I have a 2003 V8 approaching 90K. Should I be considering changing the timing belt? How much should this cost?

Thanks for the help out there, installed the new relay and everything appears to be operating just fine. Anyone have any information on the upcoming new Sequoia? My wife and I had twins since I purchased the 4 Runner and I am in need of a more spacious vehicle.

I noticed the other day while driving that the A/C light was blinking. Any ideas out there? I have a Limited with duel automatic climate contol. Thanks

I have 33,000 miles on my 2003 V8 Limited. A couple of minor problems fixed by the dealer free of charge: 1. Driver's seat creak 2. Moisture behind the front left fog light lens Other than that, no problems at all!! I love the truck and would buy another in a minute. Bobby C

Hi, Anyone out there experience a creaky driver's seat in an '03 Limited? When I lean into the seat, particularly the left side, there is a creaky/squeaky sound, Any suggestions? Thanks

I test drove trucks with and w/out XREAS. I went with the XREAS for the tighter feeling while cornering. It's not a dramatic difference, but I'm more comfortable in turns since the truck tends not to lean over as much. And oh yeah, my wife liked it better.

All, The other day while crusing to work I was noticing how many 03 and 04 4R's I have been seeing on the road of late. Today I counted 13 during my 80 mile commute to and from work. It's amazing, this truck is really catching on!! I noticed someone posted some sales statistics recently that...

Here are my numbers: My ride to work is 82 miles/day round trip - all highway doing about 70 - 75 mph. On the computer I'm getting 20.8 miles/gallon. Based on reading other posts my mpg is most likely a bit overstated, but not bad for a V8. I'm also running on regular gas.

The truck looks great!!!!

Guys, Thanks for the pics - very helpful. It looks like the T&H bar might hide the front license plate? Also to Lloyd, I read in an earlier post you had your westin bar painted. Did you just bring it to an auto body shop to have it painted? All your trucks look great!

Lee1, The truck is beautiful, the wheels on the sport look great!! Good Luck

Mark86, Thanks for your comments. We live in Bedminster and purchased the truck at Morristown Toyota this past August. I actually went to Morristown Toyota with my wife so she could take a test drive and we drove off with the truck that night. They wouldn't let me go, I got a great deal after a...

Sport Bumper Trim Thanks for the information. I don't think I'll be going for the Toyota Sport Trim, too much about "shattered hollow plastic" in your replys. I do like the T&H Bull Bar, sounds easy to install and looks good. Vcoglian, can you post a pic of the T&H Bull Bar in stainless...

Anyone out there install the Toyota Sport Bumper Trim on a '03 or '04? I never have seen the piece up close, is it worth installing or should I go for an aftermarket bar? Is it easy to install? Thanks in advance for any insights.

Snow Speaking of snow, you should have seen this baby churn through it this winter. It's actually kind of fun driving this truck in the snow, not the rush hour stuff, but the back road stuff where you can play around with the Runner's capabilities. Really, you southern boys are missing out on...
