When I bought my wife her 2003 Camry, there was no manual available. I kept watching and as soon as the new body style Camry come out I was able to find the Haynes manual. I believe that once a body style changes, then they release the aftermarket manual. TS

Not really a reply, more of a comment. Thanks for your service! TS (SFC Retired)

I did change mine the day after I got it. Didn't like them unlocking as soon as you hit Park. In the owners manual it tells you how to change them, but.................. if I remember correctly, the manual is backwards. Do what it tells you to make the locks operate how they are now, and it...

I'm curious, when you all say that it is now level, were are you measuring or what are you considering to be level? Since I have been watching this site, I've read various post about lifts and leveling the 4Runner. I do agree that the front looks low and should come up some. When I briefly...

Original tires, 5000 miles and yes rotating 3 on the right. When I took my spare down, I didn't like the indentations left from where the tire hits the frame/brackets underneath. At first I thought it had actually rubbed away the rubber but after looking it was just indentions. They are still...

Thanks CJ3Flyr. Great help. Looks like I follow the 5 tire rotation idea. I will follow the Toyota recommendation because I do not agree with the side to side rotation. Did it once on my Tacoma and hed problems. The front end shimmed real bad. Tried re-balance, no good. Put them back on...

May sound like a stupid question but I never had a vehicle that the spare wheel matched. Usually was just a plain steel rim. Question is are you doing the 5 tire rotation using the spare on the right side of the vehicle and why or why not? I did search this topic and couldn't find anything...

Tacoma the Same? For those of you removing the skid plate, will this work. On my 95 Tacoma I take a piece of house rain gutter, maybe 30-34 inches long, bent the end together a little, slide it from the back side up and under the oil filter. It stays in place because the exhaust pipe is...

Was Every 2500, Now Every 5000 For the past 25 years I have changed the oil in every vehicle at 2500 miles with dino oil and new filter. After reading some of the many comments I decided to start doing mine every 5000. Thought about going to synthetic oil but then I ask why? As one of the...

What oil do you use: Brand? Synthetic/Blend/Conventional? Viscosity? Why? What oil filter do you use? How often do you change your oil?

ecrew16, How about some closer up pics? Tried to click on the pic above but did not come up. I have a 08 Sport, like the idea and would like to see more pics of yours. TS

CJ3Flyr, thanks for the info, but I want a solid wall RV. For my use a collapsible is not practical. Also trying to avoid making alterations, additions to the 4R. Not that I'm against that or can't. It's because everything I get into seems to take twice as long and cost at least twice as...

Second the request for pics of the wheels in flat black. Are they the stock wheels? Cost to get them done? TS

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I normally test drive anything I buy for at least a day to see just how it rides/runs so I will do the same with this. I just wanted to get an idea of what I should be looking at, size and weight wise. I do plan on looking at some of the RV forums...

I did a search and from what I read on other threads, towing a 30 foot RV that weights 5000lbs is not good. I'm in the market for a RV that will be at camp most of the time. However, every now and then I would like to be able to travel with it. I had a 95 Tacoma with the 4 cylinder and when I...
