Could you guys link me to a website where I could get some good/cheap spark plugs/wires for my 04' v6? (215k miles for those wondering!) Thanks!!

Hey guys- going to be replacing my front rotors on my 2004 sport edition soon, and wanted to know which rotors/pads you recommend? Trying to save some money by purchasing them online, and I heard the Sport has different dimensions than the SR5, so I was hoping someone could direct me to a link...

Sorry if this has been talked about, but the search function for "amp" turns up nothing (obviously a glitch!) I am trying to install an amp underneath the driver or passengers seat, to power the front 2 speakers (2 sets of components... so 4 speakers). Can anyone point me to some previous...

It looks like there are side airbags equipped (in the last photo). Thank god that person had those. My next vehicle will have them for sure...

Hey guys, the legal limit is 70% in the front (which is like nothing), and the rear windows don't have legal limits (can be as dark as possible). I don't mind doing 70% in the fronts (especially since I don't want to get pulled over) but what do I get on the rear windows? What would look the...

Considering putting some Blizzaks or maybe X-Ices on for the winter- and I understand it's a good idea to put them on a designated set of wheels, while storing the all season tires on their own set of wheels for the winter. My question is, to save money, can I just store the all-season tires...

I can't figure this out... I just paid off my loan entirely, about 4 years early. 5 year loan, with maturity date: 11/15/2016 Amount financed: $9,284.40 APR: 5.70% Monthly Payment Amount $179.01 Last payment (payoff) amount: $7,940.91 How much money did I save by paying it off 4 years early...

Thanks for the replies! I've been searching through old posts (probably should've done that first) and found a compilation of things that people have recommended: change all the fluids: coolant, front, rear and transfer case differential fluid, tranny, power steering, check the calipers for...

Bought the 2004 used at 85,000 and haven't done anything to it as for as preventative maintenance. At the very least, I'm going to get oil change, brake fluid flush, transmission flushed, spark plugs, tires balanced and rotated, possibly brakes. 1. What else should I get done to it? I would...

what I like about the 2008 is from a safety standpoint... it has side airbags which deploy not only if hit but if god forbid it were to flip over.

Thank you so much for your post it answered all of my questions!!

The dealership I purchased it from had no owners manual to give- thanks for wasting your time

Got the vehicle 5k miles ago, it now has 92k miles on it.... 2004 4runner. Don't know what was flushed or if at all prior to me having it.... so someone recommended I get everything flushed... just wondering how extensive I should go here.... tranny, fuel injectors, brake fluid? How much would...

I purchased my used 4runner with no owners manual (DOH)... 2 questions. 1. To switch to 4wd hi, am I supposed to be park/neutral? Or moving? 2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but 4wd hi seems to be the same as AWD. Does this mean that it can be left on ALL the time? And- if I did not come across any...

I've got to replace all 4 tires before this crazy upstate NY winter gets rolling... I had blizzaks on my last car, just wondering what you guys recommend!
