Looking for some opinions and information on towing a small camper, something like a ~17 foot 3500lbs ultra light. I plan on traveling 10-15k miles some at higher altitudes/mountain area's with it. Truck is supercharged and does have a trans cooler and trailer brake already, would also replace...

No, I'd like to get a 2.2 pulley on it and do the URD tensioner while I'm at it, but at this point I'm just going to replace the old idler. I had my buddy who works in parts at Toyota find it, only cost $25 for a new OEM one.

Does anyone have the part number for the idler pulley underneath the supercharger snout pulley? Mines roasted and making a TON of bearing noise.

When I worked for Toyota, we had a tech doing an induction service on a 3.4l Tacoma, basically it was a chlorinated solvent connected to a vacuum line on the intake. You're just supposed to idle the vehicle and let it drip in with the vacuum pressure, but the tech revved up the motor and it...

I had the hankook dynapro ATM's on my last 3rd gen and they were ok, rode good on the highway but the offroad traction wasn't great for an all terrain. The Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 265/75/16 is only like $123 each, I'm going to go with those on this time.

Starting to get a lot of bearing noise from my gen 1 supercharger, anyone know if a quick oil change may make quite down? Or if anyone possibly knows someone in metro Atlanta that rebuilds them that would be awesome too. it's got about 150k on the blower.

*sweet ass hood scoop

So I just picked up my second 3rd gen 4runner, it’s a 1999 green trd s/c 4wd truck, sold through southeast Toyota, i have the original window sticker and it does not say highlander to my knowledge. My reason for questioning is that the truck has 4.10 gears, a hood scoop, the 5 spoke wheels...

I know this post is 3 years old, but I completed the install of the $5 sim and it did keep the check engine light on, BUT.. being a 2000 california cat car, it would not allow the O2 sensor or catalyst system to initiate, no matter the miles, it would never ready up, thus not passing emissions...

Oops, lol.

according to TIS (Toyota Technical) you have 4.10 gears.

So I actually purchased all of the parts for that and I was going to have one of my techs (I work in service at Toyota) give it a shot, but I haven't gotten it done yet. The radioshack parts he has you get are not exactly easy to come by and the closest comparable parts weren't exact so I didn't...

So I have a cat code (p0420) on my 2000 4runner with the california cats and I'm not looking to replace them, we have very lax emission laws in Georgia and I'd just like the light off. Normally I would just use a spark plug defouler and call it a day, but the o2 sensor is flanged rather than...

I work for Toyota, there's no reason for me to go aftermarket or really even do the work myself when it costs me so little to have it done at the dealership.
