    Are all 03-09 V6 transmissions interchangeable?

    03 and 04 were 4 speeds. 05- were 5 speeds.

    Show me your compressor mount

    How noisy are these things from there? Quiet enough for nighttime in a campground? They have their own fuel supply? Or you're tapping into the 4R gas tank?

    Looking for another 4th Gen ... how concerned should I be about V6 HG failure?

    Just curious, what was the production month of your 06? I'm wondering if this theory is correct that they changed the design of the gasket around November 2005. Or did your 06 overheat?

    Staying Warm Overnight in my 4Runner

    You mock us but I spent the whole night out once when it got down to 48 degrees. That almost cold enough for water to freeze, I think.

    Write-up: How to Disable (Bypass) the TPMS

    Can you support that? What is the federal statute number? Has the federal government filed such a suit?

    Staying Warm Overnight in my 4Runner

    A generator / resistance heater sounds nice but I'm sometimes at a popular trailhead (e.g. 14ers) where there could be objections to the noise. I'm skeptical about battery powered resistance heat at least off the vehicle battery. Carrying and charging multiple batteries sounds like a pain...

    Staying Warm Overnight in my 4Runner

    And your car starts in the morning off the same battery?

    Three broken studs...

    People don't know sh*t at 30. No one should be allowed to use air tools on lug nuts until they reach at least retirement age. They can have an younger assistant to move the tire around, bend over, etc.

    Semi Gloss or Satin paint for Undercarriage?

    He was pulled over for smoking pot but couldn't remember why he was pulled over. The paint story is simply a ruse.

    Like Your 4th Gen. Don't Like 5th Gen?

    You're an accountant, aren't you? 5743 miles since 2008 and keyed "a few times" is a rough life.

    New buyer advice? Looking at two today

    4th generation started in 03 model year. The head gasket was supposedly fixed, or at least improved, around November 2005 or during 06 production. You can check the production date of the 06 - but the issue may not justify eliminating an otherwise nice car.
