Some of the other solutions mentioned are probably better, but i just broke out my hot glue gun. Its been about a year and a half, no problems..

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.. But I pulled the center console and most of the dash apart the other weekend, and visually everything looked fine. I had wanted to find the other end of those wires so that I could do a continuity test on them, but I have no idea where they go.. Which was...

Doh! Sorry. Could have sworn that I put that in my original post.. What a newb!! :) I've got a 1996 Limited. Its an automatic, no e-locker..

Thanks for the info about the lights, that at least gives me one more thing to go off of. And yeah, I understand that the 4 wheel drive doesn't require the ECT. Just wondering if there is maybe a sensor or a common connection they both have that would cause both of them not to work. They...

So a few months ago I did a center console swap, it was inspired by Brilliant's center console swap where he modified one with cupholders by adding switches to it.. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/98463-brilliants-mod-thread-9.html#post1252486 I did the same thing, and it went...

How about drilling a new hole in it and using a miniature little shackle...

I had some similar issues, and it was a dirty fuel injector that was getting stuck open. While the truck sat it would allow some of the remaining fuel in the fuel rail to drain down into the intake. It wouldn't happen all of the time. If something happened it tended to be just a few second of...

not sure its your problem, but when my throttle position sensor was going out it would stall sometimes at idle. it eventually threw a code. i confirmed it by monitoring my throttle position sensor with the torque app on my phone. i just had it do a line graph for the sensor, and you could see...

I have a '96 and mine died a few years ago.. Back then I didn't know about these forums, or the possible fixes.. So I just hacked up the original housing and installed a dual USB charger there.. <a data-flickr-embed="true"...

Yup, broke all mine trying to get them out. Luckily Toyota isnt too crazy with what they charge for those.. My wife had an acura and i remember them wanting almost 5 dollars a piece for the little plastic clips that jold the plasric fender well liner in!!

Just one note on cleaning the headliner. I had some water staining on my headliner because of the old sunroof leaking. While I had the headliner out to replace my sunroof I wanted to clean it, but I was worried because so many people on-line said that the cleaners can dissolve the glue and...

When I replaced my engine and radiator I went with Evans Waterless coolant. I liked the idea that you get a lot less pressure on your system, and it doesnt cause any electrolysis. I feel pretty confident with the new radiator and Evans that I wont need to worry about the pink milkshake ever...

Couldn't find the original post about extending the stock roof rails, but I did find this one.. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/218133-extended-roof-rail-thoughts.html Some people seem to think you can't do it with the stock sun roof, but I could swear that in the original article I...

i saw a post where someone did exactly that. they got another roof rack from a 4runner in the junk yard and used it to extend the stock roof rack further forward. they had to drill a couple of new holes and do some nut inserts, but it looked pretty good. ill dig around when i can and see if i...

Yeah, this is where I was frustrated, cause I just couldn't seem to find a straight answer on-line. In the following article one guy says it is an M10x1, and another says it is BSPT. Not really sure if that is the same thing or not. 5VZ-FE installing oil pressure guage - YotaTech Forums The...
