Thanks Koz, But I don't have a transfer case...I'm 2 wheel drive. I also think you may be missing the point of my post. I'm trying to see if my warranty could be voided by Toyota by not meeting the specified time to perform the items, as I'm on extremly low milage and don't want to have to do...

Thanks Koz, Are you saying that I *should* have the plugs changed at 30K miles, but forget the recommended end caps torque and I'll be Ok and within my warranty specs? Also, the plug change is recommended by the manual at 30,000 miles or 3 years. In other words, you say just wait until 30K even...

Hope this exact question hasn't been answered, but I didn't see it in a search, so here goes! I've got a 2005 Limited with the V6 and 2 wheel drive and have very low milage. I noticed in the warranty manual that Toyota doesn't require the dealership to preform the suggested maintenance, nor...

I had a rattle just about like yours when I took delivery of my 4Runner. Found out it was the roof rack. The sliding adjustable horizontal bars (rods?) across the rack were a little loose. Tightened them up and all was well. It was weird...I was having a tough time locating the rattle...sounded...

Thanks for the reply! :) In fact, chunderboy, yours is one of the sigs that I remember seeing and wondering...what is that?? Now I know...don't think I have it on mine...going to have to get out the window 'sticker' and look at the extra 'stuff' mine came with...see that you (chunderboy), also...

I did a search and could get no hits...saw this posted as a sig. on one or two member's posts. What is it? Thanks, Allen :confused:

Thanks to all for contributing to this thread. I'm still not convinced to go to my dealer for the rotations every 5000 and then have him send my tires in and expect to get a price for them that would cover my new set pre-bought from my dealer when the old ones have 3/32nd tread left. I'm glad...

How long a wait and how much did your dealer charge for each rotation? Was there a 'push' for balance, and if so, how many #'s? One other point...do they *keep* replacing them, say every 35,000 miles or so...ie: where you would end up with 2 new sets of tires (3 sets counting the originals)? I...

I'll agree with SteveM & Edge...by the time my dealer got through with me with this special 'warranty', the money I would save by not taking the dealer up on it could buy at *least* a good set of tires and get a free rotation and balance thrown in as part of the deal. I know that Discount Tire...

I'm sorry, but I really don't understand what you mean by "tires for life". You mean that no matter what you do the dealer will install a new set of tires for you...no questions asked when your old tires are 'worn' out?? Must be some stipulations...care to share a little more info?? Allen

No, I bought the 4Runner new just a couple of months ago. I agree with you, this sounds very suspicious as far as warranties go. Just sounds like a good way to get you into the dealer and let them rip you off on the rotation. I'd bet they really screw you on the balance job! :) They always pitch...

I posted this in a thread about rotating tires a few down, but decided to post again as some might not read it. I've got a 2005 4Runner Limited 4x2 and it came with a tire guarantee for road hazard + an extra warranty for 100,000 mile tire wear warranty if you rotate *from dealer only* every...

I've got a 2005 4Runner Limited 4x2 and it came with a tire guarantee for road hazard + an extra warranty for 100,000 mile tire wear warranty if you rotate *from dealer only* every 5,000 miles and let them also balance *if* needed. I read it two or three times and have come to the conclusion it...

Thanks a lot for the replies! I don't mind the DRL that much...it is the dash lights that had me concerned about burning out, but if they are LED I'll forget that issue. Guess I will start using the 'auto' position on my headlights then...with the Toyota they only stay on about 20 seconds if I...

Did a search and got a lot of hits on how to disable the daytime running lights on my 2005 4R limited...I think I know how, maybe???!! My question is, when my (DRL) are on, my dash lights are also on. The dash lights being on is what I don't like about the setup most of all. Point being...
