few complaints about seat height (not a problem for me but I do like the adjustability in my wife's camry), how easy would it be to swap in a set of power seats from a 4runner? I believe those have a similar seat height adjustment as the camry and while it's not much it is nice to be able to adjust the angle of the seat bottom. I know a lot of people would swap seats from an explorer into their ranger for this very reason, don't see why it couldn't work here too. Has anyone done this?

    Yep, its a goner.

    Got a nice big flat the other day, now I finally get new tires! The whole weight was stuck in my tire, just the tip was sticking out!

    I used Meguiar’s Super Degreaser, diluted 4:1 with tap water, in a spray container I bought at Lowes. I liberally spayed it on the [cold] engine, let it sit for a couple of minutes, and then repeated (not letting the degreaser dry). Once all the grease was breaking down, I just washed it off with low water pressure--the degreaser is water soluble--there's no need for high water pressure. I used a leaf blower to remove most of the water, and a microfiber for the rest. I then ran the engine until it was hot enough to evaporate any remaining water, and I was done.

    I bought the degreaser directly from Meguiar’s for $17/gallon (shipped). http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/category/professional-detailer/cleaners-degreasers

    The sprayer was $15.

    I tried the degreaser on my tires, and it cleaned them faster than anything else I’ve used; sprayed them, scrubbed with a brush, rinsed, repeated, and I was done.

    It took 1/2 gallon to clean the engine, and the tires.

    I got through this one and read everything else I could dig up. Should there be concern on drive
    Shaft angles?
