I had it done but I'm sure they didn't do the frame's interior. It is what it is. just hit 388K and its as strong as ever, but slowly dying.

Mine is dying a slow death from the freakin road salt and frost heaves here in Maine. Been here 3 yrs. First two I had a company car and rarely drove my 4Runner. This winter I’m back to using it as a daily driver. Had a thumping sound happen last week. Rear shock mount gone. Rocker panel now...

Mine was leaking and lucky for me it was just a buildup of crud around the inside edge of the roof where the gasket contacted. I really thought it was gonna be a ***** at first. Very relieved it was just crud.

I own my truck and mpg's are something I gave up on checking awhile back. I figure if I'm not making a payment and I totally trust this truck, fuel mileage doesn't bother me as bad as it used to. That being said, I took a trip a month or two ago to see my son. Just for shits and giggles, I...

Brake pressure seems fine. I'm gonna keep paying attention to it. I'm not convinced it's done it since I've had it. I feel Like I'm pretty in tune to this truck and this is definitely new.

Ok, surprised I've never heard it before. Thanks.

Hey guys! Long time no visit for me. I evidently bought a good Runner years ago cause I've had minimal problems with it. This problem I caused. When I put new calipers on it, I broke the bolt holding the brake lines to the steering knuckle and never replaced it. On friday I noticed a leak that...

I didn't have a part number but saw it on several threads. I was hopin to just go to a wreckin yard and get the whole deal and neeed what model Taco worked. Thanks again.

Got this afternoon off and I really need to put a new antenna on my truck. I've searched several old threads and can't find one that says what year of a Taco to swipe the assembly from. I assumed it similar years as our 3rd gens but wanted to be sure. Thanks

I'm not throwing any codes nor have i ever since I've had this truck, 3 yrs plus. Just need/want better performance. I don't trust the shop here in town, small town America, as they have bible quotes all over the place but if you ask them to cut off your cat, they get all quiet and ask "Who's...

I'm getting ready for a trip next friday and don't have time to totally do a new aftermarket cat. I was hoping to cut the old stock cat off and replace with a length of exhaust pipe just until I get back and have a new one put on. I know several here have cut their's off and several more have...

And the winner is...... ...jgeorg. My daughter picked your number bud. PM me your addy and they'll soon be on their way. Thanks for everyone's interest. Forever grateful to the T4R crowd for all the help in the past! You all ROCK :guitar2:

I've got 6 issues starting at sep/oct 2011 thru july/aug 2012. I'm not gonna be back on here till tomorrow night. If any one wants them, just post and I'll put your name in a hat and draw one out tomorrow evening after work. If only one person wants them, they're yours. Pretty easy. I'll pay...

FF69, Month and a half later. Wonderin if your mileage changed any since your last post? Or anything else.

Don't know why but it always helps mine if I take the key out and turn it over. Never paid attention if I put the key in the same way or if it happens on both sides.
