    Battery Drained overnight. What should I check next?

    2018 4x Battery is 1 year new, heavy duty. Drained dead completely, after a couple of days while not used. No dash lights, nothing. Previous drive was just a couple of miles, so I think it's a current drain issue and not a charging issue. There are no aftermarket electronics, sound, etc...

    My ABS is going to kill me.

    Great to know! This rig sat for the past 7 years without moving at 9,000 ft as I was in another location. I jumped in, changed the oil, jump started it, drove it across Colorado and it's running great. The brakes work fine on pavement but wouldn't surprise me if it had some water in lines...

    My ABS is going to kill me.

    1998 4WD, the ABS has always terrified me. Basically slides on gravel, no stopping power which is not fun when you are in and around 600' drops. Now with the first snow in Colorado, several times I almost slid into the car in front of me, or through an intersection on a downslope even when...

    Quick Question - Will a Set of Tires fit inside 4runner? to transport.

    at 31" dia. x 11" tall, it seems like you could stack them in the center on top of each other no worries?

    Quick Question - Will a Set of Tires fit inside 4runner? to transport.

    I'm having someone drive my vehicle from 6 hrs away today. I have a set of spare tires there. If I remember correctly they are 1 step up in size, or maybe they are stock, not sure. They are not giant or largely oversized but they are not small. Will a full set of tires fit inside a gen3 for...

    '98 not moved in 7 years. Can I drive it for 2 blocks?

    A neighboring property owner asked I move my '98 4R 4WD. I plan to use it in a couple of years, but it's been sitting 7 yrs and will sit again for another 2 yrs before use. I camped out in Denver for 6 weeks in the winter looking at dozens of 4R's to find this vehicle and I work out of state...

    DIFF LOCK>> Can I leave it LOCKED for long term (snowbank) storage?

    sounds like good news all around, glad to hear it...and amazing fast response from the 4R crew, as usual... :cheers: Doesn't sound like a problem, but the diff lock sticker seems a bit cautious and cryptic, causing me to wonder if there's more to it than meets the eye. maybe it's just tech...

    DIFF LOCK>> Can I leave it LOCKED for long term (snowbank) storage?
