Hi all - just posted in the classifieds section. If anyone has current/future interest in an auto to manual swap for a 2001/2002 I've got an ECU out of a 2003 Tacoma that would work for you...

I have the ECU needed to convert an auto to manual for a 2001/2002. Unit is from a 2003 Tacoma with the same 4WDemand system. Toyota P/N 89661-0Y010. I purchased this a few years ago but never did the swap. Purchased from a 3rd party ECU vendor, but the unit may need to be flashed by a dealer...

Posting a problem and solution as I wasn't able to find reference to my particular situation on the forum. Note there are other cases of ABS system error states related to LED dash bulb replacement but this is a bit different. I took my truck off roading a few weeks ago and incurred some...

I've been considering a small lift on my 2002 for some time, and spent a lot of time on this forum reading what others have done (thanks to all that contributed on the subject of lifts!). In the end I went with 99 springs all the way around + Bilstein 5100s front and back + BFG 275/70/R16s. It...

I guess they would have to be right... Sounds like I have a new weekend job coming up. Assume worst case is they bind up the water pump in the meantime? Thanks again for the help!

Big shout out to hopeless diamond and Tim for the advice to check my radiator cap. Just took it off to inspect and found it broken. See pic attached. My only question is, what could have happened to the spring? Hope it's not rattling around in there...

Looking for some advice or experience on a potential overheat issue. Over the weekend I towed a small boat (~2500lbs) along with my family to the boat ramp. After getting the boat in the water and parking the truck I heard bubbling/ saw steam coming from under the hood. Popped it and saw my...

I did this project a few years back - see write up here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/157760-gear-cargo-loft.html Still going strong!! Even after having quite a lot of stuff up there.

Okay looks like a couple questions came up here - 1) Use of existing changer - I don't believe that the DF-TOY system would allow a direct use of both the changer and the aux, although I'm thinking you could create a splitter with some soldering and a switch if you really wanted to preserve...

Wanted to come back with an update. I installed the same unit 99problems referenced above and it works fantastic. The sound quality is as good as a CD and the transition is pretty seamless. For now, I would really recommend it - hopefully it lasts...

Thanks 99Problems! Just ordered one of the eBay. I'll keep everyone posted.

Thanks for the responses guys. I like the existing radio/head unit interface, but it seems like it is time to scrap it in favor of more functionality. Might be able to squeeze a CB in the giant hole the existing unit takes up :biggrin1:

Hi all – I’m interested in using the CD changer deck port on the back of my stock radio as an aux audio input. A number of companies appear to make these types of products, but I’ve been through three of them without success. Has anyone out there gotten one of these to work? If so, could you...

Echoing JRZEE2000TR4LTD's comment, would suggest the A/C drain tube exit is likely blocked. This has happened to me nearly every year in the Spring once I turn on the AC. After running the A/C for a while, I would get drops of cool water on my shoes. If I took a really hard turn, a few pints...

P0420 Error Code A few weeks ago I ran into the dreaded P0420 error code on my 3rd Gen. I did a lot of research related to the code and thought it might be useful for others to have the information I found. I can really only support the details mentioned below for the same vehicle year and...
