After reading the link he provided, and other threads/websites, I started to get the same idea.. Everything I saw pointed to wheel balance due to the hub centric/lug centric issue. It doesn't bother me that much because it's very slight, but it could be putting some uneven wear on the tires, right?

Alrighty - got the key fob off ebay for about 35 shipped, it shipped out yesterday so we will see how it goes! And oh yeah, here's a pic from this morning!

Just got (this week!) an '01 SR5 4WD with 150k on the clock, it runs great, natty white with oak interior, all the options ( I think) minus the sunroof and leather. It's in great 'southern' condition, only cosmetic problem is a crack in the windshield... paid $7000 for it.

Hehe, If I remember correctly it said Cingular, so I was assuming it was for a mobile phone, but it seemed kind of odd to me to have an antenna mounted on the car.. I guess the signal was that bad.

Thanks for the help! I will look into the tierods issue, and check out the wiring harness to see what I can find out. I do know at one point it had a car cell system hooked up, then antenna mount is still in the back drivers side window, and I found a small wire coming out from behind the...

So I finally got my 4Runner, 01' SR5, 4x4 auto with 153k on it... A few questions... I know the mileage is a little high, but what maintenance would you guys recommend? The engine runs like a top, very quiet, all fluids look good.. no issues with it really, but I'm curious if there is...

Been looking for a decently priced 3rd Gen 4Runner in the North Alabama area for awhile now but they seem a bit scarce. Must be a V6, prefer 4WD, and in overall decent condition of course. Trim level not a big deal... I've already been scouring online and in local papers for sometime, but...

Thanks man, PM sent. BTW, since I'm not going to be big on the offroading (nothing serious, maybe occasional 4wd need due to camping, etc) would it be worth it to go with a 2WD from a maintenance perspective? Do the 4WD systems cause more trouble in the long run? (especially on a 9-10 year...

Thanks for the affirmations.. Just gotta keep my head up.. I've been looking for awhile and good 4WD 4runner's are tough to find for sale around here... I see them on the road every day, but hardly any for sale. I mean, I'm no offroader, this will be more of a daily driver for me, but it...

I've really fallen in love with the 4Runner and I found a decent 2WD '99 recently, but I'm curious - the place (used car lot) is asking about $7000 for it, but they say they it comes with a 2 year warranty on the drive-train... and oh yeah, it's got 199k miles on it. I didn't see the SR5...
