I have an OEM Toyota rugged trunk liner in black that I do not need. It is almost new. I am located in Clear Lake, south Houston. If you are local and can pick it up, you can have it for free. Let me know if you want a picture of it.

Yeah you can just pull up and push down on the interior door lock that sticks up next to the window.

The toe is adjusted. They said the tire wear should be even but the ride quality will still suffer without a proper alignment.

I just reprogrammed a new keyless remote for my 02 sport the other day. Are you sure you are following the steps exactly? Mine worked fine. Do the following: 1) unlock the drivers side door and leave it open. 2) put in the key to the ignition and pull it out. 3) lock then unlock the drivers...

Sorry for my ignorance on this, but I assume that I will need new lower control arms? Will these come with the new alignment bolts already installed? Is there a recommended brand of aftermarket control arms that I should be looking at if my car has the bilstein 5100/OME upgraded suspension, or...

I recently installed new suspension components, so I took my 2002 Sport Edition 4x4 in for an alignment. The shop said the alignment bolts were seized and they were unable to adjust anything. I soaked them in penetrating oil for 2 weeks and took it to another alignment shop. They said the...

Thanks for the help. I put some sticky soft-sided velcro around that thin metal rod going to the push-pull lock. Solved the problem.

My 2002 4runner is rattling on the drivers front door lock. The part that you can push or pull up and down to manually lock or unlock the door is loose. It still works fine, but rattles a good amount when I am driving. I took the door panels off a year or so ago to put in sound deadening...

Greasing the splines, rather than simply greasing from the fitting, eliminates the clunk. That is why many of us on here do this on a regular basis. I use a special lube from I believe ford that is designed for this exact use. It has been recommended numerous times on here by members. Just...

Is there a way to find the original orientation?

When I put it back together, I just rotated the output side to fit with the slip yoke. I would have to try every single spline combination to find the original combination. Then test drive it each time. There must be around 100 (or more!) possible combinations, right? Is it bad for the...

When I was lubing the slip yoke today, I made a huge error I think. I made a mark before dissasemly to help line everything back up once I finished. However, during the process of lubing, I rubbed off the alignment mark I had made. I put the joint back together, hoping everything would be...

Here is how to fix it: 1) drain and flush you coolant. 2) Purchase and install a new radiator if it is the original. 3) Disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses going into the heater core. These are the two thin black tubes going into and out of the firewall (let me know if you need pictures)...

How does 40 bucks sound? I would rather not ship this since its fairly heavy and bulky. I will work with you if you live within a reasonable distance of the south bay.

I so I recently ordered the material (both the mat and foam) to sound deaden the doors of my 2002 4runner. I have quite a bit left over after the project, and am willing to make someone an excellent deal if they need it. There is probably enough to do 2 doors. Make an offer! I'm located in...
