    Does your windshield fog up on the inside? Smell sweet? Low on coolant?
    If not than probably plugged evaporator/airbox drain tube. When AC runs evaporator creates condensation and mud etc will make a nice plug in the tube and cause it to fill up with water. Try cleaning before ripping apart the heater core.

    Same here. Boss was a little pissed at me today for being sluggish.

    Anyways, posted this in the OC thread yesterday. Figured you guys would want to see too. Found it while running through Holcomb Valley

    What do you mean you found it? Owner wasn't there? Hack those sliders off for me and ship it to VA.

    Correct. Owner was gone. Looked like they dragged it off the road carelessly after busting it
    Don't think so. Looked like the knuckle got ripped off the rotor. If you look at the pic closely there are no studs to hold the wheel on

    LBJ might be fucked now though after they dragged it off the road like that

I used a warm weekend in March 2022 to finally install my brand new from old stock 2000 4Runner driver's seat. $800 directly from the factory in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
    Sorry to change the subject on here. Any one have a recommendation for an upholstery shop on the CO front range to restore a 2k4R seat to its former glory? It has the lumbar adjuster & the seat depth adjustment knob. I'd be thrilled to keep it in the $200-300 range.

    When you did 35s, any reason you didn't go with glass flares?

    Fiberglass companies suck ass mostly. But I like the look of stock fenders more. I cut the fenders to the point where clearance isn't an issue.

    That's not bad for an 03, my 06 Tundra is at 147K, I've put close to 15k in the last 9 months since I bought it.
