Oh yeah, checked every last stinking fuse! >.<

My "twins": '99 & '00 Limited -- stock, bought both used over 4 years ago -- nothing modded, just tires. Maxxis 750 Bravo HTs 265/70/R16

Good stuff! Well worth a sticky.

Welcome aboard from a fellow NCarolinian :) This is a fantastic site with great info & helpful peeps!

Nah, it's a new battery, and I scuffed all the dried corrosion from the terminal connectors with one of those brushes...also put new terminal pads & connector lubricant on it. :)

That's the only explanation I've gotten so far...I've checked recalls and such for it and there's nothing for the cluster, so I haven't thought about taking it to a dealership. I lost a little faith in going to a dealership after calling two of them and getting this kind of response: T...

My '00 T4R Limited sat on a dead battery for maybe 2-3 months. When I replaced the battery, the odometer started flashing...all 8s. 888888! I've called 2 Toyo dealerships and neither of them had a clue. The center dash lighting is messed up some too (radio face flickers like a loose...

Welcome to the CLT -- aka the Queen City! :) I actually only live less than 2 miles away from the airport. If you're in Uptown make sure you just go walk! Beautiful architecture, art, sculptures everywhere, waterscapes...just really nice. For some kickarse brews & BBQ, check out Mac's Speed...

No rush at all, slow and steady indeed...smart driving abounds! It's a 1-way trip for the '99 only -- it's not coming back to NC with us. Again, I don't have anyone to drive the '99 so that's why I'm not worried about fixing it at the moment. I really do think it's doable, just was a...

Yep, that was my debacle...trying to do an online reservation and U-haul wouldn't let it. Further digging tells me U-Haul requires the following for a car dolly: -- RWD towed vehicle weight less than 3900 (check! 3710lb) -- Tow vehicle must weigh >750lb more than vehicle being towed (check...

Okay, so if I had my guess, plenty of someones are going to roll their eyes and think I'm an idiot for considering what I'm about to ask...but I'm on the desperate side and need advice. I have a '99 4R Ltd (2wd V6) with a bad tie rod that I need to get moved to 270mi away from where it's...

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease check your U-Joint!!! My '99 Ltd would make a pretty loud obvious "clank" when dropping it into D, and that was the exact problem. (Sorry the pic is so big, wanted you to see the bent end on the joint -- yikes!) mK

My '99 LTD has over 240k, my '00 LTD has about 150k :)

Hey all! Proud owner of "TWIN" 4-Runners (see my profile pic), cell phone forum admin, "mom" to an 80lb English Bulldog, lucky wife to a fantastic guy, and all around self-professed geek. Needed some info to help me out with my drivable babies and this forum is where I landed. :) 1999 4R...
