    New 4R 4x4... V6 or V8

    I love my V6, it has plenty of power for me. So I'd recommend it. When I first got it in '04 I thought I I might have made a mistake, because there was a question regarding the quality of the engine and sludge problems. The V6 was not "proven" like the V8. Reliability- The jury is still out...

    How long will you keep your 4runner

    My previous car was a 4.0L Grand Cherokee. What a difference between 4.0 engines. My 4R v6 can really move! Plus I don't miss the manifold and water pump issues. ----------- My 04 has 115 K and still going strong. I probably won't get rid of it till it starts feeling unreliable, have only have...

    VSC, TRAC, and Check engine lights on

    Dude you rock! I had the same problem, both VSC lights and the Maint light were on. Sure enough the cap was loose. A big thanks! Richard

    The story I got (from the guy that replaced the windshield) Fuel efficiency. The glass is thinner on newer cars Less glass, cuts down weigth That is also why they are using more plastic for the bodies Mine went around 50 k

    Things I hate about my 4runner

    Re: radio stays on ______________________________ Another solution like somebody already mentioned, is to put the switch in accessory mode. Here is the what I do, I went to the hardware store and got a key for the ignition. It will turn the car accessories on but can't start the engine. I...

    How many of us are posers?

    I took it off-road within six months of buying it new. Couldn't wait till the season. My buddies are hard on their trucks so it was my turn with this one. I'll try to get a picture up soon, the brush guard and rear bumper guard are a nice addition. Of all the brush guards Waag have the best...

    How many of us are posers?

    I take mine hunting 1-2 times a year, and enjoy exploring old logging roads. Sometimes driving 8 hours a day in the forest. Mine is stock except for a brush guard and a macthing rear bumper by Waag, this is second set of tires (Michellen). I do not want to lift it since it is my main...

    Things I hate about my 4runner

    My vote is for the climate control in my '04. It has a mind of it's own. Sometimes it spews out hot or cold regardless of the temperature. The recirculate function almost always goes on. What I'd like is to be able to control the temperature myself. The other issue is seats are not as...
