    HELP!! Is my transmission done!

    Hi Chris, I see you are near Denver. Next time you need service, give ATLR in Wheat Ridge a call. I've used them in the past and found them to be very honest. Slee recommended them to me a few years back. Good luck man.

    FS: 4th Gen Limited Running Boards - Denver, CO

    This is primarily for the driver side but I do have both. The driver side is in good shape but used obviously. The passenger is bent a little towards the read wheel. Make offer on driver side. PM to [email protected]

    Trade-In or Maintain current 4th Gen

    You're correct - I bought it a little over 2 years ago and financed 18K. After looking at my statement, I still owe around 8K. I was forced to purchase my current 04 after my 03 was totaled in a wreck by some punk and I got slightly screwed by the insurance. I picked up a certified used...

    Trade-In or Maintain current 4th Gen

    It's looking like I am going to keep it and drive it until it dies. I was initially put off by the price tag with doing the proper maintainence it needs. If I were to trade it in, it would for a lower mileage 4th gen or a Tacoma 6-speed. Thanks everyone for the helpful responses. I value the...

    Trade-In or Maintain current 4th Gen

    Maybe I should skip the 90K service and do the tranny fluid, differential, t. case, radiator, zerk fittings and plugs myself. I am able to do it, just really busy right now. I'm looking for a really good AT tire because we are in the CO mountains alot, both summer and winter. I considered the...

    Trade-In or Maintain current 4th Gen

    Man, where are you getting 4 BFG All Terrain's installed for less than $900. I've been looking everywhere and that was the absolute best price I found. Also, I could save a few hundred by doing the 90K myself. It's really a time factor for me.

    Trade-In or Maintain current 4th Gen

    Hello All, I current have a 2004 V8 Limited with 113K on the odometer. I bought it used at 73K but now it needs a lot of maintainence work. I still owe about 10K. My question is, should I put $2,500 into my current 4Runner or trade it in and use the money for a newer vehicle. I drive about...

    difficulty turning steering wheel

    Does anyone here know why my steering wheel takes a lot of effort to turn? It seems harder to turn then it used to. I drive an 03 Limited. Recently I had to rent an 08 and the steering feel takes much less effort. Thanks in advance.

    03 Limited with caliper problems

    Is anyone out there aware of caliper problems for the 03 4runners. Exactly a year ago, I had to replace both rear calipers because they were sqeezing my rotors and would not fully release. Luckilly I noticed this early. Now today, while getting my truck inspected, one of the front calipers...

    Fuse question

    Re: Re: Fuse question I need to ask. How did you blow so many circuits? Don't forget to disconnect the (-) NEG battery cable before doing any electrical work. [/B] While my truck was running, I plugged in my Sirius satellite radio (which is a seperate unit from the factory radio). I heard...

    Best Street Tire That Will See Snow & Ice?

    I am from NE PA but I spent a month in Wyoming last winter and my Michelin CT's were respectable. I thought they would be worse given the quality highway ride inherent to that tire.

    Fuse question

    I am having difficulty finding the fuse that controls the rear wiper/rear window defroster/side mirror heaters. I blew that fuse along with the radio the other day on my 03 Limited. Does anyone know which fuse this is. I swear I have pulled all of them and would really like to avoid a trip to...

    Sulfur (aka. Rotten Egg) Smell on '03 4Runners

    Sorry if this was already covered...I didn't read through all pages of this post. I never notice the sulfur smell unless my rear window is down AND I am either accelerating hard or driving up a hill. The air flow at the back of the truck forces air into the cabin. Since I realized this, I...
