I'm not a fan of the 2010 5th gen edition as of yet. Reasons: 1- Prices are too high for a vehicle that gets the same gas mileage as my 2004 V6 model. 2- The interior plastics do look cheap and will marred easily as stated early. 3- It appears Toyota skimmed some rear seat leg room in order...

I have 40k miles on my V6 and the pinging is getting louder. It sounds like a rod knocking nowadays. Almost like one of those old, ragged Chrysler engines from back in the 80's. If I get roll down the window and accel hard next to a wall then you can hear it knocking loudly. I'm thinking of...

LOL...... I agree wholeheartly! The dude was supposed to be tough on immigration. NOT! More and more and more from all different countries continue to show up. --He was suppose to put Califunky's economy back on top. NOT! We have one of the highest state taxes in the nation in relation to our...

My issues with these two presidential candidates is: Sen. John "Captiv-ating" McCain reminds me of vice president **** "Tracy" Cheney in that he seems to want things his way along with POWER. :::::::::::::::while:::::::::::::::: Sen. Barrack "charity" Obama reminds me of Bill "Smooth Talker"...

Your problems sound as bad as mine! I was hoping my ole 23 yr. old jalopy of a car would last me until the end of next October until I could get another new generation 4 Runner. Now, I believe I am starting to get some water seeping into my oil.......aggggghhhhh! :mad: I'll be forced to play...

Get the stainless steel Strona bar and put on a couple coats of aluminum/chrome polish before the install. You can even wax the thing with the new synthetic waxes. I now use Tech Wax on mine and it looks marvelous. :D

Why don't you go with the 275/70-17's. Goodyear makes one and so does somebody else that I can't seem to recall now. They will cost you almost $200 a piece though. I'm considering this route whenever the time comes. I only have 30k on my runner now and the Donefloppies still have about 15-20k...

Your aren't suppose to use 4-LO on any non giving surface. It will cause your gearing to bind up because of the lack of slippage in the Torsen limited slip axle.

Hmmmm! I'm wondering why Toyota decided to install a defeat switch for the "VSC" on the 2008 model. I'm sure this switch will be on the "all new" 2009 model year also. I hope Toyota doesn't mess up the Runner dynamics on this new 5th generation model. My 23 yr old car is starting to lean toward...

I thought Toyota upgraded the "07's with a thicker glass on both the windshields and side windows to make the vehicle's interior quieter. Prehaps I am wrong!

What kind of spacer is this? How much lift will it give you? If it gives a 3 inch lift.....then I

DO NOT USE any spray type cleaner on your Toyota alloy rims. Also, I would not and do not use any those fashionable tire blackwall cleaners either. These materials will eat away the clear coat on your rims. What you can do now to prevent this problem in the future is to just CHROME your rims...

May I asked...."What is a preloaded spacer"?
