    4th gen dash removal and AC repair

    When I do the repairs, I will try and take pics and write up a how to. Do I need to remove the steering wheel?

    Maintenance after 120k

    Make sure the timing belt has been done. There should be a sticker of when it was replaced under the hood. Also might want to look into getting a tune up and all other fluids changed. That way you know what has been done and can start fresh. Might want to look into the camber/caster bolts on the...

    Death of my 4runner

    My wife really wants the new jeep grad Cherokee. I showed her the difference in construction, unibody vs body on frame. I told her, she and someday our kids will never be in anything but a toyota 4runner or my future Ford Raptor because these pictures. This is coming from a die hard Ford fan. I...

    Aircon and cracked dash...

    I'll pick one up and try this out. While the dash is out I'm going to plastidip the entire thing to try and cover up the cracks.

    ***Cracked Dashboard Action Request***

    I too have the cracked dash. I have to pull it to change out my evaporator. While its out I think I'm going to try to use plastidip on it and see how it turns out. Wanted to know everyone's opinion on this...or has anyone tried this yet?

    Aircon and cracked dash...

He also said that at the same time I should change the expansion valve and the aircon filter. He said the entire dash...

    Awesome! Thanks for the tip! I just removed the carbon filter and will be looking for a aftermarket dry element filter. Saves me about 300 bucks.

    Known issues...

    I know the timing belt was done...there is a sticker that says it was replaced. IIRC it was done at 82,000. I can only hope the water pump was done at the same time. Thanks for the heads up about the lights. Is there a thread with any part numbers around? Tried searching and didn't find any...

    Known issues...

    Okay, so I have had my 05 sport edition 4x4 V8 for a few months now. Some of the issues I have are the dash cracking, a weird transmission clunk thing, an alignment issue, and some of the interior lights on the clock/mpg display are out. Also I need a new amp and sub because the sub is blown...

    2005 4th gen upkeep and catch up

    Thanks for all the replies! Nice to know these things are just normal. I will end up taking the truck to the dealer to get the airbag light looked at. I'm hoping they just me the code so I can fix it myself. Does anyone know about the clunk in the v8's 4x4 system...or the Lexus prop shaft mod...
