Is you're set available? I'd be shipping to Seattle.

Well good news from my mechanic. He let the vehicle sit and dry for a couple days and its running fine again. He looked into it as much as he could and he thinks it might have to do with the rear oxygen sensors either getting wet or because of a sudden temperature dip because of water getting...

No water inside the vehicle. We had a consistent pace all the way through the water.

I did a couple water crossings well off roading the other day, and may have bit off more than I can chew on one of them. I kept a consistent speed, and had a good bow wave in front of me, but there were moments where the water was up to the headlights. On the trail after one of the longer...

Hey Folks, The lock on my rear hatch has been working fine until yesterday. I replaced the rear actuator for the window because of a leak that caused the mounts that hold the window to rust. That whole process went smoothly, but during that process I had to disconnect a bunch of the wiring in...

That makes sense. I did cross a bit of a stream yesterday before that happened. I figured it might be a sensor or something, but cause its switches fine after a restart. So what would you recommend doing?

Any recommendations for a garage near downtown or west end (Etobicoke)?

Out of no where over the past few days my differential lock light has been flashing on even though I haven't pressed the button. Usually a restart or engaging then disengaging the dif will shut it off. And more recently the 4LO light has started to flash at the same time, even though I haven't...

My mount just broke the other day well going over rough roads. I was able to get the window back up, but now I can't open it. Has any one found a solution?

You're right. I didn't account for that but it would make complete sense. Duties/Import Fees are another area where we may get hit. I know when purchasing things like electronics etc from the states, there's usually a significant price difference. Anyways, I've done my fair share of research...

The Canadian auto market is a fraction of the US hence speciality vehicles like the 4runner are harder to find. I noticed the same thing when I was looking at FJs.

I think 4runners go for a bit more up here in Canada, or maybe its because they're rarer. Regardless, there isn't much in my price range. I'm getting a base model, but it has 30,000kms less than most in this area. I have the option of going higher milage (180-200,000kms) for the same price and...

I'm looking at purchasing a 2004 SR5 v8 with 157kms on it for $12k. The vehicle is in great shape cosmetically, and was well taken care of. I'm buying a well reviewed, but new to me, used car dealership. It is far from home and I wasn't able to get my mechanic to come out and look at it. I took...
