"After-market alarm" sold on BRAND NEW 4Runner? So, I go into the stealership (up here in northern CA) because I'm having issues with my driver-side door locks, and alarm. The door locks they can fix at no charge (extended service warranty). But the alarm system they claim is...

This has to be something that someone else here as experienced, as I have a friend that experiences it in her '04 Corolla... Occassionally -- well, rather infrequently -- when I come to a full stop, and my foot is still holding down the brake, my 4Runner ('07) will suddenly lunge forward...

Ok...looks like my problem [could have] solely been my $20 Monster cable ... :wtf: I took my 4R to the dealership on Sat morning, and they supposedly performed the TSB in an hour's time. I get back in the car and drive home, and STILL experience horrible crackling, popping & static out of my...

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking about taking mine to the stealership today. How long did it take to fix?

this crap-jack from Crutchfield doesn't really work -- i still get crackling & static from the slightest movement of my ipod and the cables. Waste of $25...and they (Crutchfield) don't even refund your S/H, ridiculous. I'll just be taking the 4R into the dealership...

Thanks to this thread, I just ordered my noise filter from crutchfield. :) I just started experiencing this a couple months ago on my '07...

How many ton hydraulic floor jack is sufficient for the 4Runner? The toyo website confuses me regarding the weight of the 4Runner: I'm just trying to jack the 4R high enough to perform tire rotations & oil changes...

Chevron? Shell? 76? man, that crap is "expensive" -- i buy the cheap stuff, at AM/PM...

yea, prices here in SAC are a joke. Luckily for me, a couple months ago i moved only 2 miles away from work (used to be a 20-mile commute), so now i only go to the pump once every 2 weeks, filling the tank only half way (at these prices)...:nono:

I've had my new 4Runner for 3 months now, and in this time there's been maybe 5 or so occasions driving at night in which oncoming cars FLASH their high beams at me. The first couple times this happened, I had to double-check that MY high beams weren't on. But that certainly was not the case...

lol...you're not the only one here that found those directions to be completely uninterpretable and useless. i took mine to my dealer for $50. For me, it was all a waste of money, 150 bucks down the drain, as i just took it off a few days ago (i like the look without it), but oh well

whether it's V6 or V8 doesn't matter -- it's the Limiteds that have the color-keyed grille you can get a color-keyed grille from your dealer. I got mine for about $150. Do a search on this board, and you'll find a thread that has a link to a website that sells them for about $110 or so...

wow, i just did the oil change this weekend (my first time ever, after owning a blazer and grand cherokee in the past :D) ...and it was NOT so simple. But the hassles of doing it the first time around on a 4Runner (finding the damn oil filter and the locating the two rear nuts holding up the...

THANKS everyone for your input after hearing everyone's input, i'm gonna try it myself this saturday. That jiffy lube youtube video was horrific. And a friend of mine who was skimming thru other car forums (in this case, a Toyota Avalon forum), read one poster's claim that one dealership was...

ahh crap, wish you had posted earlier -- i just bought 6 qts of Mobil-1 @ $6.19/qt -- is this how much they ususally cost??? lawwailok, does that $100 include oil? If so, what oil do they use?
