    You could get in touch with a custom alternator builder such as Singer. Someone like that should be able to help you get sorted out. http://singeralternators.com I have not purchased an alternator from him yet, but everything I read and seen about his work says that it is top notch. I have...

    R&R front CV axles on 2nd Gen 4Runner

    Replacing axles on a 2nd gen is way easier than it is on 3rd gens. 2nd gens have a flange on the differential that the half shafts bolt to. If you pop out two or three of the studs on the flange and replace them with bolts you can remove and replace the shaft without unbolting the upper...

    Coil on coilover snapped!

    This is the third or fourth time I've read of this happening to someone. IIRC, one guy ended up going with King springs and was really happy with them.

    3rd Gen seats

    I have the same problem. Im planning on a Mastercraft seat soon. I have found that the seats in Limiteds are slightly better than SR5's.

    Which lenses?

    I would go with a 17-40mm f4L and a 24-105mm f4L IS. These also use the same 77mm filter size which is great because filters ain't cheap!

    Would you make this trade?

    Exactly! My buddy has a '06 Mega Cab with the 5.9 and he never had a lick of trouble with it! Plus it got 24 or 25 mpg all day long on the highway. Last year he picked up a regular crew cab with the new 6.7 (I think its an '09) and he hates it. He cant even get 20 mpg with it, which sucks...
