Link for Toyota Batteries and info Here's the link to the Toyota website that lists all sorts of interesting stuff on the Toyota batteries. http://www.toyotaownersonline.com/parts-service/toyota_parts/batteries.html

So what exactly did the dealer install? Make/model/ size of the battery that he put in would be of interest to us!

What size...24F or 27F? I'm also looking to replace my battery in my 06. I've come across some interesting stuff on the internet looking for the right battery. Looking at the Toyota Truestart Battery information it lists in the cross reference chart that our original battery, 105D31L, the...

Anyone try the Sears Platinum P1 Die Hard in their 4Runner? I'm especially interested in how it fits in a 4th Gen. I have an 06 with the V6 and though my original battery is still cranking OK after 50k miles, I'm sort of expecting it to fail when the weather gets cold as I really did abuse the...

Any suggestions as to where to get replacement brake rotors for my 06 Limited? Does this model use different rotors since it has 18" tires or are the same rotors used on all models? Oh yeah, it has the 4.0 V6. Thanks! Bob

I'm getting ready to change my belt on my V6 and was looking at the different brand belts out there. One thing that I noticed was the huge price difference between the OEM belt and the others. Now I realize that OEM is always more money, but with a list price of about $85 and a selling price...

I have an 06 with nav and "factory" XM. I installed the Toyota XM kit myself as it was not offered at the time I was purchasing my 4Runner. Anyway, anyone ever come up with any hidden menus that might show XM (or Sirius) satellite information such as signal strength or which satellite is being...

Just an update to original question...Today I was successful in making a copy of the DVD. This time the file size was 7.26 GB...I don't know why last time I kept getting over 15 GB as my file size! First off I'm using a Mac PowerBook G4 and I simply copied the files from the DVD into a "burn...

Anyone make a backup DVD for their Navigation system? I never did any DVD burning but I do have a burner and would like to make a backup...this way I can use the backup and keep the original in a safe place. Can this disc be copied and used? Any tips or pointers to how I go about doing it? I...

Doing the reset did not affect any of the other settings except for map orientation...I always leave mine set for travelling "up" on the map rather than "north" being in the up posistion. After doing the reset it went back to north up. Naturally just touching the compass puts it back to my...

I did the reset as described on the Sienna boards and it's been working like a charm for 10 days now. Haven't lost the "GPS" indicator yet. My problem was exactly the same as described on the Sienna boards...I'd only receive 3 or 4 satellites and I guess the system couldn't lock in. Did the...

What's the latest database version that has been released? I believe someone said version 6.1 is the newest that was released in September (from the Sienna boards). Also, what generation nav do I have in my 06 Ltd? The model is E7008. How can you tell what gen it is? Also from the Sienna...

With this talk of the nav system showing the wrong location, I had this problem several times and just thought nothing of it. I figured it was just poor signal from the satellites or some inteference in the area I was travelling. I also notice now that the "GPS" indicator in the upper left...

Any recommendations as to where to buy OEM oil filters online? I'd like to pick up 10 or so to have in stock so I don't have to scramble when it's oil change time. I'm looking for the V6 filter...sorry I don't have the p/n handy. Who have you dealt with that's good with the price of the filter...

I have a white '06 LTD and the black dimpled area between the front door window and the rear door window is not black and shiny any longer...sort of turning white. What do I use in this area to clean and protect it? Is this an area for "Back to Black" or similar products? Thanks1 Bob
