    2017-2018 Frontier - Smart alternator?

    Does the Frontier have a smart alternator? Looking at photos of the engine bay, it appears it doesn't. I'm considering getting one and will want to install my dual battery system. Just wondering if it will be simple or complicated :) Thanks!

    Wheel offset question

    Sorry to ask, but I am new to Jeep products. Just completing the purchase of a 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk. I need to get winter tires and rims. I found a used set locally off a Grand Cherokee that apparently fit a 2006 and up Grand Cherokee. The 17" tire size works, the bolt pattern works, I'm not...

    Cherokee Trailhawk

    I’m considering a 2015-2016 Trailhawk as my next vehicle. Wondering if anyone in this forum that has one could offer up their thoughts on it and what I should look for when I test drive. Appreciate any input. Thanks.

    LR3 Streeing Angle Sensor and dash lights?

    Yesterday my winter tires were installed and an alignment done. The tech said my steering wheel seemed a bit off, like part of the shaft might be sticking. On a straight stretch, the wheel wasn't centre. On my way home, all the dash lights, flashers, trans shows "E", etc happened. Kept driving...

    Transmission Fault - LR3

    I recently switched to coils and thought this might be related but it started happening at least three weeks afterwards so I'm not sure any longer. I'm getting a Transmission Fault which affects the DSC, HDC and Special Programs - DSC light and amber (!) appear on the dash. All become...

    NOCO Genius Boost GB40 or similair

    My wife is looking for something to buy me for Christmas and she saw these advertised on TV. From what I see in reviews, any of these little units seem to get a 50/50 mix of good/bad. It would be handy to be able to boost the Land Rover in a pinch but I doubt this would start an LR3. However, I...

    2006 4Runner driveline expectations

    I've been watching for a 4Runner for my wife, usually they have high miles and look well used and they want stupid money for them. I just spotted a 2006 Sport Edition with 333,000 kms, looks like primarily highway but the truck looks to be in excellent condion. I'm wondering what type of mileage...

    2004 Land Cruiser - Couple of quick questions

    I'm hoping to look at a 2004 LC in the next couple of days - original owner, 125,000 miles, no lockers, seven seats, very good condition. He hasn't changed the timing belt or water pump yet. I'm wondering what that typically costs to replace? Also, what's a ballpark cost to swap out all the...

    2011 Trail Low Mileage

    I'm looking at a 2011 Trail edition 4Runner that only has 61,000kms (38,000 miles) on it. Playing with my budget to see if I can afford it. Any issues about it having so low miles. I'm thinking it must have been in a low mileage lease. Any particular things to look for when I go see it. I'm...

    1997 Land Cruiser Question

    I've spotted a 1997 Land Cruiser FJ80 for sale close to me. It looks to be in very good condition. Front & rear diff locks. Interior looks in good condition too. I've only seen photos at this point. It has 176,000 miles on it. What is a reasonable and fair asking price for it. Is there any...

    I picked my TCTeardrops trailer up this week. Just starting to make modifications for how we want things laid out. I'm really happy with how the trailer turned out and how it looks.
