My old clunker so old and ugly. Would probably mount the radio under the seat and controller somewhere usuable up front in a nicer vehicle. But I like mine just fine where I put it along with the MIC hanger. I'm considering replacing the Kenwood with an IC7000 to have HF too. It will...

Many thanks for this thread and wealth of knowledge here. Thank you for suffereing my ignorance. I know very little but have lately taken to do more of what I'm capable of on my 2002 SR5. Besides the ultra basics like fluid changes, brakes etc....I'm doing more of my own work as I learn how...

In my amateur opinion, OBD scanner is a must. As cheap as can be found (paid $23 USD for mine FRM Amazon) all DYI'ers should have one. Ashamed to admit I should've bought one much sooner. Could've circumvented lots of time, $$, and guessing. After 5100MI since fixing the EVAP problem, another...

Good to see others hang on to their older vehicles. My 2002 SR5 will turn 20 this November. I don't remember my dad hanging on to any car for 20yrs.

EVAP sys Replaced EVAP cannister assy due to MIL's P0446 & P0440. Long story short, had to do this to pass state emissions test allowing me to renew my annual tags. Yeah.

Memory lane. Lots of good info in this thread, and brings back moments in my 2002 4Runners EVAP SYS/MIL history of hell. Not really....I digress ;) @ 278,000MI, I got a P0446 & P0440. Replaced the gas gap, reset/cleared ECU. Light came back on @ 100,000MI. Ran all tests I was able to out of...

Been reparing my 2002 4Runner and nursing it along since new. Got 307,456 MI to date. Since the life of the vehicle: 1) 3 timing belt/water pump changes 2) 5 sets of tires 3) fwd catalytic converter replacement 4) upper and lower front end ball joint replacement 5) full set of struts...

2002 SR5 237,017 as of this morning. Original shocks, will be changing them when down for timing belt next month.

Hello....I have 2002 2WD with 220,000 mi, I'm original owner. Shocks never replaced. Wanting to replace all. Should I replace front springs too? Considering OEM replacements but have no clue what they cost. Please give me some suggestions. Thank you!

Thank you

Sorry for the necro post, but was so happy to resolve my vibration problem today. My 2002 4Runner had always been vibration free until 146,000 MI & 2WKS after 4th set of tires. Wasn't tires, even though the clods at the Goodyear tire store tried to talk me into other things to steal more...
