    Is it an easy DIY? Replacing master cylinder pressure sensor

    My ABS light came on, and after paying the dealer $90 they told me it was error code C1246, and that I need to replace the master cylinder pressure sensor, which seems to equate to the pressure metering valve. They want $440 for the valve, and another 2 hourse for the install. I can get the...

    Lost Rear window defrost, wiper....

    2003 4Runner LTD They both stopped working. I have looked at all the fuses, and none of them seem to be tied to these function, and nothing else has stopped working (rear window still goes down and up). I looked at fuse number 38, but it is good. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

    Looking to update Nav DVD disc

    The Navigation DVD arrived today, and it worked without a hitch. It still does not have my neighborhood on it, but it does have the street my wife was looking for last week so she is happy. I do not think it is an original, but it has offical looking graphics on the cover. Anyway, the price...

    Looking to update Nav DVD disc

    I just ordered the gen 2/3 updated Nav disk from some guy on Craigslist out of San Francisco. I know I am taking a chance, but for $55 I decided to gamble. I will let you know the result, and if it works I will provide his email if anyone else is interested. I have seen them as low as $155...

    Windshield on '07 4Runner cracked

    I have 2 cracks in my windshield, although luckily neither impairs vision so I am holding off replacing it until I get that 'mother of all cracks'. First one I got in the passenger side corner from a stone. The crack luckily just went from one side of the corner to the other, about 2 inches on...

    Sometimes I think about selling

    To be frank, it sounds like your wife needs to learn how to drive. If she is risking it all in order to pull out in front of a large oncoming truck in slick conditions, it is not the cars fault. If she does not tone down her driving, she will get herself in another life or death situation...

    Had a little accident...need a part number

    I was pulling the 4runner in to the agarage, and it slide off some accumulated ice/snow in front of the garage door and caught the edge of the garage. The good news is that I did no metal body damage. I did, however, knock off the passenger side plastic body panel over the rear wheel (the...

    Long Distance Towing Advice...

    Have you considered buying a 5 X 8 trailer and then selling it at your final destination? This might turn out to be the least expensive option, and it would afford you time to unpack at your final destination. Just a thought.

    Tow Hitch Replacement Nightmare

    I also had a hard time with those bolts...had to borrow a friends 1/2" breaker bar to get them moving. I was able to remove the bolts around the hitch without much problem using a standard socket wrench.

    unwanted passenger

    I had an incident with a past car, a VW Passat. I went on a two-week vacation, and sometime during that period a mouse took up residence in my engine compartment. He chewed up the hood insulation to build his nest. Luckily, he never got into the wiring or inside the vehicle. My advice would...

    Tow Hitch Replacement Nightmare

    Steve_MS, Toy4x4boy, I encourage you to use the string trick to get the most forward bolts w/plates in position. I struggled mightly to find the bolts inside the frame rails before I developed a more logical approach. Here it is again: - feed a string into the large insertion hole in the...

    Tow Hitch Replacement Nightmare

    Does anyone know why they discontinued the HH 70411? Seems that this would be the upgrade hitch of choice, since it matches the factory Toyota hitch specs. Well, I am glad I got mine when I did, and I would encourage anyone who plans to tow larger loads to buy one while a few are still...
