It has happened in either direction, but the behavior is completely erratic. I dont think the ignition safety lock-up has anything to do about it, as that locks up fine when the key is removed. I will check the steering linkages. When you say ball joints, do you mean upper, lower or both...

Hello, This is a problem that has been affecting my brother's 90 series Land Cruiser, which uses the exact same chassis as the 3rd gen, and we need to figure it out to get the car driving safely again. Every once every few days, the steering goes into "premature lock". This means that the...

You know, these threads are always interesting. I am all for owning and carrying weapons. I live in a country were carry is both a gift and a curse. Threats are everywhere and since they're the ones looking for you and not the other way around, they have the element of surprise. This means...

The 4runner is a V6, as stated. (also, its a 4WD) I meant the serpentine belt, I should've specified. I have fair mechanical knowledge, but I am used to way simpler engines. I am extremely picky with my vehicles' maintenance. To be a bit more specific: Engine and driveline oils will be...

Hey guys, my 2007 V6 4runner is just getting to the 100000km (60000mi) mark. So some non-routine maintenance is required I guess. She is mechanically sound and has been taken care of since day 1. So, what should be done to a 4th gen nearing 60000 miles on the clock? I have a few things on my...

I'd love to get a similar rod storage system, I think ease of carry and safe rods are winners here. All my life I've used a pair of elastic bands which are closed with velcro strips to attach the rods to the grab handles. I dont own particularly long fishing rods, 6'6" is the longest, so I cant...

I like the fingerprint and the TBR!

On the 2.7 Land cruiser: exactly 102.5mph (164kmh) On the 4th gen: 122.5 (196kmh) Both taken on the GPS. Both done to test how far they can get before it gets scary. FWIW, the 4th gen is completely stock and the LC has a few mods but the engine is completely stock.

Sounds like your clutch is slipping, might be due for a change..

I think the easiest to wire would be the Warn wireless lights. No hassle running the harness into the cab. The only bad thing is having to have a control style switch instead of a simple switch.. KC, PIAA, IPF, Hella, Lightforce all use the same basic harness, wiring them is the same procedure...

Autos are better for mud and sand, and when youre going up a sequence of steps she will go up more composed, it will try to jump less. I still prefer manual transmissions..

This is somewhat common with LED lights. It happened to me when I installed Rigid lights. It would interfere with my HAM setup, as well as with radio reception for the stereo and a friend of mine complained about the same issue with a CB. I asked around on a few board and it turns out LEDs...

Thanks for your replies! Im relieved that its actually normal. Similar to cloudrunner, mine started after maybe 50000miles (80000km). It does work perfectly fine though, didnt know about the electric brake booster, that makes sense. Appreciate it, Luis

I posted this in Yotatech without any response I have a 2007 V6 4runner Limited 4x4, it started making a noise a while back that has been bugging me. Im suspicious of the ABS system Everytime you start her up, get her into gear and start moving, about 10 seconds after you get going you get a...

Why would you waste time making something look pretty when you'll probably loose half the paint on your first recovery? By then it will look worse than it does in its galvanized steel form. This sounds like something someone might do to a mall crawler, I wouldn't waste time painting these bits..
