Leak down test is a good idea. We had discussed this if the engine started missing again. It's been missing again, but I haven't had a chance to take it back to the shop. To your point, the injector we replaced in #3 was a used injector. And to add another data point... I pulled the most...

Is the flashing CEL an indicator of a misfire(ing) that is so bad that results in unburned fuel in the cat? Or that it's just a misfire? I always thought it was the latter, but then the former makes sense since I can tell when it's missing but no CEL flashing or illumination. I'd say 8 out of...

No, has never overheated during my ownership. Cooling system is in good health. It is losing very little to no coolant at all. I don't drive it much these days and when I do check fluids, everything has always been at acceptable levels. Will do. No excess smoke, besides in the morning which I...

Just wanted to get some advice on what would be the next reasonable step. Long story short, I have a 99 Limited 4x4 Auto with E-Locker, 247K miles on the clock. Wife and I have had great memories in it. Over the past 8 months, I've put in around $4500 in parts and labor for a ton of deferred...

Looking for a set of knobs, one for each rear set. You pull on them to release the seat from the striker to lay the back end of the seat down. My dog chewed on mine. Thanks.

Just put in 890s and the OME Comfort 60028 in the rear for my 99 T4R, good amount of rake, a lot stiffer in the back. But anyways, i'm now looking into lifting the front, but I'd like to keep a small amount of rake. I don't do any crawling, but just long cramping/backcountry trips where i'm...

Hmm, I was worried about that. User t4runner604 http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/108514-bilstein-5100-part.html runs with the Bilstein's and stock springs, but no plate bumper.

More questions about the front Seems as most people here get their rigs lifted for some serious crawling and flexing, looks really fun but i've always just used my trucks for long trails, washboards...back country stuff. Lippincott Mine in Death Valley is typical grade I encounter. That being...

Beautiful, thanks guys!

Hey ya'll, just a quick question. Just ordered both OME 890 Springs and OME 60028 Comfort Shocks for my rear 99 T4R 4x4 Ltd. I'm unsure about the amount of lift I'll get from it since I'm already running with 99 Tall Springs, but thats not really my concern. Will I need to get extended brake...

Hey guys, right now I have just stock suspension on my ride and it doesn't sag when it's not loaded with any cargo. Once I do put some weight on the back, you can definitely see the sag. My previous desert/mountain ride was a Tacoma so I'd like to get the T4R near that height. I do like the...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll look into the fuel pump (which was kind of my first thought to begin with). Sounds like my idle is normal then it is indeed 600rpm on warm start up.

Hi guys, I have a 99 5VZ-FE 4WD whose having some starting issues. It has 93K miles on it, I just bought it recently and I don't have service history other than a new battery back in 07/2010 and a timing belt/water pump replacement back at 70k. So it takes like a good 2-3 seconds to crank...
