checked fluid. was a little low, so brought it btwn the L and H lines. engine was stone cold fired it up, every thing was normal. no grumble plugged in my OBDII connector and ran Torque Pro, no fault codes, no nothing. i'll try scooping up some injector cleaner and run that next if that...

haven't gotten any lights on the dash, but i haven't plugged in an OBDII to see if anything is on the computer. that's a good place to start i'll keep an eye on the coolant. i always thought that the rumble on cold starts is def showing of the coolant leak. is it also during a hot start? it...

hey all. tried searching for this topic, but only found stuff for 3rd gen and previous (and the sticky for the google 4th gen search is gone?...) recently i've noticed that in the mornings, the truck starts fine. couple of cranks, it roars up, and stays in the mid 1k rev range drive around...

thanks for the outlook on it. when i take it back to the shop (i don't blame them for their dismissal of the problem. maybe i didn't explain it well to them) what kind of tests should they be doing it to it? i know a few things about mechanics and the workings of a combustion engine, but the...

how did you mess it up? i was just up there the other day regreasing the tracks and pulled it apart.

when i first got my 4runner, my girlfriend and i went from austin to Big Bend. camped and did the river road out there for 3 days. such an awesome experience. that drive was 8hrs out and 8hrs back, plus the 3 days of "offroading" (there are some soft spots for sure. nothing that the stock 03...

nice vid! can you link to this 110 amazon awning you're talking about? if it's the same one you have on in the video, looks pretty legit.

how much did the window tinting cost you? been meaning to have this done on mine and just looking for a ballpark figure from someone. just the fronts to have them match the rears.

just as a heads up, there is a way to get rid of that warning screen that you have to touch to get to the main menu: YouTube did that, and it makes everything that much better i love my HU. it was the first thing i did when i got my truck

i got one in the quicksand color with black screws. i get compliments on it all the time.
