Hello all, I just noticed today on my 2003 SE V8 that when the headlights are on and I open the door there is no audio chime! Does the 4runner have an auto shutoff features? On a side note I had an autostart installed, perhaps they bypassed the chimes or maybe our vechiles just don't chime at...

Anyone ever try installing Alpine Type-S 6x9 speakers into the fronts of a 4th gen? I wanted to make sure they weren't too deep and would fit. I know you need to play with the factory brackets, I'm mainly concerned about them fitting in the doors.

Just had my drive shaft lubed on my 03 SE V8 at Champion Toyota in Philly and it took care of the problem. I don't understand how you would not want to regularly have it lubricated since it is an open drive shaft and not sealed, it will eventually dry up by design. I would assume many non...

Ride isnt that bad at all in my opinion. Maybe because of the XREAS?

Well it's the max psi for those tires. I always thought that was the best pressure to have them at.

I've read other V8 owners claiming to lead foot it in the city and still get 14 which is where my concern came from.

How do I initialize the windows?

Just hit 34k, I have the Dunlops at 51 psi (I did that yesterday), going to check the plugs and filters this weekend. BTW, passenger side of the 4runner had 51 psi in both tires, the driver's side had like 30 in both tires, think that could have contributed?

Like I wrote above, I've been driving fairly conservatively and mostly city, but from what I've read 12 is still very low. I am calculating my MPG using my trip and how much I pump at the station. Anyone else know anything disconnecting the battery and reseting the ECM as a way of improving...

And my name is also Joe. Funny. I'll try hitting AutoZone this week, if nothing comes up I'll PM you. If anyone else out there has some suggestions please comment away.

MoNkV6 is just a handle I've used for a while. Yes I indeed have the v8, ironically I also live in Philly. I have no idea AutoZone will check your codes for free.

If I could get that with the Stock Tires, I'd be happy. I'm wondering if a diagnostic at a dealer would help.

Hello all, New to the forums, just bought an 03 4Runner SE V8. Love the vehicle! Have a few problems; sulfer smell issue (we all have this), the issue with not enough lubricant on the slip yoke (getting this fixed now), but the biggest issue I believe is unique to me (I tried searching). I'm...
