Owned the truck since 2007 it has a clean carfax for what that is worth. Not too worried about the carpet, I can stitch it back together easily. Looks like I am going to have to rebuild something there, not sure I trust JB Weld would hate to have the seat break lose in an accident.

So I have noticed my drivers seat getting more and more wobbly in my 2002 4runner. It is getting really bad and the bolts are are all tight. So I gut the carpet back tonight and the steel channel the seat bolts to is ripped! So I need to get this fixed, has anyone seen something like this or...

Hello, My 2002 had the radiator go bad about a year ago, it had developed cracks and was leaking. If you are still using the built in transmission cooler go ahead and replace the radiator and use an external transmission cooler. I paid $169 for !y radiator, pretty cheap generic unit. Sent...

Thanks for the reply. That does make sense, I will try a cleaner and see what happens. Thanks

Hello everybody, My 4runner has had this problem for a while and I am finally following up and trying to find out what is going on. Here is the problem in a nutshell: If I turn the ignition on with the car off for even just a minute the next time I try to start the car it is hard to start...

Hello all, I have a 2002 sport and as you an see the silver is coming off the center trim exposing the yellow plastic. So my questions are: 1. What have you guys done or recommend doing to fix this and make it nice looking again. I was thinking silver spray paint?? 2. If the solution...

Got mine installed this weekend Everything went smooth, with this unit the antenna only raises for the radio, when you switch to cd, dvd, or anything else the antenna goes down. The factory speakers really came to life and it sounds a hundred times better!

Oh I see where you posted it TheDurk, I really wish I had found this thread before I bought it. This is the second time I have had to do the antenna, once back in 2008 and I bought a unit off ebay that worked fine for four years and then now and I experienced this! Oh well, buyer beware they...

Hacker, On my Sport model the wheel shroud is held in with some bolts on the wheels flares and then a couple of plastic push in clips, they are black and round with a hole in the middle and they will break. Napa has replacements, they are Balkamp 665-1378 and cost about $5 for a bag of five...

Thanks jsukey! I recall the screws, sounds like the same ones from my wife's old RAV4, think there were 9 or 10mm with a philips drive center. I have been breaking clips all week so I am sure I will break a few more on this install!

So.... this was a very timely article as I am installing a new radio as soon as it gets here in the mail this week. It is a double din unit and I bought a wiring harness I just had a few questions: 1. On a 2002 I just need to remove the lower plastic around the shifter area and then the dash...

Here is another ebay seller who is pushing a unit that will not fit properly, I unfortunately bought one before reading this thread and am having trouble getting all my money back now as he wants me to ship the unit back to him. o_light o_light's profile I repeat the antenna this guy sells...

Well I bought me one of those little Bissell units and have been cleaning my seats today and decided maybe I can use a light spray of cleaner with a gentle scrubbing on the headliner and then use the Bissell to vacuum out any moisture. Seems that might be the best way, that Bissell unit really...

So I have a 2002 4runner with that stupid fuzzy headliner. The headliner is very dirty and I want to clean it. I have one of those small bissell green machines and was wondering if there is any problem using one of these machines on the headliner? The last thing I want to do is dissolve the...

Thanks for the information t4r4life, that is exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for.
