Similar Problem This has happened twice, now, so I don't want to ignore it: when I turn the key to the starter, everything goes out - it's like I disconnected the battery. I can jiggle the ground, and everything eventually comes back on. I know the battery is good. The connectors at the...

Good - Need Instructions Instructions would be nice. I've looked at the kit, and it is not intuitively obvious. I would hate to install them wrong, and take the chance of burning something up. If you have an instruction doc, why not PM it to those who ask?

How Does a Tube Bumper Attach? Doesn't the tube bumper attach to the same frame area as the OEM bumper? If that's the case, wouldn't the frame sustain MORE damage, since the bumper itself would be stronger, and not absorb any of the impact? I'm sure there's a reason why that's not the case...

I agree... ...leaving the old rubber on there is not really a good idea. I didn't think about using a small ratchet on the clamp: my mechanical abilities are, I'm afraid, sorely lacking. Thanks. I'll give that a try.

I read all the threads I could find on this topic, l looked at all the pictures, and thought I knew exactly what to do. Then, when I removed the coverings from under the engine, to put the new hose ends on the metal ones coming from the transmission, I found that the connections are directly...

Updates Well, I've had it awhile, and done a few things. Nothing too dramatic, just needed maintenance (timing belt, oil change, water pump, fluids); new tires (just can't go wrong with Michelins); took the roof rack off to clay-bar and wax (Zaino Bros.), then put it back on where it was...

Add Me to List 3rd Gen T4R, plus the license plate light. Thanks.

Looks Great - Question... How do the LED panels plug in? I see the wiring from the LED, but it doesn't look like the existing power source. Is there additional wiring that needs to be done? Also, maybe it's just my ignorance, but does 5SMD mean there are 5 individual LEDs, 48SMD mean 48 (6...

Keep Looking - They're Out There I looked for mine for almost 6 months, and finally found it on Craigslist in VA. You have to be diligent, as the good ones only stay there a few days. If you want to stick with CL, be sure to search in VA and SC, also. As for the other sites, I searched them...

I joined the forum a few weeks back, and bought my second Runner. My first was a 1992, which was totaled about 6 years ago when I was hit, head-on, by a drunk driver. The fact that it held up so well, and my daughter and I were not injured, made me a believer in the safety of the vehicle. I...

MY Fender Flares? If you're asking me, that's the Sports Edition SR5, which comes with color-matching flares and bumpers - it's what convinced me to buy this particular model.

Great Combination! Hey, just reading through your thread, as I just purchased a 2002 4Runner, and noticed the picture of your E39 M5. I also have a 2001 E39 M5, in Alpine White. Are you on the m5board? If so, what's your signon? I'm richbob on there, too. Here's my new, un-modded as yet...
