    General cold weather driving tips?

    THIS. Some call it hot dogging, play around whatever. I've been driving in winter conditions my whole life and at the beginning of every snow season I find a safe open snowy or icy parking lot and let loose. I find it gets my familiar with how my vehicle reacts when pushed and passes its...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    I could be wrong but it seems your code consists of the numbers 5, 3 and 2. If I'm right then the smudges give it away, if I'm wrong I may be going blind.lol

    FJ Easy Strut Lift?

    Did this today. Had a bad strut mount so decided to replace both strut assemblies. Funds are tight so decided to go with the lowest cost option for now and maybe next year upgrade again when job prospects are better. All the same got 1.5 inches of lift in the front. I'm sure this may settle over...

    What did everyone pay for their 4th gen?

    This time last year I purchased my 2005 V6 Sport. 135000km (84000miles) one owner, dealer serviced. All it needed was a hand brake cable for inspection. $6000.00 No really bad rust issues but the tailgate is developing signs of rusting and I already replace the tailgate window regulator.

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    I love seeing the underside of a non rusted southern 4runner. There's very few that clean left up here in Canada. It sucks knowing that my truck wont die on me so much as rust away.

    Not your normals rear window problem. SERENITY NOW!!

    So I am a complete loss as to what is going on with my window. Once I initialize the tailgate functions I get my defrost, wiper and wash functions back but if I try to lowering the window I lose it all again. Doesn't matter if I try to lower the window with the button, key or fob, everything on...

    Poor FM Reception After Head Unit Upgrade

    I know when I upgraded my head unit that the space was behind it is pretty tight. Might be worth it to remove it and make sure that nothing came unplugged while jamming everything back there. As far as the Y adapter is concerned I know its not necessary so you might try taking that out of the...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Replace Door lock actuator motor Since I bought my used 2005 Sport it has been annoying me that the drivers side rear door lock wouldn't work. I was always opening the front door and reaching in to unlock the door....pain in the ass. The cost of a replacement actuator is 200 to 300 dollars in...

    Not your normals rear window problem. SERENITY NOW!!

    My only issue is the operation of lifting and lowering the rear window. After installing my stereo and hooking the battery back up I had to reinitialize the tailgate functions by holding the window up button for approx 15 sec. At this point the defrost, wiper and wash functions returned but...

    Not your normals rear window problem. SERENITY NOW!!

    Anything is possible but I never even opened the tailgate to install anything so I'm pretty positive I never messed anything up inside the door near the window. The only time I popped open the tailgate was when I unplugged the ECU trying to solve the issue.
