The squeeky wheel gets the oil.

Do not accept their insurance companys first offer. They will say it is totalled and offer you squat. I would tell them you want it fixed exactly as it was before their client caused the damage to it. They owe you a rental car until it is done. I have 2 4runners now and they are never leaving...

Faded trim Thank you for the advice. Cerakote trim restorer will be on my list along with Wipe New. I just picked up some Armor all "Outlast" . It is an 8 oz bottle and I happened to be at Lowes earlier today. I had read that it was good and worth a try. PS. I use a propane torch to melt the...

Lineman, Thank you. I will give "Wipe New" a try.

What to use to restore the plastic trim on 03 sport? Around wheels etc… what is everyone using ??

I just ran across this and thought I'd share it. http://www.gadgetonline.com/Transmission.htm

Thank you for your promp and informative response. "The 4-speed auto will need to have the valve body upgraded or shimmed in order to handle the additional power." Could you expand on this? Is this somthing you learned first hand? Is there a valvebody upgrade kit available? or where are shims...

Compatability question. I have 90K miles already and I'm concerned about what this additional compression might do. Engine,transmission,transfer case ,full time 4x4 systems, etc... I want the power but, with an acceptable level of associated accellerated damage. Would you reccomend...

MDT4RNR, Thank You. Your directions are very concise. Did the origonal fobs still work afterwards or did they need to be reprogramed using the same steps ?

JHarris, Nice attempt to dodge the facts. I see you have been here for a long ......... long...... time. Has smug rehetoric served you well? Just kidding.... ( Hope you can take it)

Thanks to everybody. I will try them all , if necessary , one at a time. If I don't melt the fob or go insane hopping on one leg while screaming " OH WHAT A FEELING " , I'm confident I'll get it to work. This is an excellent forum.

jharris, Thanks for the reply. I read your old post and it is the one I was discussing . You provided a link to a TSB that is dated 7/19/02. I may be new to this forum but, If you'd take the time to read your own post you'll see there is no referance to it including a 2003 4Runner as an...

I did the search previously and read that info. I did not see where it includes the 2003 4Runner as one of the included vehicles. I had doubts that it would work. But, If you know it does, I'll give it a shot. I'll let you know in a week ( when I get the fob) how it goes. Thanks for the reply.

Could sombody please give me the proceedure? I have both origonal remotes but the plastic key ring broke on one of them. I just bought a used remote that is similar, ( HYQ12BAN ) Thanks .

Sharp4runr, You know where to find it . Thanks a lot . That is ecactly what I needed to know . That space sure looks cramped. I am not sure now if there is enough room for an aftermarket unit to fit and properly breathe/disapate heat. Might use a computer case fan. I have a couple of freinds...
