    Intermittent vehicle/engine shake and vibration with check engine light present

    Well you will want to get a mechanic's manual first. Haynes or Chilton's at minimum. It isn't difficult and it really depends on which injector you have to replace. The previous owner had the dealer replace the #3 injector and a month later the #4 was giving the error code. I chose to replace...

    Intermittent vehicle/engine shake and vibration with check engine light present

    Since the CEL comes on, it would be best for you to invest in a code reader. I bought my 1999 4Runner a couple of months ago and it had a very similar problem. Severe front end shake when stopped. The reader said it was a Cyl 4 misfire and I ended up replacing the fuel injector to fix it.

    Rear hatch won't lock

    I just purchased this vehicle a few weeks ago. Yes, there is a dent in the back hatch. Like someone backed into something. No scratches or paint removal like you would expect with a high energy impact. Yes, I think this would be my issue. Thanks Gamefreak.

    Rear hatch won't lock

    I just noticed my rear hatch doesn't always latch completely. I think my hatch struts are pretty much shot and I am looking to replace them. On mine, I think the struts may be causing a misalignment if I don't put even pressure on each end of the door. That is to say, it doesn't always latch...

    3rd gen rear lower control arm

    I'm not really qualified to answer this, but a clue resides in your question. Many folks seem pretty convinced that aftermarket items, particularly suspension parts are taboo. Since you state the original part lasted 16 years and a new aftermarket part lasted only 1 year, it would be wise to...

    Found a Rebuilt/Reman Fuel Injector Source

    That seems like a good deal. I just spent $299 for six from Five0 motorsports.

    How many miles on your 4runner?

    Suspension components, replacement

    Thank you for this information. I can't do the work myself, but I do want to make it easier for the installer by making sure it is literally a 'bolt in' operation with components that are well matched. I think I will go with a kit and have the LBJ's replaced at the same time.

    Suspension components, replacement

    I would like to freshen up the suspension on my 1999 4runner. It is 2wd and was wondering if the OME96024R from ToyTech would be a good option. With front/ rear springs and shocks/ struts for $980. I was thinking of Bilstein 4600's, but this looks like a complete kit. I don't want to add much...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    <Fiveomotorsport.com> Paid $49.99 ea. These are remanufactured, not new injectors. Maybe that's why O'Reilly's have a higher price?

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    1999 T4R, 2wd. Replaced 6 fuel injectors (reman from Five'O'). Replaced battery with an Optima 800 CCA size 34R. I just purchased this truck last week. It was running extremely rough due to a cyl 4 misfire (P0304 code). The fuel injector has an open circuit, so I replaced all of them. Toyota...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I just got a T4R a few days ago and ordered some parts to start wrenchin' so I can go truckin'. Misfire in cyl 4, makes for some rough idling. I ordered new (reman) injectors and ignition coils to smooth it out. The tires have 100k miles on them, so they need to be replaced. I want to do the...
