Well I just changed the fluid in all the gear boxes and doing so I removed the front skid plates. This has brought me to some questions: 1. The front cross member was filled with dirt. I mean packed. I ran a garden hose in several of the openings in order to clean it out. This took about 20...

Welcome, I am fairly new here. Seems like a good group. Congrats on the runner. I also have the 03 V8 SR5. I purchased it with 20,000 on it. It now has 61,000. Up until know I have only changed the oil and rotated the tires. I just changed the oil in both diffs and the t-case. Fairly easy...

Thai, The arowanas grow fast. They will eat everything.

Thanks John. That propeller must be part of the TRD package.

I have just reached 60,000 miles with my 03 runner V8 and I am trying to figure out if I am capable of the maintenance. I have done routine maintenance on all of my previous vehicles, but this is my first toyota and it is a little more complicated then my previous jeeps and blazers. Looking to...

No, but that is without knowing the specifics of what you are towing and where. If you are towing a trailer that is near the max capacity and you are spending most of the time in the southwest, 100+ degrees, maybe. Granted I am not a chemical engineer, but from my experience I see way too...

Not exactly. Like these:

Looking for four 17" OEM wheels for 03 and up 4 runner. Preferably sport edition.

Nice looking ride. I have an 03 runner sr5 V-8 and have been curious about the FJ since it's debut. Anything else about the FJ you did not like? Did you find visibility to be an issue? How about head room? I am not that tall, 6 ft, and lack of headroom is the only issue I have with the...

I am just about to hit 60,000 miles on my 03 4runner SR5 V-8 and I am curious about what maintenance is recommended? I purchased it used, certified at a dealership, with about 20,000 miles on it almost three years ago. The owners manual does not really recommend anything more than inspect...

SE MI SE Michigan also, Washtenaw County. Looking for some good offroading spots? DJ

Funny, I put my 4runner up for sale two weeks ago due to this very fact. I am sick of being gouged at the pump! Currently driving a Ford Focus that gets 30 about mpg. As far as the selling goes I have had no offers and it is below KBB. Go figure. 03 4runner SR5 V-8 59,000 miles New...

I also have the 03 runner w/ the V-8. I noticed the same thing about lack of recoverability from the rear. I bought a a hook that is rated at 15,000 lbs (even though the V-8 is only rated at towing 6,000) from a local hauling company that inserts into the hitch. I was looking for the D-ring...
