    What do you mean neither are legal? Does it depend on local laws?

    How do I loosen the throttle cable?

    Check vacuum hoses. When you have high idle, means its getting too much air.

    Beware of UPS

    I wouldn't ship FedEx Ground either. I was a package handler for almost 6 yrs. The fragile packages got the same treatment as anything else. The conveyor/automated sorter could handle 150LB packages, so if your fragile one got stuck and a heavy one came in behind it, guess what, it got smashed.

    '00 multi mode = center diff?

    I recommend reading this page: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/78448-t-case-differences-all-years-3rd-gens-transfer-case-awd-multi-mode.html This cleared up my confusion when i started looking at 4Runners. Toyota started using the Multi-mode wording in 1999, the Limiteds from...

    Mid Grade Fuel

    Is this 3rd gen a good deal? 1998 Limited questions

    I'm not sure this is even a 98. I have a 98 SR5 and I don't have that steering wheel. Mine is a four spoke wheel. I have seen that two spoke in 96 and 97 model yrs. See if the owner can send you a pic of the drivers door sticker to confirm yr.

Rockwood Roos, Starcraft, jay co, just to name a few. All-in-all you just need to research. The other day I saw a new highlander towing a Starcraft...
