I will be in SD in august and would love to make it to one of these outings. Im sure, even if i dont drive it, and just watch, I could learn a whole lot and become a much better and safer driver, both to myself, others, and my 4runner. Thanks for the video guys!!

ok then its set. But im not sure if I can change to mobill one myself, I have no tools because we just moved here and since my dads paying for this, my last parent car spensing, i think hell want it done at the dealer and i dont think they will put in mobile one will they? even if i ask? Thanks...

so you dont think that i should have the 5000 mile service done and the air filters and everything replaced? Thanks, Joe

Ok, well im leaving saterday for my road trip. Right now I have about 4300 miles on my 05 4runner. Im going to bring my car in on friday to the service dept to have the 5000 mile service done on it. Im driving to San Diego and backpacking in WY on the way. Im guessing that we will be driving...

I want to say thank you to everyone whos helped me! I included a pic of my new python alarm. Enjoy http://public.fotki.com/independent711/my_4runner/

Bent panhard bar (toyota dealer here called it the track bar). My moms 4runner was the same, creaking over bumps, turns all kind of stuff. We got it fixed for free at the 5000 mile service. Take it in and have them look at. Good luck, Joe P.

This mod is for 3rd gen only right? THanks

thats a great video... I guess if you guys go again and dont mind ill try to come along.. i just really htink ill need a lift and new tires first! haha... great job and thanks for sharing. Joe

Do i get it right that the rubbing is only on the mudflaps? Wouldnt there be rubbing if you went over say a speed bump or something and the suspension got compressed or does the lift prevent the suspension from compressing beyond a certain point? Thanks, Joe P. Oh and how much did you pay for...

Hey guys. first thank you for all the replys and great advice. I would like to say that I know my driving probably wasnt the smartest and thats why i posted ths question, so i could hopefully learn what is ok and what is not. I spent most of my time before i actually got a truck of my own with...

i wasnt too worried about the trail... i think the general contractor might have been though.... haha... no if im on a public or wild area i am very cautious... and i think i may have described it so it sounds worse than it was... we just drove fast through the muddy water... which was reckless...

sorry... forgot the link.. i dont know how good it is but it looks nice and well built...

Im looking as well and i think thule makes them but there a little too much for me so i found this which is a little cheaper. Good luck and ill see what you go with and then make my decission

Well I dont know if anyone read my old post about some serious creaking and squeaking in my moms 2004 limited. My dad and I took it in today to have the oil changed and that looked at. The dealer said that the trac bar was bent. My dad blames me for this and I blame the shipping company who...

edit to this.. how would a hi lift jack work for a 4runner with the plastic bumpers? It wouldnt right? the rear could be jacked up with the tow hitch but then it would be very unstable im guessing.. and theres noway to lift up the front right because the tow hooks are UNDER the plastic bumper...
