I never get car sick, but try riding in your own back seat. At least on my 4th gen, its really rough! Probably worse than my mums BMW at that

For a follow up, I tried the 303 because I figured if that worked, there would be no reason for painting. 2 months later and 11K miles in 120 degree heat, rain, and a bit of snow, the 303 is working great. The fins are still black after 1 application. Thanks for everyone's ideas

Not that bosmob needs any more convincing, but to anyone else wondering Rain X my results with it have been fantastic as well. You can get it in the bottle, but I would get the spray bottle preferably. It always lasts me at least a few weeks, and if you get Rain X washer fluid it lasts even...

I hear you. I have looked all over for the angled fitting myself. I'm curious where others got them too

First off, don't buy the cheapest O2 sensor you can find. A lot of guys on this forum and friends of mine have had really bad luck with cheap o2 sensors. Also, don't buy it direct from toyota either; buy the Denso counterpart. The Toyota OEM is the same thing as the denso you would buy off a...

I can't tell if that's real. The fire caught very quick, and the guy in the car that caught on fire got out of it very fast for just getting T boned. I think it would take longer than that to realize what just happened....

Are you using Sylvania Silverstars by any chance?

Bmw 3 series? My mom has had 3 of them, and she loves them to death, but after about 5-7 years the only way they "seem to last forever" is if you put tons of money in them. It becomes a bottomless money pit after a while. Agreed, this author does not know what he is talking about.

As Allegro said, it is off when the key is off. If you wanted to mod it so its on all of the time, here's the DIY Kmvreter made. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/accessories/11038-constant-12v-power-outlets.html My solution for plugging in my GPS without having cords draped around the shift knob...

Wow! That's awesome they fixed it free of charge. You never clarified if you bought it used like that or if you did it yourself. If you bought it used it makes sense that they fixed it for free.

I posted this on your thread, but for anyone that might possible be folowing this issue in the future, you can find the resolution that I found here.... http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/67520-went-clean-my-throttle-body.html

I'm not sure how yours broke off, but I broke mine myself. I apologize for not replying to my earlier thread-I didn't notice anyone else posted. I ended up bringing mine to a shop to do it right. I was afraid I would mess something else up. The stud is like $8?, but mine was broken so my...

I think I got this URL from someones post on a different thread. Anyways, here it is. Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada POI's for GPS's, and the address if you don't have a gps for non-ethanol gas in the US and Canada. (Florida Included ts1980) Thanks to this site, I pay a dime...

I was thinking about this too, but I wasn't sure how accurate it was, but I will try it anyways. Does anyone find its off by a lot? I need just a ballpark really. I will be towing a 3.5K lb pop up camper, so I'm pretty sure I would average higher in the v8 than the v6. At altitude and mountain...

I have a v8, and because we don't have an instantaneous MPG monitor, I can't tell which rpm in 5th creates the greatest amount of MPG. I have searched everywhere for specifics on the 4runner tq/hp curves, and nothing comes up. I'm not looking to rival a Prius, but when I drive 8K+ miles around...
