I believe the 3rd gen 4runner (96-02) was the last generation that had the downflow spoiler that specifically addressed this issue. I believe it was mainly for mileage purposes to avoid the low pressure bubble forming behind the car as shown above, but it also had the great side affect of...

For what it's worth to anyone else with the excessive oil leaks onto the front of the engine, I do still have a slight timing cover leak on my drivers side back behind the AC compressor & alternator but it's manageable for now compared to what I had going on. Had the dealership recheck the...

Is your leak still gone? Im in the same boat and posted in another similar thread, but this is where I find myself. $30 for a new crank pulley bolt w crank seal and a long day at home to replace them, or face the newly quoted $6000 to do the whole timing cover reseal since the Toyota techs can't...

Anyone else had a slight leak they haven't been able to trace? I followed most of the easier alternatives listed here and replaced the oil pressure sensor and VVTi piping and that area is nice and clean without issue. Put some leftover Toyota FIPG from another priest over that timing cover...

^Haha good call, I didn't get a notification on the reply but that mention did make it show up for me so I appreciate it. I don't browse the 4Runner forums as much as I used to. Just subscribed so should see any replies now. Yes it is still available for sale, just drove it without issue a...

Selling my old 4Runner that's served me and my FIL well over the years. Bought used with around 167k about 15 yrs back and kept up to date on maintenance. Have a little log book with more details if you want but everything mechanically 100% works on it. Worst part is the paint job from previous...

I read up on the previous threads on this for this generation 4R and in most cases it ended up with most people saying or finding out they had a loosened/broken bolt and/or busted pulley where it separated at the rubber connections. In every case I've not really seen what they considered wobble...

Zip tie fix worked for black screen situations So my intermittent camera came back about 3-4 months after I posted, but I followed the zip-tie fix that GoHeels posted on page 2 and just a follow up almost 2 years on still no black screens when in reverse.

Good to know about the hot water and the surprising ferry cost (I do vaguely remember hearing something about them being private ferries and so not subsidized by NC like other main routes), I'm going to have get her interested in going there this year.

OBX good lovin My family gets together out there yearly at Corolla and one of the events is always the 4WD beach areas either in the North OBX (Currituck Cty) or down at Cape Lookout Seashore, it's easy fun and you don't need to gear up like you're going to Moab or Rubicon so long as you have...

Dealership fixed it, not me ^Sorry dealership did it all so no pics of it or specifics of which wire specifically. In this thread below it looks like user rigtec put up the wiring diagram, I would suppose it's one of those 4 wires called out that are hooked to the backup camera. 5th Gen Back...

Soaked it down? I may have missed it but didn't see it specifically called out in the thread, just to be clear have you absolutely drenched and soaked what's left of that bolt in PB blaster/Kroil/etc? Hard to tell from pics if the light sheen is from spray residue or just working on/around it...

Backup camera wiring loose in tailgate Just posted in another backup camera issue thread before I finally found this one. Just wanted to confirm for others I had same issue as most in this thread, black screen intermittently when in reverse. Software update TSB didn't fix it first go-around...

Backup camera wiring loose in tailgate I've been experiencing the same issue of the backup camera intermittently going to only black screen about once every 30 startups when in reverse but otherwise the nav/screen operated normally in all other gears (this is the key and only symptom, I had no...

Interested Still can't see reposted pics like user said above, link just shows same (-) error sign. Got a model number to work with so we can pull it up online? I'll actually be coming down 95 later this week and can make a detour. PM sent as well.
