2000 4R 2wd SR5. I get a knocking noise heard only at very low speed around 10 mph or less while coasting. It seems to go away when I accelerate or come to a complete stop. At least I can't hear it then. It is a steady rapid knock and doesn't get faster or slow down with speed. Other than...

The red dash warning light that usually comes on when the parking brake is activated is beginning to flicker on and off on my 2000 SR5 2WD. The light will go off when I release the parking brake but when I make right turns or accelerate hard, the light will come back on for a few seconds and...

Just curious as to opinions whether an alignment is needed with replacement of stock shocks. I have a 2000 4R 2wd and putting the Trekmaster shocks on all four corners. The local tire shop who is putting them on is pushing an alignment for the front. I'll be using the old coils (no $ for...

Now that the tire situation has been put to rest,,, It's time to replace the shocks front and back. I'm going to go with the stock Tokico replacements but thought I saw somewhere that someone suggested an online company, SHOX.com??? Any other recommendations where I can get them online...

OEM sounds good to me. I am assuming you are checking that 35 psi cold pressure?

Happy to report that the Toyos are on the 4R and look really good. Initial reaction (after a whopping 3 miles) is that they ride smooth, turning is controlled, noise very low and track just fine. So far I'm hapy with the choice...even though I'll still be thinking about those Nittos... Any...

Local guys had to order them since they dont carry them in stock and the supply place only had 2 in stock...Said they would have to get the remaining 2 from Fresno area but would cost me extra to truck those here so I went with the Toyos. In looking at the web sites, the tires look very...

Just found out that Nittos are back-ordered here,,,guess it will have to be the Toyos. Hopefully they will be a wise choice...

Looking for opinions between these two tires for my 2000 SR5 4R. They look very similar in tread pattern but I haven't heard much about the Toyos. The cost I'm looking at is almost the same; only $10 total overall more for the Toyo. I heard great things about the Nittos and am leaning that...

My 4R is actually a 2000 SR5 but the diagram looks promising,,,guess I got a project for the weekend! Thanks guys!

Have been getting a constant sweak from the fan in dashboard when its run in the low and medium position. Doesn't matter if its with the heater or with the AC. It disappears when I turn it on high. Kinda pain though to drive around all the time with it on high... Question is whether I can...

I also looked at the LTX AT/2 but it is a Load Range E in the LT configuration...isn't that defeating the purpose of staying with the load range C?

Thanks guys for the input. I have had some experience with the older version of the LTX AT several years ago on a Jeep GC and was happy with them. But with the change of tread design, wasn't sure how the new one performs, especially with the load range E. Sounds like Thai has done some...

Looking at all the choices for new tires but I've become a little concerned about what load range may be best. I currently have a load range D on my 2000 4R 2wd and like the ride I have. Not too harsh but feels solid. Tire size is 265/75R 16. Questions arise when looking at the choices...

4Runnersurf, I read the writeup but don't quite understand where the changing of JUST the light from green to blue comes in. Did you keep the OEM face and JUST change the lights? What kind of look does that give you? Any photos of it? Did you use an LED light or standard? I might give that...
