Ouch! The dreaded transfer case actuator leak. Not cheap, not easy to fix.
I got lucky and had the whole actuator replaced at the dealer under warranty the first week I had my 4Runner. Would have been a hefty price to pay otherwise.
I have gotten a ton of PM requests for pictures of the undercarriage. I just stuck my camera under it this morning to try to take a few shots, hopefully these will work for some of you guys. As you can see there is some surface rust on some of the skid plates etc. and the rails. None of it is...

What is it about BMW's and 4Runners? I had 3 BMW's before I bought mine.
Yea..... I wasn't 100% serious on that one. Probably not a good idea to yank the front drive shaft. I did do it every summer on my 1998 Grand Cherokee V8 - OH GOD was that a fun car to drive in 2WD in the summer time.
Again... different times I know... different transfer case in the T4r, lots...
Feel insulted by the U.S. Legal system...... that is what allowed everyone to sue Toyota for being morons who did not know how to drive........ essentially the ones who forced Toyota to say "ahhh ok.... it was the floormats".
