Awesome, thank you!!

I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but... any chance of any upcoming sales? :) Been waiting for my July 1 paycheck to arrive and am happy to wait a few more days if there might be a holiday weekend sale :)

Great to know, thank you! That definitely sounds like it is probably the issue! I’ll take a look and see if it might be something I can handle myself (though, yes, those bolts probably are pretty corroded, especially given that the ones between the cat and the muffler look really bad), otherwise...

My 4Runner has been making a weird sound that I haven’t been able to diagnose, and I’m hoping folks here might have some ideas. Video with sound recording linked below, I cannot figure out how to embed a YouTube video, sorry! It’s the ccchhh-ccchhh-ccchhh sort of sound, and seems to be more...

Wow, thank you everyone for all the info and advice!! The engine was off during the test, I should have written “key on engine off”. (Sorry for not saying this in my original post!) Bad Luck That’s a great idea, I will try that. I have heard of some folks having issues with those bolts and...

Hi folks! My 1999 4Runner (SR5 4WD) has had a puzzling steering issue I’ve been trying to diagnose. It has just over 288,000 miles. A few months ago, the steering started to get a little stiffer, mainly noticeable at slower speeds (under 25mph), and it’s slowly gotten worse. Recently, it’s...

Good to know, thank you!

Awesome, I also have a 3rd gen 4Runner and a 3rd gen RAV4. I'm actually going to tackle the shocks and struts soon on my RAV4; can I ask what made the shocks so much more difficult on yours? I've been worried about removing the high torque strut bolts, and the shocks didn't look so bad to do...

Welcome!! Looks like you came over from the dark side :)

Welcome! Congrats on finding a V8 :)

Welcome!!

Agreed! But if everyone is saying something nice that's still a lot better than folks posting nasty comments. I've been teaching online classes and initially made the mistake of allowing anonymous posting on a discussion board, wow things got nasty quick, I couldn't believe what some students...

Yeah, 20 seems a bit high to me, though maybe the forum moderators have a good reason for this that I'm missing. I'm a moderator for a hiking forum and the spammers are typically pretty obvious and get annihilated either as soon as they join or once they've made a single post. Maybe it's...

GoTreads is having a sale on traction boards, $25 off standard size black (looks like this runs until end of December) and $15 off orange (not sure how long this one lasts) GoTreads - Black Friday Special 2021 - Save $25 on Black I'd been indecisive about which traction boards to get and opted...

Yes, the part number is 89543-35050. You can also go to parts.toyota.com, input VIN or model/year/etc. then search on ABS and look at the diagrams to find the part number (and can order through different dealerships there too; I shopped around for the cheapest local dealer price). Here’s a...
