    Grease discovered on brake pads

    I have to admit that I finished that side at about 11 pm after installing a garage door opener that day as well so I may have missed it. I'll take another look when I am off work this week. Thanks, W.

    Grease discovered on brake pads

    Guys & gals, I was doing a front brake job on my '08 4Runner (80,000 miles) last week when, upon investigation, I saw that there was a significant amount of grease on my brake pads on the driver's side. So much so that the groove in the factory pads was filled in. I looked at the CV boot and...

    4Runner Ergonomics

    Hey guys, The funny thing is I am just a little dude. I'm only 5'-8" with a 30" inseam and my head touches my sun visor if I try to lean forward to look around a corner or something. I will definitely play around with it a bit more but I fear she may get traded on something else in the near...

    4Runner Ergonomics

    Guys, I can't seem to get comfy in my '08 SR5 with convenience package (sunroof, tilt wheel, etc. No matter how I change the seat-back pitch & headrest height I always get back or neck pain when I drive long distance. For instance I just drove to Vegas on Sunday (340 mi) and as I got close to...

    Medicore gas mileage

    Mileage Guys, I just did a 250mi virtually all freeway trip and driving pretty carefully at 70-75 mph and running premium I got 24.5 mpg (according to my display). I'll verify when I fill up again if it was accurate. BTW, it's a V6 4x4 with the 17" Michelins and I've got 9,000 mi on it...

    Sunroof Motor Running On It's Own

    Guys, a couple of nights ago I was driving on the freeway with my sunroof open and when I went around a bend at speed I thought I heard the sunroof motor going for just a second. (Like the sunroof was closing) I looked up and it wasn't moving so I thought I was losing it. :) I picked up...

    0% for 60 months?

    I just bought mine a month ago as well and got 0.9% financing for 60 mos and $4,800 off MSRP. That's the advantage of poor economic times I guess. Lots of good deals if you can spend some $.

    Weathertech Group buy?

    Any word on the group buy? I was hoping to get some of these soon. I've put down some el-cheapo rubber floor mats for the time being but I go to a lot of construction sites for work and I really want some better coverage and the weathertechs are pretty spendy at the web sites I've found.

    Question on negotiating a V6 4x4 Sport

    I bought mine at Toyota El Cajon - ask for Lou in internet sales. He was a pretty good guy to deal with. I also had Toyota San Diego down to $3,900 below MSRP with the cheap financing.

    Question on negotiating a V6 4x4 Sport

    I just bought my '08 4Runner SR5 4 x 4 V6 last weekend for $4,800 off MSRP and %0.9 financing. Mind you I had to walk out of two dealers before one chased me out onto the parking lot yelling "Ok, give me your credit info and you got a deal." Keep in mind, everything is negotiable. I even...
