I was driving home 3 days ago (350 miles) and I stopped at a rest stop after feeling a vibration that came out of the blue. I was pulling a small light weight trailer that was unloaded. I went around and touched all the wheels...they were all warm except the drivers rear which was hot. Needless...

Just did my plugs and wire yesterday and I thought mine looked bad! I had 60k on them...I guess they should be changed at 30k..lol

My .02...I was having shuddering issues with my 96 3.4....I have 157k...I went to the dealer and he said the check engine light is only for emission components...that does not sound right but oh well...the primary ohm when cold is like .65-1.02 and the secondary (which I could not get to test)...

004 Gunner.....I have a 96 and just found out the rear springs were done in 03....how big is the gap in your wheel well? I am thinking about the 1.5" spacers...just dont want to do it if it dont do no good...ya know? thanks, Garth

Just bought a 96 runner auto with 156k. I plan on a 10K mile trip in a bit to Alaska...what do you all recommend I do to/bring for my runner? I do have the records that the timing belt was done ay 98k....my BIGGEST worry is the water pump....it was NOT done and I have no idea how long they...

I need some help...just got a 96 V-6 auto...I want to put a plate AUX cooler on....does anyone know the biggest size and brand that will fit? also which line do I tap into to install it? thanks....Garth

ok...where do you get one....its hard to believe that they still have them after 20 years...

if that is the only choice I will...I again was hopeing that someone has gone through this before...I do not know what my options are...

I can do that..I was hopeing that someone has done it already...

I have not paid attention...but I do not have shoulder seat belts for the rear seat on my 86 4 runner...am I suppose to? thanks as always...Garth

86 4 runner....I need to paint it....it was black...now kind of white/faded black....what do you use....also do I need to sand and prime it? if so what kind of primer.....I was hopeing to just use a spray can....again...thanks...Garth

I noticed the rear stud is missing...do I just buy a new one and screw it in?? I have never had to do this before....then what kind of gasket should I use? thanks in advance...Garth
