Thanks everyone for the ideas. It looks like the steering rack bushings and the column slip joint would be good places to check.

I am wondering if anyone has done any adjustment to their steering box. I see is has what appears to be an adjustment screw on top of the unit. I used to have a Triumph TR4 with a similar box and adjustment screw. If one tightened the screw about 1/8th of a turn it would take some play out if...

Thanks for the feedback on the radio. I ordered a used unit on eBay at a pretty decent price and switched it out. Yes, the FM tuner had conked out.

Turned on the radio in my 2002 SR5 last week and the FM volume was gone. The motorized antenna still operates. The CD player has volume. The AM still has a couple channels that work, but honestly I never listen to AM, so I do not know what is normal operation. I understand there are two antenna...

I bought the truck not knowing it was losing about 12 oz of coolant every 7-800 miles. It took pressure check to find out it blew out white smoke at start up. It had a cracked head.

My wheel looked OK, but was worn so smooth it was slippery. I have put Wheelskins on several cars and decided to do it again on the SR5. It takes a little patience and about 45 minutes. I think they hold up well. I used plain black. I like the increased grip size. Not too big, just right.

It is amazing how these trucks typically hold up appearance wise. Yours looks pretty good. $3,500 doesn't sound too bad.

Seem to have similar experience as others with dead links. I work as a webmaster on another unrelated website with many links. It takes constant checking on links. Luckily I get paid a little.

Seems like everyone gets a better deal than my experience. I bought a 2002, that had the check engine light removed, which of course I did not notice, that had a cracked head. yes I am an idiot. There was no coolant in the oil and it seemed to run OK. I paid $3800 for rebuilt heads installed at...

Looks simple and effective.

I unknowingly bought a 2002 SR5 with 230K that had a cracked head. I paid $4100 for rebuilt heads installed at a local Japanese repair shop in Seattle.

Can you tell me where you sourced the hood struts? Thanks

I have had a 2002 SR5 for about a year now. Previously I had a 2006 TSX that had great seats, and I could do 10-12 hours in the car with no problems. My 4Runner has the sport seats, and early on I found that after 250 miles my back and bottom were hurting. This is a vehicle I wanted to take on...

Amazing undertaking. I am just trying to fix my radio.

OK, this is my fourth post, or fourth rung up the ladder, which I am still unable to see the top of, to be able to actually ask a question. Another forum I belong to requires a number of posts before you can add a link/picture to your thread or post. This makes more sense. Am I supposed to...
