    aftermarket tow hook options

    The front tow hook looks a LOT like the stock tow hook I had on my 82 hilux... I bet it would bolt right on if I ever found the damn thing...

    Anyone with a roof mounted bike rack?

    No, and why risk scratching the roof? Now, if you got a tow hitch, and got one of the bike holders that went on that, I guess it would be OK...

    Faulty Expansion Valve Recall

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to bring it to the dealer to get the work done, I'm doing it myself because I'm cheap and there are VERY few people i trust to even touch my car... Cheap? Nope, just happened to pertain to what I'm trying to get fixed...

    Pre 89 FOG light mod:

    :3d_frown: The front is not just a cover, it's a Fresnel lense that properly aims the light. The blinder is there to stop you from blinding people! Direct viewing of an HID bulb is TOO BRIGHT, you need to put the blinders back in at least! If not, be prepared to have high beams flashed...

    RPS 3200 PP w/Stock Toyota Disk???

    You don't HAVE to bench bleed, but it makes life easier. As the system is small it's not as bad as trying to push all the air through the system on the brakes...

    RPS 3200 PP w/Stock Toyota Disk???

    Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean there isn't a problem. The thrust washers doesn't have any oil forced into them, they aren't the same kind of bearing as the rest of the engine (more like the tranny where the lubrication is from splashing). Personally, once I outgrow this...
