TTT. Considering serious offers, and mileage increased from 4500 to 4511 as well. :)

I know pretty much everyone on this forum owns a 4Runner already, but doesn't hurt to try. Maybe someone needs a new one or knows a friend who knows a friend that has a buddy that needs one. :) Either way, details are listed below and pictures are available upon request. I don't have them on my...

^^ I'd have to disagree. Water dries things out. Think about water on your skin. It'll dry out without being properly "lubed". When you use lotion on your hands it keeps them soft and prevents cracking. Same as with a cars interior. You want to use something with lubrication to prevent...

Armour All is water based, or was at one given time. You are pretty much safe to use anything that is NOT water based on the interior. 303, Griots, Mothers, numerous products are out there, all just as effective. I personally use Son of a Gun (STP) protectant, and have on all vehicles in the...

Quality of the towel could be a reason. Another factor could be the dryer in which you dry the towels. If you use fabric softner sheets on other clothes in the dryer, it will still be in the dryer. Perfect way to test if the softner is not still in the dryer -- Take out the lint filter. If you...

My 05 SE is the same. Leather seats with color matched (black) suede type material on the doors.

I took mine in today finally. The stealership is gonna order a full exhaust set-up, to include full cat back, plus all sensor wires. Sounds like a bit overboard, but hopefully it'll be fixed.

http://www.alldata.com/tsb/Toyota/1128063600000_1128582000000_EG044-05/441.html Not sure if it's for V-6 or V-8.

I believe it was done at port. It's those gel seats, or something of the sort. Probably just another way to make it look good to try and get more money from me. :D

So it isn't my imagination. Guess here comes another trip to the stealership. I am begining to feel like I am on par with my Ford as often as I take this NEW truck back to the stealership.

Off the wall comment here, but why is it I see so many 05 SE runners with the gray leather. Mine came with black, which is cool, but seems to be different. Also, it doesn't have the zippers as mentioned by other SE owners. Anyone know?

Prior to my Runner, I drove an Acura TSX and RSX-S, both 04 models. I traded them both in on this truck, and love it. I got a POS Ford for a daily driver as well. Pics: Prior to those, I had: 03 Tundra 02 Civic 02 IS300 02 Tundra 01 Camry 01 Silverado 99 Integra GSR 97 Integra RS 94...

^^ If you don't take his, you can have mine. I took it off, along with all the other badging. Only thing on my Runner is the Toyota emblems. I like a clean appearance, and don't care if someone confuses mine for a 6cyl. I know I own a V-8 and that's all that matters. :) PM me if you want it

^^ Wow, that's pretty cool of the stealership to do that. Wish I could have done the same, I personally don't like the scoop. Anybody looking for a silver sport hood? :D

Weird. I just got my 4Runner within the last two weeks. I tried a lot of methods to remove the same thing (oil like substance)from my passenger front wheel. I thought it was a glue of some sort that might have coated the wheels either from shipment, or initial mounting. Guess I need to take...
