    Diagnose Grinding Sound when Turning

    Jack up the front end and with hands at 12 and 6, see if there is any movement in the wheels. If so, probably the bearing(s). I had this on my drivers front that was progressively getting louder over the last couple of months (338000 kms on the truck so definitely time to change) Ordered two...

    High Mileage Poll

    Just passed 330000 km/206000 miles. No rust on the body, yet, though the winters have left the undercarriage ugly. Replaced the rear liftgate because of no window, washer, wiper or defrost in Dec. Had it cheaply repainted to match but now am seeing some rust bubbling under the paint...

    BFG KO2’s

    I am running 275/70-17's with my 2.75-3" lift on my '03 Sport for my summer tires and they are pretty good. Last summer had about 8000 kms and minimal wear. They rub a little on fenders at full lock and compression but not a big deal. Little noiser than the old Michelins i had before the lift...

    FINALLY a Cure for Backup / Reverse Lights

    Wow, quick and easy. Ordered some for my 03 Sport and my wife's '14 RAV4 and what a difference. Now I am looking at LED's all around for both. Looks like her's will be straightforward, given the existing projector lights she has but my reflector type are more difficult. Oh well THnaks to...

    ABS motor bad

    I posted a question about a squealing in another thread that I am encountering and through some digging, I think it might be the same? I took a video of it when depressing the brake. Could someone verify if they have the same thing and then i will continue down the path of trying to find an...

    Squealing/grinding sound from under Driver dash?

    Anyone know what this sound might be? This is in my '03 4Runner Sport with a 4.0L It has been occurring for the last two years, more in the winter or cooler times of the year and thought it was something to do with the heater and fan because of the timing of the seasons. Finally got under the...

    Exhaust shield hitting my driveshaft!

    Mine did that last year, when the aluminum corroded away. I cut a couple of pieces of aluminum, around 2"x2" and used them as washers and reinstalled it. 10 min fix. Should be good for another 10 years.

    Looking for Liftgate / Tailegate Removal Instructions (Whole Assembly)

    I replaced my rear hatch this past weekend with one I found from a wrecker. Pretty straightforward on reinstallation except that it is not perfectly lined up. The gap between gate and body on the upper driver side is about 4mm whereas the passenger side is about 2mm. Played around with...

    Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

    Spring is finally here so the new wheels and tires went on after doing the lift last fall. ProComp 135 with BFG KO 2's 275/70-17. Rubbing on the front liner and mudflaps so cut them a bit. Have about 2cm/1inch clearance before the body mount so feeling good about that. Now my biggest concern...

    Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

    Thanks to the extensive information in this forum, I finally got around to putting on Bilstein 5100's with some FJ coils to replace the stock XREAS that I had on. I have 290000 km on my V6 '03 and after reading the entire thread and the other one on Bilstein/FJ conversion, I was pretty...

    One cause & fix for "VSC TRAC" & "VSC OFF" lights, Zero Point Calibration

    Love this forum. While attempting to figure out my other issue of rear window, wiper, washer and defrost all not working, I used my OBD to see if there was a code to possibly fix. After that, my VSC lights came on. Found this thread and used the Zero point calibration TSB and with a couple...
