Wow $400. You have to love those dealers. It seems to me like it is the door lock actuator from all the posts. I wonder how much the part is. I know it would be a bit labor intensive but that sure beats taking it to the dealer.

This is a really weird problem. I did take the door panel off and inspected the the door latch mechanism. The door handle was not broken or seemed like it was bad. I can pull on the door handle really hard and it will unlock the door but I mean really hard. I don't want to break the handle. I...

I have been dealing with this same problem as well. I have been keeping an eye on it for a while now. Do you know how hard this would be to fix myself. Paying over $1000 is pretty steep. By the way I have 103,000 on my 4Runner.

My 2003 4Runner driver side door is not unlocking from the inside when you pull the latch to open the door. It is getting jammed in the lock position and will not unlock when opening the door. I have to use the unlock toggle to unlock all the doors to unlock the driver side door. Any ideas why...

Just did my timing belt this last weekend Aaron, Funny all this timing belt replacement talk. I replaced my timing belt just this last weekend. It took myself and a buddy a day and a half to replace the timing belt, idler pulleys (left & right), tensioner, water pump, serpentine belt, &...

I am wondering if a wheel with these specs would work? I am going to upgrade to a 285/70/17 tire, and want to get new wheels as well. I don't mind doing a little cutting. Just wondering if this wheel would work or would I have to use wheel spacers as well? 17x8 Back Spacing = 5.20 in Offset...

thebionicman, Now that you have had the spoiler for a few months what is your impression. Any problems or issues? I have been doing some research and this seems to be the best price for a painted spoiler. Thanks

Has anyone bought parts from this company. If so, how do you feel about them. http://www.1sttoyotaparts.com/

The trail is Deer Creek, Saints John trails. It is on top of Glacier Mountain. Highest point was 12,500 ft. I would have to say that it was not the same location you took your GTI. You would only take a 4X4 to get up there. Did your GTI have 4 motion!!!!!!! Ha Ha

Ricky, I am thinking that I will come across the same situation with the belt looking fine. I am going to go ahead and do it anyway just to be safe. I am now at 94,000 miles. Just need to make time to do it.
