    Toyota 4runner frame rust being looked at by feds

    My 03 just failed inspection for this. I am having a welder patch it in a few places so it is passable. I hope to get at least 1 more year. Id love it if this frame recall or whatever goes through. Maybe I will be lucky and 03 will be included. I have serious doubts though...

    XREAS replacement - what's the simplest solution?

    What is a rough guess on the cost at a shop of deleting the XREAS and adding just bilsteins? Maybe springs too?

    Gear (diff) oil?

    I just did mine recently... I go for Mobil 1 75w-90 in all 3. OME gaskets form the dealer are the way to go.

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    NEW TIRES!!! Toyo Open Country AT II's Washed, waxed and detailed the interior! For a vehicle that is 15 years old with 208K, she sure cleans up nice!

    VSC TRAC, VSC OFF and ABS lights on

    The scan tool I borrowed at Advance Auto Parts told me exactly which sensor it was on the display. Strange yours just said "A". I did end up buying another scan tool. It is Actron. I do not recall the model but this scan tool worked and gave me the same results. I will keep this one. The...

    Probably a Stupid Question

    But I am going to ask it anyways... I am going to get new tires soon. I plan to get an alignment. They offer a free front wheel alignment but charge for 4 wheel. Do I need a 4 wheel alignment?

    Anyone taken any long road trips?

    Nothing incredibly long. My 4Runner has 208K and I dont hesitate to take it anywhere. Most weekends I usually go out camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, skiing etc at various places around Maine that are about an hour to maybe 3 hours away. The longest I have driven it is down to Rhode Island...

    Toyota 4runner frame rust being looked at by feds

    I just found out I need $1750 worth of work on mine. I also need tires before winter. If this frame buyout happens, I would hod on to it for sure. At this point, I am considering trading it in. I have 205K on an 03 with a rusty frame. I cant imagine the trade in will be that great. I am...

    Bosch Scan 1150?

    I really do appreciate the feedback. I started this thread for the code reader. It kind of evolved in to the lights/abs sensor. I have tried the ZPC in the past with no luck. I will give it another shot though. Cant hurt...

    Bosch Scan 1150?

    A repair for the right front speed sensor? This does not make sense to me. When I replace the sensors, the lights do go away for awhile. However our vehicles are quirky. Can anyone confirm this. I do not want to bother with it if it is not the cause of the problem.
