EGDE-Thanks. I didn't think of that?!? :bash: :confused: Anyway, a serious thanks to Koz and Jeff Kleb. I seem to forget the air filter too often. Seems like the synthetic oil has a loyal and large following. Othet than good initial wax job, what else for interior and exterior-I have...

OK. I know things like keep up with maintenance schedule and keep oil change documentation and use seat covers, but I am sure I am missing something. I just recently realized that you have to "season" or allow brakes to break-in. What other things do I need to keep in mind so my new vehicle...

alpha, Thanks for your feedback. When I wrote about the unnecessary gadgets, I should have said I would like to see a Toyota SUV more utilitarian such as the Jeep CJ used to be where you could hose off interior and water would drain the drain plugs in floor. I have always liked the Jeep...

I have been going back and forth about purchasing a new Tundra SR5 4WD Access Cab or new 4Runner SR5 4WD . I currently have a

GatorGreg, 1st, Thank you for creating the sub-forum. I appreciate the effort. 2nd, I have to admit it when I am wrong and I am doubly wrong here. I shouldn't have listed the TS forum by name with a complaint-especially as my complaint was without merit-- you CAN in fact go there without...

I hope I am not getting outside of the box, but why isn't there either a seperate site for the Toyota Tundras or a section here for other Toyotas like the Tundra? I was pretty sure I was going to get a Tundra over a 4Runner only because I need a truck. I feel like even though sites are...

Derek, Glad to hear you are getting a satisfactory resolution on your Volvo issue. Nothing more aggravating than car trouble particulary when the car is new!! I saw your post about looking at the 3 vehicles-4Runner, Taco and Tundra. I too am (was) looking at all 3 but I have since narrowed...

Pitbull I am a sparse user of this great forum but I have to take issue with you here. I own a Tacoma now and had one before and collectively have put about 335K miles on these trucks and NO PROBLEMS-the ride is not great and there are little things I would change but reliability has NEVER...

Mark86 Good points! I am looking for a SR5 4WD to be a daily driver and to take on flyfishing and hunting trips out west and up to New England (I live in South Carolina). I am hoping to keep my truck to drive when I am hauling stuff or going to be off road in rough areas-I am not someone who...

I have been viewing this site (good stuff) for a while and I am going to be in the market for a T4R soon--I have been considering this for years but I always felt like I needed a truck. Now, I believe I am going to keep my present truck (1998 Tacoma LTD V-6 4WD with 180K miles) and get a...

I have a Toy Taco 5 spd V6 and am looking to get T4R-question I have is why doesn't Toyota make a 5 or 6 speed manual trans 4Runner? I have driven manual for years and I want a SUV but not many have manuals? Whats up with that? Joe

Any South Carolina 4Runner owners here? If so where did you buy your 4Runner. Joe

I have a '98 Taco LTD with 180K miles--I am looking for advice on what to do to keep 'er running at 200K+ miles. Also, anyone know of a Taco website other that customtacos.com Thanks Joe

Does any have information about the Toyota Financial Services balloon payment financing plan-The only thing I know for sure is that the balloon payment allows for lower monthly payments. Anyone used this before? Joe

Lee, Thanks for the info. You are the only one that responded and I appreciate you doing so. I may run some more questions out there and like you said I will be more specific about my off roading and other aspects. Thanks again. Joe
