I know people have used silicone grease on the sliding parts of the moon roof which seems to work from what they've said. I've used silicone spray on my '03 because it was easier just spraying anything that looked like it moved/should move/could stick/had old "grease" residue on it. Also a...

What!?!? I paid $15 a few months ago at Autozone here in the US. If you can't find a comparable store up there is it not possible to order online from somewhere here in the US?

My top hinge pin is bent, so much so that I can just open it enough to get the fuel nozzle in there at an angle. I tried to bend it back but it looks like I'm more likely to break it than bend it back into place. I guess I'm not understanding things (plus I can't get the fuel door open enough...

2003 with same issue. First showed up sometime this summer when I noticed what looked like a shadow on the dash on a rainy day. A lot less noticeable than OP's picture (my camera phone wouldn't pick up enough detail to post.). My dash line is within an inch or two of OP's dash pic, but a little...

I should add that's Barcelona Red Metallic on a Trail model.

Follow up for MikeInNH since you mentioned this. I stopped by the dealership to get some info about the rear calipers failing and asked to speak with one of their senior mechanics. He said that although he couldn't be 100% sure, he couldn't remember having to replace a rear caliper...plenty of...

I don't know the frequency of rear failure....way less I'm sure. It felt like a slight drag when coasting, no noise, pull or shake or any other symptoms. I doubt most people (average drivers) would have even noticed it. When I got back home I could smell the brakes and both rotors were hot as...

82K both rears completely frozen, driver side front sticky and passenger side front o.k. Unfortuantely, it looks like two rotors also for good measure. Disappointed, but expected this day to come...thanks Toyota!

Like the title says, Board vs. 4Runner....more specifically, a 2" x 12" fell and scraped across the front end. This is on an '03 and Silver in color. It left a softball size area of damage on the plastic fascia directly above the fog lights. I actually used a Magic Eraser and got about 95% of...

I checked my air filter this weekend after we finally had rain to wash off all of the road salt. Around here in this part of the Midwest there has been so much salt residue between snow storms that there are huge clouds of salty haze when the roads dry off---enough that you can taste it when...

I see you reinstalled the vBSEO, so I guess it doesn't matter now, but here are some more specifics for future reference: searching for "4runner org" "4Runner org" or "4Runner" "4runner" or similar phrases would produce the correct website link, but clicking on the link would result in the...

I started getting a redirect the last couple of days when searching for the T4R.org website. It goes to "url2short.info" website. Tried this on another computer on a different network with same results. Asked somebody to try it on theirs and he got the same result. There have been known issues...

I can't say if it's "normal", but I've noticed a similar braking scenario on two 4th Gens (a 2003 and 2004) under light braking. Under heavier braking, this seems not to occur. Neither vehicle had any known mechanical issues with the brakes.

The third PDF you included has the sight glass test to check for freon level. I check on it periodcially and before the summer heat hits because it's so easy to do. It might be a good idea for people to give that a look first to see what you might be dealing with before spending any money. That...
