Awesome, thanks for the help. I'll definitely look into that. Worst case, I go with the 1" BL and just adjust my coils down about an 1" or so. Like I said, I'm sure this is a lot easier to do than I'm making it out to be in my head. I've got a funny way of over complicating things before I...

I've been a member here for a while, and have refrained from posting too many questions (because most are solved with a simple search). However, I've come to a point with my Runner that I am in need of some assistance. Basically my dilemma is this: I want to go down in lift. Currently I've...

Thanks fellas. I didn't even consider eBay, I was all over Amazon.

Morning gents, It's about that time for some good 'ole maintenance. I plan on doing my timing belt, drive belts, spark plugs, oil, oil filter, plug wires, tranny fluid, gear oil (basically the works). Just found what seems to be a very good deal on a timing belt kit. Just wanted to get some...

You raise a valid point. I have noticed on my wife's 2012 Kia, we've had to take that thing in more times for a stupid "Hill Start Assist" sensor, meanwhile my 4Runner has been running with a CEL for a bad charcoal canister for about 8 months now lol. Sure do with my old '84 Chevy....At least...

Ya know, as I scroll through the local forums for the NE area, I find it very pathetic that this thread originated in 2004, and there still isn't any sort of group, or club originated from this? Obviously there's an issue that we don't have any sort of wheeling club, so why not start one up...

What gear ratio you running? I do an estimated 3,500 mile trip about every 3-4 months going down home. I'm stock with 33's right now and besides constantly shifting down going up hills, when I'm cruisin on flat ground I'm cruisin at 1,800 rpm's at 70. I'm looking for something I can just...

I actually came up with that during my search. Looks like I've got a little troubleshooting to do. Thanks for your help!

I've got this same issue. Just haven't gotten around to taking a look at it yet. Have you noticed a decrease in your gas mileage since you've had this code? Also, when I go to check the VSV and/or the charcoal canister, do I need to remove the gas tank? Thanks.

Thanks for the response, I'll have to find out the length of those later on I guess. I did however, go down and get the code(s) ran again and it seems as though I've got a p0446 which is EVAP short circuit. I can deal with that and it's multitude of troubleshooting issues, what I can't deal...

So I've searched for this a couple times and can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. Does anyone know the dimensions for the bolts that hold the factory skid plate to a 2001 4runner? (the one directly under the engine). Also, I'm going to be hauling a 3,500lbs load approximately 1,100...

I'm in :)

I'm stationed at Westover AFB in Chicopee and, I think I'm pretty centrally located for some good areas but I honestly don't know haha.

Wow, I just kind of stumbled on your thread here....it seems like there really is noone around that wants to have a meet? I'm down for a rig day. If anyone knows of a place we can always have a cookout/trail day at a national park or somethin... I'm always up for meetin up with more 'yota...

Honestly, it's your truck...all about personal preference. I honestly don't really pay much attention to it unless I'm trying to see what type of tires someone else has.
