Hey guys, I'm having a similar issue, rotational noise from center console. Youtube video here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/133044-whats-annoying-sound.html It's getting louder and I'm starting to worry that if I ignore it it will break something.

Just thought of something, also for a while when in Park I hear rattling from underneath, kind of like the catalitic converter shield or the unit is going bad. I'm wondering now if that could be my issue. I haven't gotten underneath the truck yet but I plan to tap a few things see what...

Today on the way to work I put it in 2nd gear and kept it there till about 40-45 same noise so I don't think its the transmission. Also when I throw it in Neutral at 35 and up the noise continues until I slow down to about 20mph.

My 2000 4wd Limited with 175k is making a ticking sound at around 30mph and gets louder as speed increases. It sounds like it's coming from the tranny area, my transmission/4wd is working fine. Here is a video of what it sounds like. Noise from gear box - YouTube

Hey everyone, My 2000 4wd Limited with 175k is making a ticking sound at around 30mph and gets little louder as speed increases. It sounds like it's coming from the gearbox, my transmission/4wd is working fine and the truck doesn't have any other mechanical issues. Here is a video of what it...

Definitely worth looking into if that's what took care of your problem. Do you know if this is a standard procedure that toyota dealer can do or did your friend do you a favor? I'm kind of tired of dealing with this problem, it's been too long.

Hello, Truck starts fine in the morning, after I turn it off for 10 min and try starting again, I have to give it gas otherwise it stalls. I am getting an oil change next sat and wanted to bring it to mechanic's attention. From reading the forums it looks like one of two things, either a...

We're going to have a baby in a few months. Currently I have a black 2000 4runner limited with original suspention, rides kind of rough, no other issues, change oil regularly, transfer case, ront and rar diffs, need to get the spark plugs done too. its got 155k miles, already changed timing...

tokico might be the stock replacement for sr5 but for 4runner its bilsteins. I'm riding on stock bilsteins right now.

I'm glad you like it, I have new cooper A/T tires sitting in the garage, much more aggressive. I'll post them soon. Im pretty sure the'll scrape off the edges when installing so I'll need to touch up, should have waited :( Another pic, old tires still

I painted my wheels few months ago, scraped off, primer, flat black anti rust paint, clear. So far so good, nothing coming off after winter riding in slush and salt. Total spent=25 bucks and half of Saturday.

Hello guys, My power antena wire detatched from the actual antena when it froze and wouldn't go up. Right now its stuck and I would like to disconnect the motor or fuse so that it doesn't make the unnecessary noise whenever I start or shut off the radio. I'm looking at a replacement antenas...

No offense taken at all. Personally I do like the look of big rims on a denali or escalade but not 4runners. If yours is a 4x2 then that would explain why you're not going with the off road wheels. As long as you like it man, whatever floats your boat.

why would you want to put sissy rims on a 4x4 vehicle. I don't understand why people do that to their 4runners. I'm sorry but for me its a terrible waist.

I'll take few pics today and post it on here, give me couple of hours, I went with the stock 70, although everyone's saying that It wouldn't slow it down much, I didn't want to risk it. It aint exactly that fast as it is so 70 will do fine.
