    Dont change your starter. it sucks.

    I've searched every starter motor thread change and nothing states what you should do when you reach the water coolant bridge and wire harness that sits directly above the starter motor bolts.. You need to lift both up to access the 2 bolts in the back!!! I had to take off the nuts to the...

    Probably a newer FJ Toyota Landcruiser for around 20 grand used. I think I'm done with the fast cars driving in LA. Honestly, I've always been a big fan of the Toyota Landcruisers as I've owned and or drove just about every body type thru the years.. The FJ40's with the swapped in 350 push...
