Separate names with a comma.
I’d guesstimate at around 150k miles? That’s quite belated. DIY, and if so how did it look? If not DIY, who did the cleaning, what was the cost,...
Other factors to weigh: Oil consumption rate? Rust progression. Where in the USA are you, are the roads salted through winter?
Easy, your ad blocker didn’t load. :) this site single handledly motivated me to always run an ad blocker.
Consider Amayama too. You'd want to factor in shipping too, probably best to get it all either from Japan OR UAE, to avoid two shipping charges,...
I took the list from post 509, plugged in numbers from Toyota USA Parts Site, just MSRP. Street prices maybe 20~25 percent lower: [ATTACH]
I have Dutch ancestry on my mom's side, came from a big family, with lots of (married) sisters; that might explain a few things... [ATTACH] Don't...
