Mike, We have homes in both places. But moving from Minnesota now permanently to our Colorado place so its an all new situation!

Thanks for the input guys! And JB, thanks for all the excellent info!

Guys, Could use your counsel! Due to unexpected relocation this life-long Minnesota city boy with the gentrified 2005 4R and original Bridgestone Dueler H/T tires is suddenly going to find himself in the mountains, living at 7000 feet. on a four mile long gravel/dirt road which goes up 1000...

Guys--wondering if a couple of you experts might weigh in here and help a guy who is a little uncertain? I did a search but didn't come up with the answer to these questions. My 2005 2WD 6 cylinder 4Runner time for the 30,000 mile maintenance is approaching. I called the local Toyota dealer and...

One thing to remember, however. No matter how much gas is left in the tank (as calculated by how many gallons it takes to refill), the crucial question is how much of that remaining gasoline in the tank can be picked up and used by the vehicle... and conversely how much will still be left...

Hey guys, Thanks! You are the best, as always. If you run across any more sites that you are impressed with, let me know. And thanks for the warnings about the age difference of forum posters on each respective forum and what it means in terms of content and tone of forum. I was hoping to find...

Guys, My wife is looking to buy a (gasp!) Honda Civic--she thinks the 4Runner is too big for her...hey, fine with me! That means it will be around more for me! But I have gotten so much out of this forum and wondering if any of you have a reference for what you would consider to be the best...

Guys, Just wondering if your back window wiper is totally useless? We have used the thing probably 4 or 5 times in the two years that we have had the vehicle and each time it essentially doesn't do anything but smear parts of the window until it can't be seen through and miss the other parts of...

I would certainly be interested in hearing any answers as well, since I have exactly the same problems constantly. The buttons on the remote are constantly being pushed even when the remote is just sitting in my pockets.

Is the Sunroof Open...? So this conversation has piqued my curiosity, and maybe someone can chime in here. I have the 2005 and one of the things that seems unfathomable to me is that, with mine, you never actually know if the roof is open or tilted. There is no lighted warning, of course. And...

Okay, I did it! I actually put in the scion hu with only one "small" problem--the rear defrost doesn't seem to work anymore when I got done. Hmmm, must have left something unplugged in there? Or maybe we don't need it in Minnesota. Anyway.... Anyway, I was playing with the sound on the system...

Hey, can anyone tell me--the instructions for removal by castulucci are for removing the navigation unit. Do the exact same instructions applying for a unit with only CD but without navigation? Thanks!

Pipspeak, You're a hero! Thanks a million!

Guys, I must have been insane but I let you guys talk me into not only making my first purchase ever on eBay (yes, I am a little behind the times!) but also making that purchase the T1807 Scion HU. Now I am going to have to up the insanity one level and try to install this thing! But I am...

OK, never mind. Feeling a little silly here. Turns out the fuse box diagram is not in the manual, it is inscribed on the underside of the fuse box lid. Found the fuse--sure 'nuff, it is blown again. Mmmmm, now I wonder if the prodigy wiring harness got zapped and consequently blows the fuse...
