I used Mobil 1 synthetic grease that I picked up from advance auto and I ordered the needle attachment from amazon for a couple dollars. I'm sure you could pick one up locally but I never looked for it I just ordered it.

Thanks to all for the input on this. At this point I am not going to have to worry about the remote start. The local Toyota dealer here does not care if they actually sell cars or not. So my search for a new T4R continues. I just have to find a dealer that actually wants to sell me one. Thanks...

I currently own a 4th gen. it has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. It is a 2003 Sport Edition v6. It has been very very reliable and just all around great. It is my wife's daily driver and has been there with us as our family has gone from just us to 2 to us 4 and has never felt small...

So I took the advice on here and ordered the McMasterCarr clamps and a needle attachment for my grease gun. I only did the small side of the boot for now as the larger ones do not have any problems at this time. So I cleaned up the boot and axle. I then undid the original clamp and cut it off, I...

Thanks for the responses, now I'm not sure what to do. I would like to have it but having my new car taken apart to have this put in is something I'm not sure I want to do. I don't know this is something to think about, the dealer quoted me $600 to install it I'm not sure it is worth it. That...

i am thinking about picking up a 2013 sr5 for my wife and one thing she would like to have this time is a remote starter. I have been to the dealer and we are getting close to making a deal but they quoted me $600 to put the starter on and that seems crazy. I looked up the kit on trdparts4u.com...

Thanks for all the replies, I have tried to get the hose clamps locally but no body has the ones i need so I guess I will be ordering from McMasterCarr. One last question though, should I take the boots loose completely and clean the joint and thin re-grease or should I just shoot new grease...

Thank you guys for the responses, that is what i'm going to do, I just need to find some clamps to use. Any idea where to get them without having to order them?

Ok that makes sense to me. Is there a way for me to fix this or am I looking at getting the boots replaced or the shafts replaced? Can I put grease back in and then re-clamp them?

I was changing the oil in my 03 t4r sport this Saturday. I noticed that the inner boot on the passenger side has thrown some grease out. I cleaned things up the best I could and could not find a tear or anything. The Driver side looks as if it has lost some as well but it must have been a while...

I went ahead and ordered them today, should have them next week some time. Sams Club is running a little special on BFG's right now until August 9th. You basically just get installation which is $15 a tire for free. $60 dollars off of something they should not be charging for anyway. Oh...

Yeah it is the Rugged Terrain's I am looking at. I had the Rugged Trails on my Tacoma when I bought it and they were terrible I would not buy another set of those for anything! Thanks all for you input.

The time has come for new tires for the wife's :girl: 03 T4R Sport. I have been going over this for a while now and though I would like another set of Revo's they are a little expensive. So I have been looking at the BFG Rugged Terrain's. Was wondering if anybody has any real world input on...

I believe the switch was $120 and no I did not have to take the steering wheel off just the two plastic halfs around the steering column. There are also a couple little screws that hold the switch in also. Sorry it took so long to get back to you hope you get it figured out.

Update, I finally got time to put the new wiper switch on and that took care of the problem. All wiper functions work as they should. So for me the switch was the problem not the transmission. Hope this helps. As far as a part number, I cannot find it on there but here is the link to the...
