NCHornet, I appreciate your advise; there is some great information there that applies to the rear calipers on the 4runner. I have been a victim of sticking or "seized" calipers with glide pins & have been able to clean & lube them with good results. Thanks for the brand recommendation as in...

Just want to update this with an image showing exactly where the piece goes in case someone else runs into this issue. It's the small angled rubber piece right at the und of the pen. The rest is already seated in the track. The imprinted "L" is facing to the left (front of vehicle); mating...

On the right track? Pun intended? Thank you Weaves for the help, you are correct. Don't remember taking them out, must have fallen out & I was lucky enough to even find them. So they go on the inside edge of the track, between the track and the front tray that has the front drains & that the...

Looking for some help with the sunroof re-install. I had an issue where it got stuck open (right side would start to close, left side was stuck). I took the assembly out, freed it (think I found it had gone past the bent tab "stop" at the rear of the track), cleaned the track & am ready to put...

I run mine very low & have put in up to 24 1/2 gallons several times. The last two gallons are always very tough to get in; must fill very slowly.

Okay, thanks again all. Had helper check again & left front 1/2 shaft was spinning with truck stationary (outer CV joint failed), so hopefully that's all I need! Gonna just research quality CV joints now.

Guys, thanks for the info. so far. Will check the CV joints. RonJR, I did goose it in reverse with the wheels turned. If I destroyed the front diff, wouldn't I still get some torque to the rear to move?

Not good, something broke but not sure what yet... Drove to work today and in the process of parking, I engaged reverse and tried to accelerate. There was a loud bang or pop & then the grinding. It would not move. I was able to roll back into a space and engaged park. It would not hold in...

Just a thought as you raised front wheels (full droop) and turned fully lock to lock: check the ABS speed sensor wires. If over stretched, one may have failed? That will trip those lights.

Also interested. 2005 sport.

I don't think you want to mount it ON the rear hatch. Would prob. make it very difficult or near impossible (practically speaking) to open. How about something like this? http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/220872-gater-supply-co-spare-tire-carrier.html

"Some type of synthetic fluid." What fluid exactly?

Headliner is a project; plan for a day or two. Remove all the interior side panels starting at the bottom & work your way up. Will include the rear seat. May be time to consider soundproofing roof panels while it's down if that's something you would ever consider.

Try to pull the code(s) again & reset them.

So I continued to have trouble with no apparent luck with the order, but it seems 2 orders went through. They were good enough to email inquiring whether I wanted 2 orders or not. So a good outcome after all. Thanks for putting this together and the frequent updates!
