Thanks Bama, I will give your notes serious consideration! Cheers, -Jason

Wow, that is a bummer. Got a quote from my usual mechanic for $700. I wish I had the luck of some of you guys with your 4Runner's. Mine has 175000 miles and has all these issues (i've owned since 90000 miles): - brake booster - transmission pretty much shot (it was really bad, had to really...

Hello! My '99 4Runner SR5 brakes are having serious issues. The brake pedal is extremely hard to push down, I really have to use a lot of force to get it down to get the brakes to start working. At idle, same thing, the pedal pushes back against my foot, so I just put it in park instead. I...

Thanks! Odd that post didn't show up in my search, oh well, glad I can now see the process for fixing it. Those motors are still available on eBay. Do they still work fine now after you've done the repair? What about putting that vapor barrier back on, did you have to apply new tape? Too...

I searched the forums some but didn't see this one. I live in Texas and when it's hot here (large part of the year!) and my '99 SR5 4Runner is parked in the sun for more than an hour or so the door locks will either be very sluggish or not work at all. If they don't work I have to use the key...

Jeez, amazing how often this happens! My button fell out of the switch a week back so now I keep it in the ash try, ugh! Found this one online for $9.99 (Toyota wanted $50 for it!!!)...

Just to add some prices on having a shop do this repair. I have a '99 SR5 2wd v6, bought in Dec 2005 (with 90K miles on it). - axles seals shot when I bought the car, so had them replaced for $1300 (this price included a transmission flush). Repair included axle seals, abs ring, rear brake...

So I let the temperature get a bit warmer then took it for a short drive, still did not work. Stopped for a few minutes then drove home where it finally rolled all the way up. It got to the point it usually did, about 5" or so from the top, when it made a loud pop/snap sound and then kept...

Thanks! I'll pull off that interior panel (hope it's easy to do that!) and see what I can find when the window is going up/down.

Hello. After thinking I was going to get through the rest of the year without a repair (replaced all the fuel injectors this year after two of them failed, when the 2nd one failed didn't want to risk another repair so had the remaining 4 replaced) my rear hatch window isn't going all the way...
