None taken.

I just bought a 2001 SR5 2WD with 143K and an excellent, documented service history. The CA price was just under 6k. I’d have to agree, Leon.

I went with the standard from SuperBrightLEDs. They are a definite improvement over stock, but not blindingly bright. Thanks for the LED panel suggestion - I’ll take a look.

Striker hood support struts Yes. I touched up some minor chipping around the drilled hood support holes.

Led interior bulbs, hood lift struts Installed LED bulbs in the map, passenger, cargo, license plate and glove box lights. Installed the Spiker hood lift strut kit. Thanks for such a well made kit, 4Runner4Leon!

From Mtbtim above: When I can't seem to get a drum off, I take out the rubber plug on the backing plate, use a small screwdriver to push the self-adjuster plate away from the star wheel adjuster and then turn the star wheel a bunch of times to back off the shoes from the drum. After that, the...

Maintenance, etc Did a 12qt. trans flush using Timmy the Toolman’s video. I’ve only had my 2001 SR5 for about 6 weeks, and I’m continually amazed at the overall condition. The underside looks like it rolled off the assembly line a few weeks ago. While under there, I noticed my sway bar...

New owner - enjoying the thread Just a quick note of thanks for the well documented thread. Great info for a new owner.

Thanks Tim! New to the forum with a new to me 4Runner. Just a quick thanks to Tim for helping me sort out a few early projects. The videos on LBJ’s, transmission flush and hood struts have already helped. Radiator replacement is next on the list. FYI, I just purchased a 2001 SR5 2WD from the...

A/C Pressure relief valve? Do these trucks have an AC pressure relief valve? Honda Civics are famous for this noise when the AC system is over pressure. I did a little research, and it looks like some Toyota’s have them on the back of the compressor. It seems odd that this would happen after...
