Commercial Sales Prohibited Forum Title says it all. "Classifieds - buy & sell (no commercial ads please) " CL ad shows it as auto dealer listing.

Thread still paying off! I ordered a latch replacement from Amazon for $199 including taxes, shipping, etc. It arrived Friday, I put it in today. It was a breeze! I did have to replace the bolts holding the key lock, though. When inserting the key about two weeks ago, it fell right into the...

If it's a built truck and has a piggyback tuner, hide the tuning map selector and include a secondary tune with no fuel to the injectors. Done. They can crank, the fuel pump will run, the plugs will fire, but no-go.

Many vehicles have a sticker under the hood somewhere showing the belt routing. Take a pic of it before removing. The V8 has a line clearance near the bottom driver's side that is very close and onlynclears once the belt is completely installed and tensioned. It may not be obvious (not sure on...

If your local mechanic has a lift, try running it and turning with all 4 wheels off the ground. See if it shows up with motion, turning the wheels, or under load. At least it can be reproduced at low speeds, so a bit more reasonable to test ;)

IIRC, The max combination weight of vehicle and trailer is 12k on the V8 with WDH. If you're towing heavy loads, be sure to use WDH and put a fair amount of weight in the back of the 4Runner to keep it steady. Here's an important tip: Be sure to MATCH the size and type of tires on all 4...

Video works now. Hopefully someone has an idea about what it is. I would be looking/hoping it was suspension, but can't say...

Okay, is the confessional open? First, I'm guessing the OP's trailer is closer to 1500lbs. I have one that looks similar with a 7k rating and it's about 1500 lbs. Just guessing by the pic, of course :) I tow regularly our camper, listed at around 5300lbs dry, so more like 6500 loaded, plus...

With all due respect, once you cross that threshold of deciding to list it, you have an ethical responsibility to honor that offer. I can understand not being sure, but don't play with others' excitement to own. That being said, if you've decided to list it, sell it. You'll enjoy building the...

Not a troll... Not a troll, but maybe it's still okay to comment? It looks like you were getting pretty good advice. When I watched, your spotters seemed to say what I was thinking :D What was that coming out of the front of your 4Runner at about 17:10? Was that a 'Spiderman web?' Can't be a...

Good to hear about members having good things to share. Always try to give back when someone takes the effort to be quality and fair ;)

The 'video' goes to photobucket, I don't see any video?

Can you fill in your profile to include what year/model your 4Runner is? It can help when answering questions like tire size. For example, my 04 V8 Ltd has 17" rims and a slightly different body style from earlier and later years.

If you get a 4th Gen (2004) Limited 4Runner, the wheels are 17" rims. I run 265/70 R17 and only get the very slightest rub when turning very sharp (turning around, parking, etc). Not even enough to worry about :)

Driveshaft Clunk fix, lube tips I pulled my driveshaft off today to degrease, clean, regrease and reassemble the propeller shaft as suggested by others to eliminate (hopefully!) the driveshaft clunk problem of the 4th Gen 4Runners. Here are a few tips for anyone wanting to do this. 1. I...
