    The old sagging rear end.....

    I did the recall about a year ago (I work for a Toyota dealer :D ) and it is still not what it should be. I do believe I will be going w/ the PP springs.

    The old sagging rear end.....

    I am planning on doing some suspension mods/uprgrades to my 97 2wd sr5, and was contemplating the "pre-runner" look. I'm starting to get the ugly "sag" look to the rear end on the 4runner, so I was gonna do all 4 shocks and springs. I have read about the 99 4x4 springs (w/ 16" tire option)...

    This dadgum 4 runner is making me rethink newer toyotas.

    I'd agree w/ you on this, but all 4runners are Japan built. Friday doesn't seem to make the differance there like it does here on the US built Camrys. :biggrin2: As far as your "issues" w/ your truck, ......go get a code pulled from the ECU and start there. Hell, they'll hook it up for free...

    Wtb: 96-98 Oem Fog Lights

    Toyota Showing Achilles Heel

    Agreed. The dealer I work for is family owned and oriented. We are on the outskirts of Houston and needless to say, there are some 8-10 other "Toyota only" stores within a short driving distance, but most of our customers are repeat and local, as well as referred from family and friends. Very...

    very true, you need to have a decent staff @ your local dealer, otherwise, it`s a constant uphill battle....

    Spark plugs

    yes, use only the denso factory plugs. p# 90919-01192. they are roughly $2-3 a plug @ the dealer. 9 out of 10 times, when a 3.4 comes in the the shop (actually any toyota that requires a twin electrode plug) for a misfire code, guess what....non o.e. plugs. there may be a toyota option for the...
