Well I managed to get stuck 2 foot snow drift Cop shows up in ford explorer..........gets stuck Neighbor shows up in f150 with shovel 2 people went home with a bruised ego, one with a smile on their face :p

well.........that storm sucked The Blizzaks on the other hand provided excellent traction in the snow, both on the road and unplowed parking lots.

Thats good to hear. Thanks!!

I have a question about the full time 4wd on the 4runner limited. When I cut the wheels all the way to the left or right, and start to take off, theres a vibration for about 2 seconds then goes away. Its only from when I'm at a complete stop and start to take off with the wheels all the way to...

2014 1st time off the road

I have an 08 4runner and had an 08 fj both with the 4.0 They both had a ticking/clattering noise upon start up for the first few minutes. It sounded like diesel clatter. But this is a low end knocking sound, the service manager even acknowledged that this wasn't something that any of the...

no luck I got back from the dealer earlier, They told me to take the 4runner back because they can't find anything wrong with the car, "the sound is normal" I refused to take the truck back. Just got off the phone with Toyota HQ, they said I'd be contacted back Monday to see if I can get my...

i'm looking into a lemon law attorney. Under NY state Lemon Law the car has to be at the dealership for 30+ days in order to get your money back, or you have to bring it to the dealer 4 times and after the 4th time, if the problem isn't fixed or solved, you can pursue the lemon law and get an...

they told me to take it back until the engineer comes, but I refused because knowing them once the engineer takes a look at it they'd say something like, you shouldn't have been driving it around cause now it caused more damage.

got off the phone earlier with the dealership. They created a task number, and have audio recordings of the knocking sound. Next step is to get the engineer out here which will be "sometime in October" All there's left to do is wait :pout:

thanks guys. I know I've only had the 4runner a few days but jeez the withdrawal i'm having is horrendous haha

Just got back from the dealership It's definitely a knock. The service manager has to start a case number and have an engineer come out and take a look at the 4runner to see if they can rectify the problem. With only 345 miles on the car and not even being a week old this shouldn't be happening...

Well I dropped the 4runner off at my dealership. I have a service appointment with the service manager first thing tomorrow morning. They're going to leave it there overnight and have me come in and start it up to see if we can replicate the sound. The guy at the service department gave me a...
