    What have you guys done with your fog lights?

    Sorry for the throwback question but how do you adjust/aim the stock fog lights? I crawled under but see no screws or adjustment points. I have one light that points about 4' lower than the other and would like to even them out. (I got to this thread through a search but nothing else came up...

    4runner mystery problem

    several options: plugged cat as mojo mentioned (easily tested by driving in 2nd gear, mid revs for @ 5 minutes, climb under and see if it is glowing redish. (not all together scientific but it did help me diagnose my vw a few years ago) plugged air filter/ air inlet. Make sure your intake...

    dash connector ID?

    thanks I was thinking it might be something else for the 4wd but could not come up with what. Looking at pics of other 4R's, your call on the 110v switch makes sense. Thanks

    Buying from a private seller

    I did the very same kind of thing for a friend. He had his car up for sale and then got deployed (during the 1st Gulf war). He really wanted the car sold so he signed the required paperwork and I handled the deal from there. Everything was on the up and up. I am not saying your deal is...

    I would have to agree with Nuke, I have the TRD CAI on mine and noticed that a side effect seems to be a correlation between my ear and right foot (my ear likes the notes that my right foot makes when pushed down ;) )

    4Runner vs. BMW X3 comparison

    I have owned 5 VW's (4-GTI's ranging from '82 Mk1 GTI up thru a '96 VR6 and 1-2000 Jetta). With the exception of the Jetta, I will have to disagree with you about the quality. My GTI's were all rock solid. Then came the 2000 Jetta. What a POS!!! Before the thing hit 12kmi it had 3 new CV...

    4Runner vs. BMW X3 comparison

    This is my first ‘useful’ post. I put the useful part in quotes since it will really only be useful to someone looking to compare the differences between an X3 and the 4th Gen 4R. Anyway, if it helps someone out all the better. This thread will note my thoughts on the pros/cons between my...
