Thanks for the reply. I have had the truck for 5yrs and it has 199k miles. 2wd so all highway, but the roads in hawaii are worse than many 3rd world countries. I have never swapped the coolant on the truck. I had a new timing belt and water pump put on a year or so ago, but not sure if they...

I have had a problem with my 96 3.4l loss of power and check engine light coming on and staying on. I took apart the MAF sensor, cleaned it and the throttle body and took the IAC off and cleaned this as well. On the IAC though the coolant side has corrosion in this and it has erroded one of the...

Thanks for the replies. I just got the throttle body intake tube and plan on working on this in a few days. I agree that the mechanic is crazy expensive. He was quoting about $800 in parts from the toyota dealership and 4-5 hrs of work. He is a trustworthy guy, but here in Honolulu there is...

Does anyone bring in LHD models? Would love a FJ70 model

Nice Truck!

I just bought a 2008 to replace my 1996 as a daily driver. Going to fix up the 1996 to do stupid stuff with. That way when I break it I can still get to work!

So now I have to make a bunch of stupid post to get there

Hi, I am in the same boat as the rest of you. I have an issue with my 96 and I wanted to post to ask for a remedy.....

I just bought an 08 with 113K. All of my other 4runners have easily gone over 200K with minimal problems. Glad to hear the 08 is a solid year
