Hello All, My wife and I are trying to figure out what to do with our 2003 4Runner. We just bought it a year and a half ago, but we had it at the dealer a week ago and received some unfortunate news. One of the front XREAS shocks is starting to leak. (The price was a bit shocking.) We also...

Sorry. Just saw this. We climb in and out of the side doors, but it's difficult for me to get out without waking my wife :fear:

The sleeping quarters. :p

The sun roof.

We like to camp, but it's such a drag to set up and tear down. I made these real cheap. We went camping with friends and family. We tore down and packed up in 15-20 minutes. (Of course, we then spent 3 hours helping everyone else "tear down" and pack up tents and RVs.) Some places don't want...

That is weird…I don't get it. :confused: Either way, he said the worst thing that could happen would be the development of leaks. Our other car is a MINI, and we just replaced the engine in it. I don't want to go through that again, so that's why we bought the 4Runner. (I'm super crazy about...

Okay. I stopped by the dealership on the way home, and I feel fairly confident that I got accurate information. I spoke with the service manager, and he seemed to know his stuff…which makes me feel better. I feel like I got the answer to a question I've had rolling around in my head: Why...

Thank you all for your input. I read quite a bit before posting, but I couldn't seem to find anything very official when it comes to our 4Runner and the 0w20 oil. Of course, there's that document/chart that says it's okay to use 5w20, but there isn't a green dot saying the 0w20 is alright...

We recently bought an 03 4Runner v8 with 55,000 miles on it. We just took it into the dealer to get the oil changed. (We have an engine warranty, but we have to get the oil changed at this dealer to keep it.) I was dumb and asked for synthetic. I didn't realize Toyota only has one weight in...

It's a 2000 v6. …pretty old I suppose.

I've never had a truck before this, so I've always dealt with spark plug wires. Our MINI and our Mustang both have them. I was looking at the 4runner's engine today, and I have to say it makes more sense that way. There's definitely less to go wrong. I suppose you have to remove the air box to...

Oh…LOL! :boom: That make sense…thank you! We just bought this 4Runner, and I've never dealt this anything like that. Boy do I feel dumb!

Those are slick :cheers:

I've just spend an hour or so looking for an oem spark plug wire set. I'm replacing the spark plugs in our '03 v8. I'm getting the Denso SK20R11 which appear to be OE. However, I'm having a heck of a time finding the part number for the spark plug wire set. Is this one ok? Amazon.com: Denso...

Awesome! That's what I needed to know. Sounds good! Thank you! I may get under it and check, but I'm not going to lose any sleep.
