I'll sell you mine if you want. I just took them off last week, 2000 SR5. I don't know what shipping would be like from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. If you want to look into it and it's appealing....let me know. A

The wires you need are all relatively easy to find. You will need to splice into your ignition harness, not a big deal if you're good with electrical. There just isn't alot of room for error here as the harness is quite tight and didn't allow for too much wiggle room. My started specifically...

I installed an aftermarket keyless entry and remote started on my 1990 4runner. It's not too bad an install if you have a good multi-meter and a comfortable place to work. I searched for a detailed wiring schematic, but decided it would be more work than finding the wires myself

Becasue your proposed rental trailer has hydrualic surge brakes you won't need any special wiring or a brake controller. Where will you be driving? Hydraulic brakes operate well in flat areas or uphill situations...but are horrible in downhill situations, if they're not set up well. If you have...

Does your trailer have brakes? Many state laws require brakes on any trailers over 2000lbs. A

Stealership says it's moisture in the brake booster and there is no way of fixing it. They wasnt to sell me a new booster, installed for $1522!!! Does this sound right? They also say it's a sealed unit and I can't attempt to fix the one I've got. Any advice? A

It's been pretty cold here the last few days and I've been having a problem with the brakes! I start the truck and let it warm up for about 10 min, when I go to put it in drive the brake pedal only goes in by about an inch and the braking is really hard, like if I were using the brakes without...

Actually, the sunroof cuts into the headroom by an inch or so...unless of course you have it open! I'm 6'6'' 230lbs and have looked into getting both more legroom and headroom. The options however aren't too appealing. They involve new bolt locations being welded into your floorboards to get a...

Has anyone broken off the hinged cover on their 12v power outlets behind the shifter? I'm trying to fix my broken one and can't figure out how to pull the whole oulet....there are 3 tabs on the back...but they don't seem to do anything. Any help would be great. 2000 4Runner SR5

Yeeeeehaaaaa! Just picked up a '00 4Runner out of Texas and am flying down to drive it back to Winnipeg (about 8hrs North of Minneapolis)! Any advise on things to do before I hit the sub zero temps? I'm planning on: Flushing the rad and replacing with antifreeze coolant Adding a block heater...

Thank you! Would this cause these lights to come on intermitently? It seems to be only at higher speeds...is this typical? Also any hints or suggestions on getting the alternator out....do I have to remove the distributer? Thanks again for all your help. Aero

So I"m bombing down the highway in my 1990 3.0 and I look down to see 3 warning lights! The Brake(!), the Battery Symbol, and the A/T Temp light????????? After pulling over and checking the basics, I decide to keep driving. The lights eventually go out...but now they come on periodically. Any...

I've got to replace all 4 ball joints on the front of my 1990 4runner, the stealership is quoting me over a grand! I've tried finding detailed instructions online but am only finding vauge info. Does anyone have any advise or experience replacing the upper and lower ball joints? Also, the...

Must be the switch itself then. I thought it had to be the resistor b/c it works in that switch position...but just not at the right speed. Thanks for your help.

I think I've got the resistor.... Is this it?
