    2008 Sport V8 -> 2016/2017 Trail Premium?

    Following up a few years later... Bought a Tesla Model S ROFL! I did miss my baby, so much so that I kept an eye out for her and then I found out she was killed: https://en.bidfax.info/toyota/4runner/6569876-toyota-4runner-sr5-2008-silver-47l-8-vin-jtebt14r08k003202.html So if you bought my...

    I was debating honking but I figured it would cause them to look my way and definitely end up in some serious issues... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    My tailgate struts are not lifting as well in the 20F weather but they're probably due to be replaced. (2008, 91k miles) Replacements inbound.

    2008 Sport V8 -> 2016/2017 Trail Premium?

    To upgrade or not to upgrade? I've got my 2008 Sport V8 with about 90k miles on it still, have been pondering an update and was hoping 2017's would be out by now but looks like that's actually happening in 2017... Has anyone else gone up to 5th gen from 4th, specifically the V8 Sport to a...

    Grease guns

    The problem I run into is that in order to screw the end on, there is still some pressure placed on the spring which can cause the 'lock' to release and then the whole thing flies apart. Maybe I'm getting some pressure built up inside and the plunger isn't going in enough while screwing the cap...

    Grease guns

    Mine has a bleeder but that isn't my problem. My problem is the design of the gun and how you get the dang thing back together is a royal pain in the arse. There has to be a better designed gun that doesn't make you feel like you're putting a spring on a strug with your bare hands...or am I...

    In the market for a Car jack

    I have one of the Craftsman 3 Ton SUV jacks (The yellow/black one). It failed on me. Jacked the car up, later tried to bring it down and it wouldn't get and pressure to lift. Fluid was a little low, filled it up and seemed to be working OK for a while but is doing the same thing now, didn't...

    Grease guns

    OK, today I decided to wash the car, then brought it in the garage and thought I'd hit the grease fittings on the drive shaft... Got one done, went to next, no pressure...hm, out of grease? OK, refill time! Well...45 minutes later and several sessions of irate cursing I could not get the dang...

    'Bump' at a stop?

    Annoying isn't it? It's the driveshaft shifting on the splined portion suddenly. My dealer denies that it's a common problem and just shrugs at me.
