Not sure when TB/WP was done last Breathing life into an old thread. I bought my Runner with 236k miles from a used car lot. Having done some pre-purchase research on 3rd gen 4Runners, I knew the TB/WP needed replacement every 90k miles. I asked if they knew when the service had last been done...

I don't technically 'drive' it, but my housemate has an '04 Honda Shadow VLX 600. It's been parked for about 6 years and was leaking fuel somewhere between the petcock and carburetor. I'm no mechanic but I'm comfortable working on my 3rd gen 'cause I know Timmy the Tool Man has my back. But that...

I didn't drive mine long enough before I bought it for the CEL to come on. I've tested every check valve in the fuel/evap system and they all work. I'm thinking it's the gasket on the gas tank where the fuel suction tube is. The low pressure hose that goes to the fuel suction tube ruptured last...

Today I changed the rear diff fluid..80w-90. Damn that gear oil stinks! You know you've got an awesome vehicle when the manufacturer still sells fill and drain plugs 19 years after the fact. Yeah...I'll be purchasing both. Not going to lie and say I was a bit anxious when I crawled under and...

So...I've got an '02 2WD Limited. Yeah, it's got several issues I'm in the process of working out. What did I do with it today? I drove it. She's got 267k miles on the clock and the check engine light glares at me every time I start the engine..evap crap. I replaced the alternator brushes a few...

Replaced the alternator brushes. There wasn't a 'rebuilt' 'refurbished' sticker in sight on the alternator....'Toyota' 'Denso'. 267k miles...replaced with oem brushes. Expect another 250k miles. If I knew how to upload pics of the old/new I would. FYI...not sure where I read it, but if you're...

That is one sexy truck...

'02 LTD 2WD 267k...crawled under the rear to apply some PB Blaster to sway bar end links and shock mounts for an impending rear suspension refresh. I've had my Runner for 4 years and I don't think I've ever looked at the coil springs, struts or shocks. Noticed that the bump stops in the rear...

I have an '02 Limited 2WD that just hit 260k. I haven't done anything to the truck in the last year other than oil changes, plugs/wires and replacing driveshaft u-joints. Haven't towed anything or been off-road. About a week ago, I started the truck one morning and immediately noticed the low...

Old thread but having the same issue as the OP...trickling water sound behind my dash. My heater works like a champ and carpet/floors in the driver and passenger footwells are bone dry. The trickling only happens when the heater is on during a cold start and seems to last until the engine...

Thanks for your efforts Jhelms! My '02 Runner was having the same issue...left blinker worked fine but right was not working when fully engaged. It would work if you didn't push it all the way up but when fully engaged it would just make a rapid clicking sound. Both blinkers worked normally...

I don't think they sell it west of the Mississippi. I used to bar tend in Va Beach...maybe a year or 15 ago...and Yuengling became my fave. Had a care package of cans sent about a year ago. It just wasn't the same. OK folks...don't make me drive down to the local Burger King.

Nice Techno. And my favorite draft beer to boot! Sucks we can't get it here in TX. Going to have to make a trip east before long...

Favorite beer on hood I'll keep the challenge easy to try and gain more interest in the game. I personally like challenges to be a bit more difficult. I've cracked up more than a few times at what some members have come up with to meet challenges in the past. New Challenge...picture of your 4R...

Scenic Vista I'm liking this game. Just found the thread a few days ago and have only read thru page 38 so far. Skipped ahead to the end of the thread and found the latest challenge. My T4R and the Austin skyline (so frickin' humid today). If this pic meets the challenge criteria, I'll log...
