    So BIG time screw up

    Yeah, I didn't think you'd be able to siphon from a newer vehicle. If there isn't a petcock drain on the tank (and I kinda hope there isn't) you can disconnect your fuel line before the filter and slowly drain the tank by turning the key to ON. Letting the fuel pump "prime", as Overland...

    Calipers Frozen? You bet!

    I knew there had to be a catch. This truck was just too cool... Good post. Thanks for the heads up.

    Maint Light...need some help...first time poster...new owner

    Copied from a previous post. Found this to be very helpful. I printed it out and left it in my glovebox. TSB EL002-03 has these instructions: 1. Turn ignition switch to "ON" position 2. Set odometer/trip display to "ODO" mode 3. Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position 4. Depress and hold the...

    Driver's Seat=Major Back Pain. Any Suggestions?

    I don't know about replaing the seat cushions, but I did see someone had adjusted their driver's seat by adding 5-6 washers under the front seat bolts to raise the front of the seat for better thigh support. This should also allow for a more natural recline. I keep meaning to try it.

    Shaking in Steering Wheel at 60mph??

    A vibe in the steering wheel means (90% of the time) a front wheel is out of balance. A vibe felt in the driver's seat is a rear wheel out of balance. An 08 should NOT be having a tie rod issue. Rotating your tires is essential to tire life and will prevent wear issues that can throw a wheel...

    2011 limited wheels on 4th gen(pic request)

    Following the transitive property theorem I hope Tuscaloosa = flattened does NOT = gaterose = flattened. Hope you weathered the storm ok.

    3 Questions

    Lubing the driveshaft fixes a "bump" felt when you take your foot off the brake from a stop. It's annoying and easy to fix if you've got a grease gun. For #2 & 3, I know nothing.

    sold my 4runner

    I just paid $23k and change for an 08 SR5 w/30k miles in January. Looks like they're holding value very well. Of course, maybe that's just Colorado for ya. Looks like you're in Pueblo West...Did you ever take yours over Medano Pass to the Sand Dunes?

    4Lo is a No Go

    I saw that coming, but compared to a manual shift system it is. And a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder shifted in under 1 second. 3 seconds, when stuck in a situation where you really want to be in 4wd is longer than you'd think. How long does yours take to engage?

    4Lo is a No Go

    Just bought my 08 4R and it seems to take a long time for 4hi to engage and disengage. 3 full seconds minimum. Is this normal?

    Can I add an amp to my stock radio?

    I've got a couple of questions to piggyback onto this... 1. Will the stock HU power additional speakers? 1b. Does anyone know the wattage rating of the stock HU? 2. Do the lame storage compartments in the cargo area (above the wheel wells) come out and make room for speakers? 2b. If they do is...
