TPMS Light on I have the dashboard TPMS light staying on all the time and have had it reset with the code reader at the tire installation place. It was on prior to purchasing a set of new tires. The light came on after the installation and the tire shop said I had a bad TPMS sensor and needed...

Transmission Temperature Gauge I am considering purchasing a trans temp gauge for my '04 4runner. It has the V-8 with tow package, so I know I have the external trans cooler located just in front of the radiator. I looked in owners manual and there is no temp gauge in the dash. I plan on towing...

Tire Follow up I went ahead and purchased the Michelin LTX M/S2's and love them. I have 7,000 miles on them and just had them rotated. I was able to get them for about $130/tire including lifetime mounting/balancing with 12 months no interest. The ride is very smooth and quiet. I had them for...

Transmission Cooler I have a 2004 V8 4.7 liter 4Runner with the factory tow package, but am having some problems confirming that I have an auxillary transmission cooler. I have gone to two Toyota dealerships and they tried looking up my VIN number and can't tell me if I have one or not. Is the...

CXS...That's exactly what I was talking about. Any recommendations for which manufacturer to go with and if I need a lift? kevinpt...Can you give me some more info on these air bags for the springs. Is this easy to install? Where do I get something like that? I don't want to sacrifice a nice...

I am experiencing a similar issue. I feel like the tranny jerks just a bit from a stopped position after applying acceleration. I had the tranny checked and its full of fluid. I don't think the tranny is slipping, its more of a small jerk and performs fine. I am thinking maybe its the...

I have a question regarding towing on my 2004 V8 4Runner. I have the factory tow hitch that is rated @7,000lbs. I would like to tow a camping trailer well within this capacity. My question is do I need to upgrade my springs/shocks or even a lift kit? I see a lot of posts on here with aftermarket...

WXman....I never said anything about wanting an AT tire. Reread my post. I said there were some posters mentioning the Toyo, Dunlop and BFG, but do not know if they even make an ALL Season tire?

Just to clarify, I want to purchase a set of "ALL SEASON" tires, not "ALL TERRAIN. As far as I see it , the Cooper AT3's sound like they reference an All Terrain tire. Again, the most important qualities I am looking for are: no road noise, good in rain/snow and durability. An all season tire...

I meant the Michelin LTX M/S2 is $50 more a tire than the Bridgestone Dueler Alenza I was looking at brand new. I think I may just go to NTB and purchase the Michelin LTX M/S2's. They have 12 months no interest and a $50 rebate with a set of 4 and will price match. I can find the lowest price at...

The Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza is the tire I was thinking of replacing the Michelin Cross Terrain's with. It is an all season, not all terrain tire from what their website says. Anyone have these tires? Looks like a nice looking/riding tire...

zopperman...What size are the tires you are selling, how much tread is left and what do you want for them? I looked at getting a set of the Michelin LTX M/S2's but they were a lot more money ($50/tire). I don't know much about the Toyo or Nitto and they are not very accessible around here. May...

I am in the process of purchasing a new set of tires for my 2004 Limited 4R 4.7 liter V8. I have Michelin Cross Terrain 110S rated and looking for something with a nice quiet ride. I don't do any offroading and am looking for and all season $50K/yr tire. I am looking at replacing them with...

Looking into interchanging some OEM 17" rims from Gen5 to a Gen4? Does this have the same bolt pattern and are they interchangeable? Tires are P265/65-17. I just like the newer rims on the Limited 4R Gen5. Best place to get a set of 4?

I am looking at purchasing an '04 4R Limited with a 4.7 liter V-8. It has a factory tow package (not sure if its a class III or IV) and the owner's manual indicates the towing capacity at 7,000#'s and tongue at 700#'s. When I searched for class III type hitches, the max tow capacity is 5,000#'s...
