    The 3.4L TRD Supercharger Thread

    Anyone know of a good tuner in the Chicagoland region? I'm really struggling and just want someone who knows what their doing to look at it. Alternately, anyone have the driver, or link to the driver for the USB/serial cable?

    Anyone Towed over 5000 lbs with their Runner?

    Thanks guys, pretty much what I figured but wanted some first hand experience. I've got a buddy with a few car trailers, the Runner won't fit but the other car will, might have to bribe him with some beers. And fuel of course. Thanks!

    Midwest 3rd Gen BS Thread - WI, MI, IA, MN, IL, IN

    Whats up guys, just moved back to the midwest after spending 7 years in the seattle area. Truck has been a west coast truck and I think the drive back east was the first time the truck ever saw road salt. Been lucky enough to have an extra car at my dad's place that I can drive, kills me to...

    Anyone Towed over 5000 lbs with their Runner?

    I've got a car and some household items (read, I'm moving) that I need to get from Minneapolis to Chicago. The car has curb weight of 4400 lbs and I'm sure I have a few hundred pounds of crap that will be distributed between the two vehicles. I do have a brake controller but I'm debating between...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Installed my new PLX wideband AFR module after the Innovative gauge crapped out. Pretty neat unit and it was on a Black Friday sale to boot. Now hopefully I can start tuning out the horrible drive-ability issues I've been having with the URD kit. Sorry, didnt take any pictures. It was 25 degrees...

    Bought, not Built ;p 2000 'Runner

    This was by far the best campsite I had the entire trip. If you are ever in Redwoods National (and State) Park, take the time to go down to Gold Bluffs Beach. I think that was campsite 17. Right on the beach, its a fairly small campground so it stays quiet and you get to fall asleep and wake up...

    Bought, not Built ;p 2000 'Runner

    Saline Valley Road in Death Valley. Made me wish for Long Travel and adjustable shocks. They told me it was in the best condition its been in a long time. Never driven worse washboard. Only casualty was the rear swaybar, see the disconnect install pics above and you'll know why. Lasted about 50...

    Trying my hand at nightime photography, couldnt quite get the results I was looking for. They all ended up pretty fuzzy.

    Thanks! I'm already missing the West and I've only been in MN for two weeks or so. Its bittersweet to look at those pictures!

    Bought, not Built ;p 2000 'Runner

    Its been a busy few months. Decided to relocate from the PNW back to my roots in MN. Figured I'd try to see a bunch of cool stuff in the west before going home. Left Seattle on October 9th and rolled into my Dad's driveway on November 13. A quick list of where I was: Oregon Coast Nor Cal Coast...

    vibration associated with worn tierods?

    I've had two different driveshafts on the truck, two different sets of wheels and tires and I still get the vibes even when the rear shaft is out. Truck has 225k on it. Any way to check the bearings?

    vibration associated with worn tierods?

    Has anyone experienced a drivetrain vibration occurring due to worn tierods? I'm having a hell of a time tracking down a vibration that I'm getting intermittently at 55-70 mph. Seems to come and go depending on road surface, engine load, and road speed. Also seems to abate when I'm on a...

    URD 7th injector tuning maps

    new development, went to do a hill start and the truck could barely get out of its own way. Zero power, foot to the floor and nothing. Just creeped up the hill, got the truck parked and it would hardly rev. Let it idle for a bit and it seemed to rev better. This is all after a combo of city and...
