Future Project: Subscribing to thread to save

Granted I have not spent much time trolling Toyota grave yards but I have yet to find any replacement for the for/aft trim caps for the roof rack rails. I have noticed to my delight that diagonals are identical thus I have moved the rear starboard unit to the front port side (above driver's...

Folks, I am in the SE Michigan (northeastern Oakland County) area and although not a hard core dune or rock crawler I tend to simply drive through whatever to get to wherever which is what I like about the truck: the adage of "arrive on time to your cancelled flight" theme. Not sure what goes...

This did not get done. FYI.

UPDATE: Although I will continue to monitor I went out this morning and started the truck and it idled sweetly at 750RPM which is probably correct (my statement of 600RPM sounds a little low in the light of day and with a good night's sleep). Thank you everyone for the assistance!

Clarification: The "idle" was not considered a symptom but that I was questioning whether having the battery disconnected that long could affect the idle setting? Likewise the battery has been disconnected in the past but I do not remember the idle being affected. This is new since this...

Commenting to remember where this thread is...haven't fully figured out how to efficiently navigate this forum yet: Situation: 100k+ miles ago my VSC/Trac and ECL came on but the truck did not seem to react differently so I elected to wait and see (I did do some research at the time) - MPG have...

Thanks, I will give it a few days to see if it will "learn".

Resolution: After replacement, and silencing the alarm, the truck started right up and the snapping relay is quiet. Correction: The Walmart Maxx 24FN was a January 2010 thus not as old as suspected and a little younger than the original but then the last 3 winters here have been brutal, thus...

Impressive! It looks like a dream! Well done.

Similar issue - not seeing a resolution regarding "alarm" 2002 4R 260k: Car has sat a few days and when we went out to use it it acted like the battery was dead. Did not notice any clicking until I tried to start it but when I turned the key I got nothing. It was then that I noticed the...

Racks: Thule (Too - lee ) I use the removable Thule racks. Thus when I do not need the racks they can be removed and all that remains is the base units. NOTE: IMPORTANT: if you go this route: When you go to install the base units you have to remove the screws that hold down the fronts of the...

Haynes Repair Manual Explains I will post the results of my experience when I get around to the repair. Essentially, access through the wheel well, replace motor when mast is raised, reverse.

Found this at Auto-Zone while there for the 2825 bulb: Toyota Tacoma, 4-Runner &T100: Tacoma (1995 thru 2004), 4-Runner (1996 thru 2002), T100 (1993 thru 1998) All 2WD and 4WD models. Approximately $25.00.

Accomplished Evidentially that 12v bulb is very popular. Third store had it - #2825. Yes, a little wiggling is all it took. Thanks to all!
