I actually found another issue after changing out my rear LED lights. One of the screws that secure the plastic molding around the bottom of the rear hatch had been reinserted at some point, straight through a wire loom. Whenever I turned on my blinker, the screw was conducting electricity to...

The only additional complexity aside from the initial install, comes from a nose cone oil change which should be done every 100k miles. The additional cost of the premium fuel can also be offset by the better fuel economy that you can see when your TR4 isn't constantly hunting for lower gears...

That's a loaded question. For myself...I averaged around 15-16, but I drove the piss out of it. I live in Texas and kept the speedo over 80 on the highways and interstates though. If it were driven modestly...I could see it getting 18-19. In my opinion, the stock 3.4 is underpowered given...

You're burning more fuel, trying to get yourself up that hill with O/D turned off. With a supercharger...you will no longer have to downshift. Passing people on the highway is also done with a lot less effort with a S/C. Once you drive one that is supercharged, you will be disappointed with...

With it being open to the atmosphere for so long since you punctured it, I would recommend keeping it on a vacuum for several hours, if not overnight after replacing everything. Every bit of the moisture needs to be removed. The factory Denso A/C compressors aren't really known for failing...

Just like gamefreakgc said...you're going to notice a huge drop in power and fuel economy when it does go. From the time mine first threw a CEL till it was completely out, was less than 2 weeks. It was a major PITA trying to get it back home 4 hours because of how it was running in limp mode...

Do you have any left?

Before I suggested the evap canister, I should have asked...is yours throwing a check engine light? If the canister is your problem, then more than likely you would be. WWRD99 is right...the issue could be at the tank. There is a vent tube around there that runs pretty close to the factory...

Bingo!

I have thoroughly read about, and experienced the same issue. We found that the issue was with the vapor canister, and what led to the issue was topping off the tank after the pump shut itself off. The overflowing fuel will find it's way down to the canister through the vent line. I learned...

Also another reason why I love my Jeep. With the all wheel drive, it is unbelievably predictable, even with 550 wheel horsepower. Wherever it is pointed, that is where it's going when you mash the skinny pedal! Can't say that I wouldn't absolutely love a new Trackhawk though. The main...

Can't argue with you there! First off, I am a fan of being normally aspirated. I can't get enough of the Arrington 440 stroker in my Jeep SRT8. I had originally planned on sending my Jeep to Stage 6 Motorsports in Jacksonville, Florida to let Harrison Zauke do an 88mm turbo setup on it. He...

Take a spin in a Trackhawk or a Hellcat, and I'm sure that will change your opinion!

Someone may have designed one at one time or another, but no...air is inducted straight from the airbox.

Having owned a normally aspirated '02 4runner for 8 years prior to the S/C '00 4Runner I've been driving for the last 5 years now...there is no way I could ever go back. The normally aspirated T4R was always hunting for a lower gear, and lacked any and all backbone while trying to pass anyone...
