Hi, (2001 SR5 4runner 4WD) I need a 16" OEM spare, the steel wheel, with or W/O the tire. I'm also looking for running boards, they made some that had a crome strip running along the edge. PM me or email...Or reply here Thanks Doug

The difference in miles is 10K, not that much of a difference considering the difference in price, they want alot more for the fancy 02. I'd go for the SR5, for the difference in price you can fix almost anything that a mere 10,000 additional miles might have caused. Personally, I like the...

Glad it worked. The reason I advocate taking the motor apart is that those stripped teeth are still in the motor/drive gearing. The thing is full of grease and they just stay in the gears, I like to clean them out so they don't casuse trouble down the road. Doug

Sure it's a solid Toyota and a stock 4runner will take you pretty far off road, and pretty nicely on the road as well. But, as a father of grown children, I have a good idea of what your dad is saying and why. Your in college, just starting out in life, your dad has already been there and...

Truck lookw fine and I also like the runningboards, keeps the crud off the side of your truck and makes washing the roof easier.. So, I think I recognize that bridge but it's been awhile, would that be the third bridge going over to Jones Beach? I lived in Seaford during the 60's-(man do I...

I'd suggest just going with OEM unless you are into something that might be considered heavy duty like towing or steep hills. My first set of pads went over 60K and I only got them changed then because an insurance company was paying for it while they did some other work. (They were getting a...

I also have an 01 SR5, no warning tone but they do go off when I open the door. Are your DRL's working? Doug

I ended up just buying a bag of new ones for a few bucks. You can get them out using a drywall screw and pliers but they don't all come out in great shape. Or, you can always check Yotatech..LOL If you keep the antena mast oiled/greased, it will last a long time. I like having it, tree...

Own a 4runner long enough and you will have this trouble, even if you clean and lube the mast on a regular basis. I had it on both my 4runners and just recently on my daughter's Camry-(exact same motor as on the runner). Just get one of those 12 dollar masts from Ebay, pop out the little black...

My 01 has both of them up inside the front/drivers wheel well. Looks like you will need to take a trip under your truck to see what is going on... Doug

When the service department at the stealer works on a vehicle that they are going to sell, the produce an invoice/workorder that they use to basically charge-back the sales deptartment. Make sure you see a copy of it and find out what they did. I bought a used Tundra from a dealer and had them...

Reality check, LOL, >200K equals bad things can happen at any time. I'm sure you know that but I guess it just comes down to how much you like the truck and what shape everything else is in. 1.8K sounds a little high to me, I just had all six injectors changed in my wife's Sienna for 1300 from...

Panhandler, I have it also, 24-2500rpms, either sitting still or driving, I can feel it on the shift lever. I battled with Toyota when the truck was new and they gave me a 100K warr and told me it was harmonic vibration comming from the exhaust. I doubt it but so far no trouble. For me, it's...

Thanks, I found a set...
