Checking in! Been busy...Got my last kid out of the house and into college and bought 6 acres of land overlooking Flathead Lake at Lakeside Montana. Retiring in 8 weeks and building on the new property in 2019. 165,000 miles on the 2010 4Runner with nothing more than regular oil changes. Had...

I am a no go for Sat Oct 4. My sister from Minnesota will be coming in that day. :(

Geez, that read like a cheap porn novel. :)

Ditto. I'm about 45 min from Seattle. We used to meet with our FJ Cruiser clan at Tahuya but that's a bit far and Tahuya wouldn't be a "Stock 4Runner " -friendly trail these days I don't think...

Maybe it's because mine is a limited. Toyoto of Puyallup service guy went out and checked mine when in for 90k service and said that I did not have to have it flushed, sealed tranny.:noidea:

It's a sealed transmission. At least mine is. no dip stick either. Are you going to drill, flush then plug? My wife's 2005 mustang transmission was like that. Ford sold a unit that allowed re-plugging after flush and fill but it's a PITA to do.

Okay, so I had my list of what I wanted the Toyota Service center to do. Found out a few things! No transmission flush (lifetime tranny fluid) No fuel filter replacement (lifetime fuel filter) I am getting the differential and transfer case oil flushed and changed while I'm here for my $59...

^^^ LOL! Good imagination! I'm going to go ahead with the 90k major in about 2 weeks. I've already done the spark plugs, I do my own air and cabin filter changes. I replaced the pads and turned the rotors last week. Rotors were legal and in good shape. Still had about 20% left on rear pads, 30%...

Well, price is going to vary from state to state, we have a very high sales tax in WA state, but the bottom line was $1150 which included balance, old tire disposal fees and taxes.

That's the price we pay for living in the foothills and commuting to work.

I went with the stock tires that 4Runners came with in 2010. Yokohama Geolandar G96B Highway All-Season. The original lasted soooo long and had a nice quiet ride for commuting. Considering we don't get a lot of snow in the winter, I didn't need an agressive tire. The Geolandar did well in the...

Thanks for your reply Vic!
