O.k. thanks for the info. I knew I had to do an Alignment, but didn't want to do it yet as I wanted to check out the ride first. If I have to replace the struts up front, I will have to do another alignment, so didn't want to pay for for it twice. Now I just have to figure out length and/or...

Yes, I took advice from a Pep Boys employee. It was the manager, so I thought I was going to be ok...LOL. I happened to be borrowing the Spring Compressor from them and just asked the question about the struts so I'd have the opinion. Tires are decent up front, and no, I have not done the...

O.k. I recently installed the Daystar 2.5 inch spacer lift on my 2001 4Runner. I did not replace the stock shocks or struts since the guy at Pep boys suggested I just try the stock shocks and struts with this setup first. That, and I did not know which shocks and struts to ask for, i.e. the...

Pics O.k. I still have all of these parts available. I will get pics to the guys that asked for them. I ran into a snag where toyota sold me the wrong parts for the running boards. Seems like I have the right pieces now, so as soon as I get an hour, I am going to get those mud flaps off and...

Alignment Depending on the Firestone you take it to, mine typically will, they will honor the competitors coupon. $149 is the typical price for the lifetime alignment. $129 is even better.

Pics I will send you pics this weekend once I get them off the 4Runner. Right now the pics would be with them mounted. I plan on putting the running boards on Saturday.

I have a set of Mud flaps from the front of my 2001 4 runner I am looking to sell. These would be used, as they are coming off of the 4Runnner. I had to replace them with new caps for the running boards I purchased from someone. The running boards have the caps on the front that mount up to...

Rheostat O.k. Called Crutchfield. They told me I likely need to be looking at the Rheostat dimmer switch. Any ideas on how I can remove the existing one and either replace or bypass it?

Thanks for the reply. Yea, I did that as well. I unplugged the radio and too the wiring harness off. I even went as far as hooking up the factory head unit and amp just to take everything aftermarket out of the equation. Strange thing though, when I hooked up the factory stereo, It worked...

First off, I did many searches to research this problem and did find some good information that helped me troubleshoot the problem and identify where I made mistakes. However, I still can't totally resolve my issue. I installed a new HU in my 2001 4Runner. Actually it was a swap, as I didn't...

I am looking to buy one of those Timing Belt Kits off of Ebay so I can do the Timing Belt and Water pump on my own. There are a few out there that come with everything (14 Pieces), which includes the drive belts outside of the motor. I've seen them for $250 or $288. Does anyone have any...

I heard there was a salvage yard in Colorado Springs that has a particularly high number of 4Runners in the yard. Anyone heard of, or know of the place?

O.k., I know this will be next to impossible, but maybe you guys have some ideas for things I can check. I did a search and nothing seems to match what I am experiencing. I have an 01 4Runner. Recently I did the plugs, wires, transfer case and read differential fluids, as well as an oil...

Scam That's a Craigslist Scam. You can tell by the way the ad is written, and the price of the vehicle.
