OK guys, that pretty much answers the question. Appreciate all the quick responses. Pretty sure there will be holes under there. I can live with the flares. Thanks again. Ed

It's just capitalism at work, friends. We all should just give thanks that we already have one of these. On the bright side, they are a valuable asset right now if you need the cash more than the car. I am seriously considering selling mine (yes, for as much as possible) because I have a...

I think I may have the answer, but wanted to double check with people smarter than myself. Are the 3rd gen fender flares removable without leaving holes or other signs of having been there? I've been toying with the idea of removing them. I have an '01 SR5 completely stock and the silver...

My new mechanic who I think has finally fixed my 4Runner with the same issue of VSC TRAC and VSC OFF lights (though I did have CEL on) told me that for reasons which I forget and didn't really understand, the VSC lights go on with a lot of codes and the fault is not necessarily, (perhaps not...

Thank you all, guys. I am leaning toward a water pump issue, because it has been about 16 years since it was installed! Just curious, and forgive my ignorance, but with the truck having been examined by two separate dealers, wouldn't a water pump issue be readily obvious, or does it need to...

Mysterious overheating 2001 4Runner I have had a similar prob with my 4Runner. Overheating on long uphill climbs (not necessarily steep) and/or after engine has been running at least an hour at highway speeds. Has happened twice while on the highway. Both times truck was not particularly...
