Hello everyone, looking to see if anyone can help diagnose the problem. Starting to hear a strange noise when accelerating { flooring it } while cruising on the highway or around town. Basically I floor it while already driving, for example to pass another vehicle on the highway, the...

Well since i had some time today, decided to shovel some snow and try to figure out how to fix that rattle. Didnt have time to bring it to the dealer this week so it was driving me crazy. It seemed that there was something in between the dash and the windshield, at first I thought it was those...

thanks for all of my brothers sympathy. Been drinking all day so i apologize for any misspelled words. My Baby has been thee thru my divorce, selling my Harley, hang overs and then some. I am a Chicago Cop, and for the last 16 years I have been hardened, but loosing my girl was the hardest...

Hey all, had to put my rotti down due to bone cancer. She loved the 4runner back window, just having a rough day.

I just traded my 07 sr5 v6 4wd for a lightly used 08 sport v8 4wd. Mine has 15k on the clock and was able to pick it up from the dealer with the extended toyota platinum warranty to 100k for $28,500. For me I thought it was a fair price considering that they dont put those 4.7 in the 5th...

DOOZI, thats what one of the techs at Toyota said, he mentioned some black caulk, but that it wouldnt look to good if mistakes were made since its such a difficult angle to get at unless you remove the dash or at least parts of the dash. I can literally tap on the dash with my fingers and you...

Looks great, just a question or two... how many miles before the x-reas started to leak? And having driven both set ups, how does your current one compared in ride quality, cornering, etc?

On my 07 v6 that i bought new, i waited until the first 3k passed, and switched over to full synthetic, changing it every 5k miles...no problems at all up to 70k, I'm confident that it wouldnt be an issue. I just sold that one with 70k and picked up a 08 sport v8 with 15k, and plan on using...

Hello everyone, before I get started I just wanted to say thanks in advance for your responses. Also, I did try the search function for my question, however I couldn't find what I was looking for. My question is , I picked up a new to me 08 sport, and have noticed that there is a rattling coming...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share my story with all of you. To begin with, I had read the forum and decided on buying my first suv back in 2007. It was an 07 SR5 v6 4WD IN TITANIUM SILVER. I loved my baby. I drove her to Florida from Chicago a number of times. In the the course of a few...
