I had this happen on my 03 in Boston due the wicked pisser winters and weather and lubed my steering shaft and u-joints and worked great. Now when I change my oil and filter and lube my 05 I also spray the u-joints and steering shaft.

Well, I got some stainless-steel rod from work and finagled it in without drilling the rivets out. Ethier way it is done but if you drill the rivets out you still have to remove the pin and is not easy cutting it was just as easy for me, I used basically a Dremel tool to cut it but my new pin...

I looked at YT and saw some videos and got a pretty good idea of what to do. As a aircraft mechanic I have access to a lot of materials so I will use some stainless steel pin/rod and fix it.

Has anyone experienced a broken fuel door hinge pin being broken. And if so how did you fix it? I have my own ideas but just want some input. Per Toyota you need to take the door off, but that still wont really help.

I am the second owner of my 2005 sport edition and have all the service records and books from day one and I have updated as I service it, here's the kicker the guy ordered it with leather interior from the dealer and it has the scoop.

Lube your steering shaft yoke and u-joints just use some WD-40 there are 2 u-joints and that should do it. I have done it several times on my 03 and on my 05.

Sorry was unable to load picture So here is the craigslist link. It was a easy job to do also. 4Runner headlight assemblies - auto parts - by owner - vehicle...

Well it has been awhile since I have posted but I just have to share this. Yesterday I saw a post on Craigslist for free $runner headlight assemblies for 4th generation right by my house. So I picked them up know that they needed buffed out. But I want them to see how easy it was to black them...

Had the drives brake piston stuck, replaced brakes, calipers and rotors and sway bar bushings plus lubed the drive shafts.

Here is the link on how to do it. www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/108176-write-up-how-disable-bypass-tpms.html

It takes at the most 10 minuets to disable and the go get a tire pressure gage and check once a month or so or just go to any tire shop and they do it for free.

Welcome home

what makes you move from ATL to SEA. I lived in Jonesboro and finally I am back home 18 years later.

I just got back from Johannesburg for training and saw the Fortuner there with the 5 speed diesel and I want one so bad here in America. By the way Johannesburg is very great place and I do plan on going back but want to go to Cape town this time.

Well I had to go to South Africa for training and there were a lot of cool vehicles there Hilux's, Ford ranger's but the Fortuner is their version of the 4Runner and most were diesel 5 speeds I wish I could get one here they are awesome.
