Brilliant good to know ..... Thanks!

Wow old thread - Anyway I've a 2000 manual transmission 4WD (near mint) but have good solid rubber mats but moved to the salt belt so ideally want mats that can catch the snow/salt... these look good but not sure if the clutch would hit the mat and also someone mentioned moisture collecting...

Apparently the cotter pins are 5/32... so generic I guess works... does material matter ?... silly question I guess but I was going to pick up stainless steel ....

Thanks RE 04005-02235 contains 2 LBJs I just can find the individual Part #s in the packaging.... Looking at other threads for 3rd Gen 1996-2000 use a flanged bolt Part #90080-10066 2001-2002 use a bolt and washer Part #90119-10933. When I put 90119-10933 for my 2000 3rd gen VIN it says not...

For 2000 4runner LBJs does the package 04005-02235 contain both Left Side 43340-39465 and Right Side 43330-39585 ? (I realize the package has 2 LBJs I'm assuming these 2 parts ?) I guess also + 8X 43340-39465 +2X 90171-A0005 ?- Not sure if these are needed? do I need to purchase cotter pins...

Thanks - appears pretty straight forward - looks like a good couple of hrs work and cover exhaust to avoid burning it off... hopefully it will have some effect

I have a 3rd Gen 4runner currently mechanically in top shape and zero rust (as sitting in NM and AZ for most of it's life) - relatively low miles anyway I've brought it over to NYC and am scared about the salt destroying the car - I only use it currently on the weekends ....my thought is just to...

Quick update - drove the car~ 100 miles - monitors were reset - passed inspection fine - no problems with car since the inital issue cleared. One thing I neglected to mention that initially I tried to drive the car with my fuel pump cut-off switch on - I forgot it was on - anyway I din't think...

Thanks for the replys - Fingers crossed - I'll do the 'drive cycle' tomorrow (hopefully without incident) and then see if the code drops off etc .....One way to kill a couple of hrs anyway......

Hello...I've got a related issue - I turned my car on one morning and within a minute of normal driving the check engine light went on - then I noticed the coolant temp steadily rising whilst I was driving gently. anyway before it hit the red line (and after waiting an hr) I took it to a shop...

Update I also found the coil pack was also bad (engine inconsistently misfired after plug replaced when accelerating fairly hard but otherwise normal) so I fixed it and the engine is now running normally. Going through the posts on the various threads it seems that for something like I had, the...

Thanks. SOLVED I managed to get someone to look at it and apparently a spark plug was installed with cracked insulation. One the simplest things it could have been fortunately. It was under warranty so $0 total. Nice Drives at 90% now which is good enough for me

OK - I have a developed a sputtering on acceleration. Here's the details. 2000 SR5 manual ~ 116K miles - Had sparks and wires replaced 800 miles ago (3 weeks ago) - typically I only put ~ 3000 miles a year on this vehicle but I went for a long drive. - I Noticed an intermittent misfire about...

Thanks for the extra feedback; Cheers

hmmm I was expecting more negative comments; maybe 4000 lbs total is OK then. My understanding is that a manual transmission is better for towing as well. Clutch was replaced at around 80K miles I think.
