Over time, engine air filters can catch dirt, leaves, and debris and so they need to be cleaned and eventually replaced. Luckily, air filters are normally incredibly easy to replace. Here’s how I replaced mine on my Toyota 4Runner.
For some odd reason, I thought it would be a good idea to “tint” my headlights and rear reflectors and to do it myself.I remember my dad telling me that it was a bad idea because all it was doing was making my lights and reflectors harder to see. Basically it wasn’t safe. Being the young stubborn teen I was, I still did it anyway because I thought it looked cool; plus, I simply wanted to do something—anything to my car.
The Mk1 & Mk2 Volkswagen GTI’s are known as the true GTI’s, with the 3rd and 4th generations losing its way. The Mark 5 Volkswagen GTI is supposed to be the “return of the hot-hatch.” So when I went to purchase this car, I was excited about seeing what the hype was all about.
I wanted to make sure my family and I were safe from the effects of UV rays that come from the sun. I also wanted to reduce the amount of heat that entered the vehicles through the windows. Because of these reasons, I got my 4Runner windows tinted.
This listing came up on Craigslist for a 2003 Toyota 4Runner in Galactic Grey over in Fairfax, California. It took me an hour to drive there to meet the seller, but when I got there the 4Runner that drove in looked a bit different from the posting I saw…
I decided to replace the front and rear differential fluid on my 2003 Toyota 4Runner. The differential fluid lubricates the internal gears, which help transfer power from the driveshaft to the axle. If I want my car to continue running smoothly, I needed to get this maintenance item done.
Many years ago, I decided to take a trip down to Southern California from the Bay Area. At that time, I was just getting into riding and thought it’d be a fun opportunity to ride my motorcycle down rather than drive. The ride was not exactly what I had expected it to be…
The fluid in the transfer case normally lives a pretty easy life under normal driving conditions. My vehicle was at about 200k miles and although I drive pretty mildly, I believed it was time to replace the fluid due to the age of the vehicle.
