    Loved that!

    The Fest Wests he put on were superb - especially in the mid to late nineties. Too bad they were a victim of their own great success.

    Very sorry to hear this. He's one of the few that I have trusted to work on my car, great person. Sad end to an era.

    As mentioned, I don't know if the wipers worked or not when the gauges were acting up. She's garaged so wipers in the morning are a non issue. What didn't work were the fuel, temp gauges and the tach....until the tap, then all bounce(d) to life.

    If the fuse(s) is intact, check the connection(s) behind the instrument panel. Same thing occasionally happened on my tii, I first thought it was because of cold weather as after I would drive her for awhile everything would start working again. Long story short.... One morning all the above were not working again, so I tapped the face of the instrument cluster and BAYAM - all gauges worked again. Faulty connection in back of the instrument panel. Shot in the dark hit for once. Oh....don't think I was using the wipers however.....but they work.

    Sure was in seventy nine, especially for fifty somethings. 50 year olds didn't start looking and acting hot till the late 2000s...

    Saw that in the movie's trailer.

    Get rid of the factory jack (well, keep it as it does have value) and get a scissors jack as it's much safer and will do a better job. You'll figure out where to stow it.

    Not sure what you're trying to accomplish, 2002#2...If you want to simply disconnect the battery from the car's system you can install a battery switch like I did: A flick of the wrist and it's disconnected. I did run a low amp hot lead to the radio so I wouldn't lose my presets, and I can play the radio without the ignition switch on if desired..

    What an incredible life he had.

    For $5K she looks like a nice driver....Much better than your typical Toyota fer sure.

    You should be able to reach up there and get it.

    Variable prices depending on where you live.

    I don't know how Hagerty can substantiate how many miles one drives per year. I have a 2500 mile limit, last year I drive my tii 400ish, they've never asked me what my odo has on it since I can remember.

    Agree 100 percent - especially when the wipers come to life....

    Better handling, easier oil changes, less clutter in the engine bay, allows for a very easy battery cutoff switch (which keeps the honest people from stealing your car). Exposed posts are not a problem as they are covered, the Optima has side thread capability.

    How much vertical room do you have?
  20. bmdubl02
    Nice.

    a spare and a working jack can save you hours (or your car if left on the side of the road)..
  22. bmdubl02
    That's incredible....I do hope this is not a case where you get what you pay for! CutteRug, do report back if you find out anything...

    This tells me that it's an electrical problem. The next time this happens (and you've made it to the side of the road safely) open the hood and push a few electrical connections tight and see if your car starts. If not, push in a few more et cetera. This happened to me 15 or more years ago several times (same symptoms as you experienced) and I did this, car fired right up, hasn't happened since. Thing was - I was in a sketch part of the world, pushed in (tight) every electric connection under the hood in under 90 seconds, she fired up and I was outta there. In hindsight I wished I'd have been more patient with trying to find out exactly what was causing the problem. But the shot in the dark worked.

    All due respect.....Looks like any decent looking tii we get the pleasure of seeing on the road these days.. juz zayin.
