I'm gonna have to back out. Sorry Sleeter! Some stuff popped up on that weekend that I can't miss. =/ Will definitely be interested to see shots and hear stories! Have fun!

Put me down as 98% Tentative. I need to get my HAM radio install and I should be good to go!

The vibration turned out to be a locked Front Driver caliper. I noticed this when trying to push my truck into the garage - it wouldn't budge. Lesson learned: DONT BUY CRAPPY PARTS FOR YOUR ORV/ADVENTURE RIG!!!!!!! I performed the Tundra brake upgrade last October and tried to save some $$$ by...

No. Lift installation caused zero issues.

Thank you, brother! They have not been replaced since I purchased the truck! Will post progress once installed.

******SOLVED****** see last post 2001 SR5 4WD Truck drives normal on pavement for about 15 minutes and then a fairly harsh front end vibration begins and remains. It is present at 15mph and grows worse as speed increases. BUT it almost disappears on my gravel road to my house (35-45mph)...

I need a Driver side tail light for my 2001 4Runner. I am willing to buy just the DS or both. PM or post quote so I get a notification. Live in Northern Virginia and am willing to drive 50 miles to pick up.

Tail Lights Hey, I didn't have time to read 12 pages of posts. I need tail lights if you still have them. Thanks

Sorry TheDurk - I didn't know that you had been wrenching for 50 years. I will be tearing back into the starter to check things out tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

No crank / no start 11.8 on the battery right now. It was a solid 12 when I started trouble shooting a few days ago. Jump starting it was the first thing I tried. Same results: no crank, no start, with interior dash and radio lights dimming. Thanks for the suggestion. I may end up having to...

SOLVED - 2001 4Runner SR5 Last winter when I went to cold start the motor I would get nothing on the first key cycle. I would cycle the key 2-3 times and it would then crank the motor over. I thought it was the cold weather. It started happening again in the spring so I rebuilt the starter with...

I cant get out of work on Thursday so i will not be able to arrive at Asheville until Friday around noon. I'll keep an eye out for Mountain Climber and KevinPT and plan to camp with you guys. See you all there!

I'm going. I'm staying Thursday night in Roanoake, VA and I'll be heading out early the next morning. ETA to the OEE location is early Friday afternoon.

I was really surprised at the price also. Last year, it was $250 for the Overland Experience and . . . the rain ruined most of the "Overland Experience" for me. This year its almost $100 more. I don't see the justification for it. I will take a look at the courses available before I make my...

Hey Red October, thanks for posting all of your modifications. I'm in the planning stages of fabricating my own roof rack because . . . who wants to pay $1200 for a roof rack? Not me! Your roof rack is very inspiring!! I'm going to go low profile with some raised portions for fastening gear down...
