It sold this morning for $900 - I posted it on Craig's list at 11:00 p.m. and by 11:20 I had 3 that were interested...one of the fellas was here early today with ca$h in hand...he'll be fixing it up slowly and will be for his wife. I'm sad to see her go...but glad she will have new life one day!!

Up for your consideration is my baby...I called her "Sassy" because she wasn't afraid to go up against the "big boys" off the line, and leave them in the dust! So now she's hurtin. Someone decided to run a yellow light and hit her in the passenger front quarter/wheel/bumper. I only carried...

Well, Singtoe, you win the prize. After almost 2 years of horse-hockey, we finally got someone to spend some time with our Runner. Diagnosis: Transfer case actuator is fried. The front one will engage 4WD, and then gets stuck. Which is where we are at once again. Two years ago it...

Thanks Thank you for the reply!! I thought I was all alone out here - so many folks looked at the thread but nobody replied. Now I can give my hubby a starting point! I'll be sure to come back on after he checks things out and give an update. Crossing my fingers for a loose hose!!

Hope to get some ideas with where to start on this. I have a 2002 4Runner SR5 with 180K on it. Had all 3 belts replaced a week ago because they were worn and squealing. Squealing stopped - Yay! Now fast-forward a week. I hop in on a snowy/slippery morning, hit the 4WD button on the shifter...
