2006 Limited has a broken fuel door. I bought a door and painted it to match. I drilled the old rivets out and bought new ones from the dealer. Problems is they are larger than most of the tools I can find. Anybody have an idea or a source for a tool that will put those big stainless rivets in?

Part number I haven't taken this servo motor out but I was looking on Ebay and there aren't many available. The one they had said it would fit the 8 cylinder but not the 6. I have the heater control where you set the desired temperature but it doesn't have separate controls for the passenger...

2004 6 cylinder 4WD. HVAC fan motor was making some racket. I have one on order. About a month ago I began hearing a noise that sounded like a fan motor. It sounded like it was coming fom behind the dash even when the AC/ Heat was turned off. It would run for about 10 seconds and then stop. I...

I have all these slots for switches that don't exist. I would like to pull the blank that they cover the hole with and replace it with a USB plug to charge my phone and stuff. I have several of them on the console and a couple on the dash. Surely somebody makes one that I can just pop in and...

My blower motor is making the slightest noise. Is there any chance to lubricate it or change the bearings before it gets worse? I hate to replace a toyota motor with some Chineese imitation if I don't have to. I also don't want to pay dealership prices for a fan motor. I guess I want to have my...

Thanks Chaz. It's one of those things I don't really think about until I need it. I hauled some big rolls of carpet on the roof of the car and scratched it all up. Any idea about the knock sensor?

When I got my 4runner the crossbars on the luggage rack were missing. I finally started looking around and found out that doesn't just seem to be a cheap junkyard item. I would have thought these things would be 25 bucks with free shipping. While I ma here: I have a OBD reader and it keeps...

It was a pleasure to meet you. It's nice to see a young fella workin his butt off to make it in a small business. The racks are beautiful. You have quite a talent there. I'm sure you will do well. If anybody is thinking about getting a roof rack this is the one to get. It is a handmade work of...

I had a light from the TPMS. It would come on when it was cold and go out after I drove it for a while and the tires warmed up. Last weekened I increased the tire pressure on the tires from about 30 lbs to about 32 or 33. Now the light is solid and never goes out. I expected the light to go out...

I live in Fort Walton. I have no problem with you taking measurements from my vehicle. I come to Pensacola from time to time and may be able to work something out to leave it if I can figure out how to get my boat in the water without it. I'm tied up her in FWB forthe next couple of weekends at...

Thanks. You probably saved me some embarrassment with the guy that does my mechanic work. I took it off road today and had a blast around a local lake. I actually went between a couple of trees that probably cleared an inch on each side. This is gonna be a blast. I have the plain old stereo that...

I don't think I have ever seen it suggested that a timing chain be changed as part of routine maintenance. Is it the same for Toyota?

I just got a 2004 4WD 6 cylinder yesterday. It's beautiful and I am so excited. I have searched around and haven't found the answer. Does it have a timing chain or a belt? I read in one place that it was a chain but I thought I better check it here to make sure. I'd hate to lose the engine on...

Sorry Bud didn't mean to clog the forum with questions. I'll look somewhere else.

I realize this may be a matter of opinion but I still have to ask. I am looking hard for a 4runner. I need 4WD to haul some boats around. I have sold myself on 4runner because they have a reputation for reliability and lasting 300K miles often without a lot of problems. I don't have a lot of...
