I was right there with you on a hail damage claim from 2005. No pdr done at the time just panel replacement. I still have the 4Runner with about 290k on it now and the paint still looks brand new after 15 years of not being garaged in the New Mexico sun. No leaks either. However, the plastic...

I wasn't able to solve it. Instead, I decided to keep the cigarette lighter disconnected and I would run the inverter from the hatch outlet to where the 2nd row seats where my son can plug in his ipad. I'm not that good at this type of work and so this half ass job is good enough for me :) I...

Thanks for the quick response. I’ll give that a try.

Hi, Any thoughts regarding why the power outlet and cigarette lighter fuse would blow after installing pioneer avh-271. I also installed a parking brake bypass and I think everything is hooked up correctly. Non jbl, no steering wheel controls. Thanks

I have an 04 v6 sr5 4wd and I’m still on the original alternator and starter at 282,000 miles. I did have to replace the original battery in 2013 at around 180000 miles. Hope that helps.

This is a picture of the a new rav4 adventure package. Not the 18 4runner.

Hi all, 240k on my 04 v6 4x4. I've never changed transmission fluid and it seems to run good as new. I am the original owner.

My preference is for 7 I don't think it will matter that much because Microsoft will be giving away windows 10 in July and everyone who has windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 will be able to upgrade for free if your using 7 or 8. Its supposed to be a lot more user friendly. Hope that helps.

Finally replaced my panasonic battery after 10 years and 203,000 miles. It was a good run but I went to get it charged and autozone said the plates inside the battery had come in contact with each other and had made some sort of acidic smell and wouldn't hold a charge. Went to Sams Club and...

I just came from costco here in albuquerque and they said that they don't carry a size 27 battery for the 4runner. Do you know what size you ended up getting or will anything work. The closest they showed me was a 23. Thanks. By the way, My original panasonic has lasted over 10 years and...

I'm not trying to be a jerk here but this conversation is still pretty one sided and I feel bad that any of you had this problem. However, therre are many examples of 4runners that have over 200k. In fact the highest mileage 4th gen is a v6 and he/she (8007M) has over 433K. Here are some...

I drive a lot of highway miles but I just changed mine for the 1st time at 178k. They were pulsating and I thought it was the front brakes needing to be resurfaced but I checked the back and changed pads and discs and that took care of the problem.

This is the review I wrote for mine in May. Hope that helps. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/116487-update-goodyear-silent-armour-tires.html

also chk that the 4lo is working well...in most v6 cos of lack of use..it ends of sticking...n its an expensive fix $2k plus! Competely disagree with the above post. You want to make sure it is working just like in any 4wd vehicle but it is not a problem in "most v6's". This is...
