It fixed itself... or so it appears. Havent had a problem in over a year. Of course that means it will probably start up again...

Thanks guys! I love this forum almost as much as I love my 4runner I only wish the internet was around in 93 when I bloodied more than a few knuckles working on my truck with noting more than a few wrenches and a old paperback.

Sorry for being redundant here but: I have a 2003 LTD V6 2WD that I'd like to change over to the FJ springs and Coil Over's Will the FJ's Coil overs and rear springs/ shocks work in the 03' 2wd V6? It seems that they will bolt right on but may need a spacer - is this correct? I sure hope so...

Guys, I too have the serious squeak/chirping emanating from one of the bearings or?. Its really, really hard to isolate the exact source. My problem doesn't seem to be the belt but a bad bearing on one of the accessories. I've tried to narrow it down by spraying lube onto the specific items...

Thanks guys - I don't think its the actual speedo and the Tach and all other gauges work fine. I'll check out the Speed Sensor IIRC - that seems to be the most likely problem since its working on and off - usually an indication of an electronic issue. And the Odo is still turning and getting...

Still having this issue and cant seem to locate the speedometer anywhere in the 2 manuals I have. The Full Electrical version and the mechanical. Im more concerned that this is a bigger problem - like the main computer unit but would really love to know where the Speedometer sensor lives...

This morning I noticed that my speedometer wasnt working. It's stuck at 0. It was fine last night. And it started to work again after I had turned the car off for a few minutes but this worries me. Is this an indicator of anything else going on? Is this a relay or a sensor that could be...

Did you pull apart the center console? I need to do this but have yet to dig into what it takes to remove the center console. Any advice?

Due to a broken lock down washer I had to replace the shoes on my 03' LTD E-Brake. The right shoe broke free of its hold down and the tiny washer decided to find its way between the rotor drum and the shoe. It rubbed its way to oblivion and took a large amount of metal from the drum. - FUN :)...

$159?!! wow - that's cheap.

I had a new windshield installed yesterday by Safelite. The installer was pro. He did a great job in about an hour for $225. My first drive was like watching HDTV for the first time. I couldnt believe how clear the road was! Not a speck of dirt or grime makes such a difference. Too bad it...

Costco.com had the CoverKings on super sale a couple of weeks ago and I ordered them for my 03' 4r Limited. The total was $140 shipped so the price was right but the quality and overall fit was not so good. The color of the gray was off (it was more of a blue) and they just didnt fit right...

Thanks for the link CJ3Flyr - its really hard to tell which part it is from the break-out but the site is fantastic! I'm going to hunt through the garbage again and see if I can locate the silly thing.

I spent 30 minutes combing through the shop vac and couldn't find it anywhere. I did find a ton of other nameless junk though! Man, I hate paying the dealers for parts. I recently had to replace the Parking Brake Shoe Spring Hold Down. They charged me $20 for a spring, a couple of washers...

I was cleaning out my 03' 4runner yesterday when my shop vac sucked up the tiny plastic cover that is right next to the shifter. I sifted through a pile of crap in the shop vac but could not find the part. Anyone know where I can find a replacement? Its a tiny silver colored plastic piece...
