Hello my fellow 4Runner enthusiasts, I've had the dreaded P0500 code for about a year now. It has minimal impact on the drivability of the car, so I've neglected really diving into it until now. Here are the details: - P0500 Code - Vehicle Speed Sensor 'A' - Typical VSC off/TRAC lights on with...

Nobody listed in CA, but was able to get a pull out the other day. Ended up being the CV axle that killed 4WD.

'Twas the axle - phew! Shouldn't hurt too much, and I should have it back this afternoon (just in time for the next snowstorm).

285's on snow, was able to rock it pretty good. Rear tire wouldn't bump out of the ditch and when it did would slip on the snow and then dig deeper. Was able to pull it out today & dropped it off at my mechanic tonight. I'll let you guys know what the damage is.

Yeah - NOT great timing for me to mess around in 2WD on a snowy hill, and then overlook the rules for 4LO/center diff (pretty sure you're supposed to keep your wheels straight to reduce strain). On top of that, it hasn't stopped snowing since Sunday night & we are probably around the 4 foot...

Hey guys, I'm in Lake Tahoe where we've been getting a ton of snow over the past few days, and on Sunday night made the genius decision to try to drive up my road with ~a foot of snow in 2WD to "see how far I could get." Long story short, I slid off the road into a ditch, and when I was engaged...

It has been a wild few days for sure. We've been waiting for a storm like this all year and now the timing just seems awful. Truck update: still stuck. Triple A sent a flatbed Sunday night and Monday morning, but they need a smaller truck to get to where I am and they just called saying they...

Wanted to see how far I could get in 2WD up my friend's road near Donner Lake in the snow. Slid into a ditch and think I blew my transfer case so 4WD is out. Tried to pull out with my friend's 3rd gen but the lack of 4WD in my truck has us handicapped pretty bad. Anyone in the area looking for...

Stupid question - what do you mean by something threaded? Would the Morimoto Mini D2S Stage III fit that criteria?

Oh I’m sure something else unforeseen will happen before this mod is complete :) Btw I was looking into retrofitting my headlights and have been reading through your threads. Any tips you can offer? I’ll be using my 05 OEM housings, so a little bit different. Why did you choose the G5-BRT over...

Looks like it was indeed a blown fuse. Haven't had a chance to test the fogs with a new fuse yet, but my multimeter confirmed the fog fuse was blown.

I didn't have a spare fog bulb to test, but I did use a lowlight bulb in the fog connector and that also didn't get any power. I'll check the fuse tomorrow.

Okay, I will do that. If that were the issue, what would the proper resolution be? [edit] And actually, the fogs wouldn't work in the low light harness if the polarity was reversed right? So I wonder if it's something else.

Hey guys, I've done a ton of searching, but can't come up with a solution or a similar scenario. I installed an ARB bumper ~1.5 years ago, and decided against installing fogs at the time. I decided I needed a new mod, so I bought these on Amazon and they just arrived today. They plug directly...

How much did this run you? I've been dealing with the same issue. Replaced the O2 sensors, but the codes returned. Trying to avoid the $$ required to replace the cat.
