Hello, Any of you fellow T4R owners have the Knock Sensor replaced? My '06 SR5 V6 with 122K miles will need to have one replaced. It is located under the Intake. Cost: $1300. Should I repair it or send it to the Bone Yard in the sky, or the shredder? It seems the rig has become a money pit...

Hello, Recent Mac switcher. Own 2 MBPs, iPad, iPhone 4 and iPod. I like simplicity, ease of use, and no headaches. Windows gives me headaches from maintenance. I do run Bootcamp/VMware Fusion 3 with Windows 7 on a Core i7 8GB RAM 17" MBP, which is a vast improvement from Vista. veriZon has...

Hello, While I have been thinking about trading in my 4G for a 5G, I saw an interesting promotion from a Stealer in Baltimore, MD. $4500 off MSRP for a Limited with Nav and get this: 2.99% Financing for 60 Months. February Special Only. A Limited for $37,800.00 is not bad. :bravo:

Hello, An image of us snowbound:

Hello, The State of Delaware is snowed in. The Governor declared a State of Emergency and ordered all vehicles off the roads. The National Guard has been deployed and is arresting people for traveling on the roads. They ride around in H1 Hummers with DSP and other LEOs. Was plowed in so even...

Hello, HERE is a breakdown of the differences between the CTS and Denso made accelerator pedal assembly from The Truth About Cars. Someone took the time to take the assemblies apart and compare them. TTAC recommends TMC use the Denso unit and discontinue use of the CTS unit, even after...

Hello, Talk about being kicked when you are down, according to USA Today Article, Government Motors is offering $1000 Cash Back and 0% Financing to those who trade in a Toyota for a GM Car. :wtf: The GM Stealers state they are receiving calls from concerned Toyota Model owners. TMC Quality has...

The 4Runner is made in Japan, and does not use parts from CTS. The accelerator is made by Denso. :)

Hello, Left Front Caliper frozen at 61XXX Miles. The stealer replaced the pads and turned the rotors. They also "nursed" :wtf: the caliper back to health and it worked for a while, then it froze again. :( The Aftermarket Extended Warranty (Fidelity or South East Toyota) is replacing the left...

Hello, Anyone try Westin Automotive ? I checked their website and they have 3 types of running boards, 3 Grill Guards, and a Bull Bar for the 5th G T4R. Just FYI... :)

Hello, According to this ARTICLE, Toyota NA President Jim Lentz says they may not continue with the current generation or a new generation of T4R/FJC. He believes crossovers are the answer. :redbrick:

Nice Day for a Drive Hello, 8-14 inches forecast here in Middletown, Delaware. I was out at 0700 Hrs and it was a joy to drive the Runner. The Michelin LTX M/S 2 tires did a fine job. Too many stupid people on the road that shouldn't be out. :ybrick:

The ride of the M/S² is similar, if not better than the CTs. The M/S² is a little stiff due the threadwear rating, the ride is smooth but a little stiff, a little bouncy at times, like a truck which the T4R is. The ride is good and better than I expected. The CTs were the best wearing tire I...

Hello, Well after some careful consideration between Revo 2 and LTX M/S², I decided on the Michelins. I was able to get 62K miles out of the factory Cross Terrains and wanted to try Michelin again. Its a great tire. No noise! Very quiet tire for a treadwear rating of 720. You would think the...

Hello, Well, I consider Function over Form. I put 56 miles on a Level II, had to fill the tank because it was full before I left the Stealership. Only $0.75 needed. Fascinating. It is not an awful car. I think its a neat car for what it does. I would like the Level 5 but it doesn't come with...
