Update! I've updated my first post

I didn't write the mileage down before and after but I doubt anything happened under their watch as I had an issue beforehand. I'm pretty sure they're giving me a new transmission just for the fact that I doubt it's economical for them to rebuild our faulty transmissions due to the limited...

"That sucks man! Did you notice ANY of these problems BEFORE taking it to the body shop?? Also, isn't the powertrain covered by the 60 month, 60,000 mile warranty?? Are they replacing the transmission or just trying to rip it apart and piece it back together?" Yeah... tell me about it...

fyi guys, I ordered the 4300k kit March 15 and have yet to receive it. I was told that they were getting a shipment in late March but got a response to an email I sent out yesterday stating that "We had anticipated the delivery of the goods last week, but it seems now it is more likely that it...

So my transmission is a goner; 06 v8 2wd 46kmiles***UPDATE*** positive note So I drive home to pick my 4runner from the body shop from getting a new front bumper. The body shop mechanic mentioned to me that the transmission was a bit funky and that I should go to the toyota dealership to have...

wait a second, will this fix the craptastic audio quality (in the case of an ipod) or just the scratchiness? I was looking to get a new deck so I can hook my ipod up as I only use the stock input in desperate times

Well, my parents have a 2005 solara and it has a button to push to reset the tire pressure monitor. So maybe the 4runner does as well? Mine's in a shop otherwise I would have checked mine before I posted.

I have the v8 and my buddy has an 03 v6. He floors it all the time and it's plenty fast. This is with the older 4-speed tranny and prior to the 35? hp boost. One thing I do like about my v8 is that it has the transmission cooler and the v6 models do not. And for the v8 'sound,' I don't know...

Here are some pictures of the bumper and of the front end. They are both banged up a good bit but you can get a good idea where possible connection points are by looking at the pictures of the bumper. http://s702.photobucket.com/albums/ww23/budenski/front%20bumper/

Since you're in colorado, i would suggest you use a blow dryer to heat up the adhesive to soften it up a bit then use dental floss. I recently debadged my 4runner and it was a pain in the butt due to it being cold so i pulled up closer to my apartment and heated up the emblems for 15-30...

haha, thanks guys. Well, it looks better than my FUBARed bumper, but it kind of sucks getting weird looks. But then again, I saw a 4runner without the driver's side rear window and the roof dented in due a tree falling on top of it. So I guess I made out better than that guy in this fluke...

There are 6 or 8 bolts at the bottom of your bumper that attach it the rest of the vehicle. There are also 2? brackets that attach your bumper to your fender?. I know for sure there are those bolts at the bottom which are 10mm. I only know this because I hit a pine tree recently and...
