Thanks TR42014 I will check them out ( Lowe) . I want to get it ordered before too much weather hits it. I have three 4runners and have had them occasionally start to pull off when it really freezes up, but I have always been able to keep them from pulling totally off until now. Thanks a lot Ray

Hi all In one of our wonderful ice storms in Ohio my son could not get the door open on our 1999 4runner. He pulled on the passenger door on the drivers side and the ice had froze on the weather seal between the door and the body. Well, that pulled completely off and tore into two pieces. I...

Thanks for the link, I just ordered what I hope are the right parts. I know what you mean about breaking thing. When it comes to trying to tug the right way removing clipped on interior or body moldings something always flies apart. Thanks Ray

I have searched on a bunch of Toyota Parts sites for the clips that mount the rear wheel flare to the body on a 1997 4runnner limited. I see a few different parts labeled clips but the very poor exploded views do not show them clear enough for me to verify if that's the part I need. My 4runner...

LOL, of course, That's the way it always goes. Glad you have it working!! Thanks Ray

Also for an FYI, I found that ROCKAUTO had the switch for $27.00 versus around $50 from other on line dealers. The part number was 600554 (600-554) and Labled Transfer Case Switch.

I just finished troubleshooting mine today, I found the 4WD Transfer Indicator Switch on the Transfer case was not closing when the transfer case switched into 4WD mode. This is the switch where the harness unplugs from the switch and is located next to the Transfer Case actuator motor assembly...

TheDurk, Thanks for you help. I will take a look at the switches today and see what I can find. I will do a physical look first for something obvious the see if I can figure out how to test with a meter or something. I know from looking a diagram I found somewhere that there a few different...

"There is only 12 volts on the hot side of the brown solenoid and does not switch to the blue side or go away when engaging the 4WD selector" Thanks for all the replies, I just re-read my post and realized I screwed up on the most critical word, I meant to say the the VSV's are NOT switching...

Hi All I have a 97 4Runner that will not go into 4WD. I have went through quite a bit of threads trying to troubleshoot this. This is a Limited with the push button 4WD on the lever. It does not matter if you try 4WD Hi or Lo .This is what I have found so far. When you put it in 4WD the...

I wasn't too clear on the list I was refering too. I meant the recall list on the Lower ball joint failures, which years were recalled for the failures. All of mine have 170,000 plus so I am going to put Ball joints on my fix list after all the radiator replacments.

I have looked over some of the articles on the Ball joint failures and at first check it does not look like my years 1997,99 and 2000 are in the list. From the lists I checked it was 2001 and 2002. But I guess it does not hurt to replace them anyway. Like I said, Now I am paranoid and want to...

Kball I have went back and read over the buyers guide . Saw the article on the ball joints as well as other items that I need to check, Now I am paranoid, I will be replacing those next. I might have looked this article over a while back but I guess since most of the articles on the bad things...
