Hi, I think my automatic door latch for my 2003 V8 Limited shat the bed. The latch no longer stays engaged so the door keeps flipping up. Anyone have one of these for sale? Thanks

you were right. Nothing wrong with my cold start. I found out I was using the wrong key lol. The key I was using wasn't chipped thus car would crank but wouldn't start. Oh silly

Thanks guys for the reply. I took a cab to a parts store and picked up a Megnatic block heater. Slabbed her to the oil pan and plugged it in. Waited 2 hours and she turned over with ease. Now, time to get my real block heater installed. It's not realistic to keep going under the car to use...

I just moved from a warmer climat to the Canadian Prairies with my 03 4Runner. I don't have a block heater yet (well, I bought one yesterday and didn't get a chance to have it installed). Last night was the first time i was forced to leave the car out in the cold. This morning, the car doesn't...

I'm actually wondering the same thing... Mine has 120K on it and I'm not sure if the belt was ever replaced or not. There is no sticker, checked with local dealers and they haven't had the car in for the belt change. Doesn't mean it hasn't been changed by a 3rd party shop though... Any other...

i'll start at the dealer and move onto the first owner if needed. will keep this thread updated :) thanks.

i gots nothing but love! :)

again - thanks for trying. Anyone work at a Toyoa dealer in Canada? :roadkill:

IMO - Mudding is NOT "OffRoading"... call me crazy :)

So I bought a 2003 Unlimited V8 from a guy who didn't really know the history of the 4R. Car has 120K miles on it (198K KM to be exact). After doing a CarProof, noticed that the guy bought it from an Auction 8 month earlier. His reason for selling was "made an impulse buy and didn't need it"...

so just look for fluid leaks?

very cool! I have black limited 18's, the paint is starting to look a bit rough. Do I need to sand it before i plasti-dip? or just go right over the current paint?

how do you tell when x-reas is shot anyway?

alright, so the bags are still on the car and the fuse looks alright. The only "mod" that seems to be on this truck is the 2006 18" wheels with brand new bridgestone dueler A/T's (275/65/18's) oh ya and a trailer brake assist.

my gf has the car our right now, once she gets in, I can check out on a couple of these. Now that you mention it, the rear does feel a bit stiffer when going over bumps. I'm not sure if that's just how 4Runner's are or if it's my car. First time in one. I'm in Vancouver BC and truck has 200K...
