    Buying a sequoia

    Not sure about the kit but there probably is one. When I had my 4runner with rear air, the system was great until it broke, then I said to hell with it (I had a bag blowout and Toyota's price on a new one was outrageous). Some company sold kits to convert to rear coil spring but they were...

    Genuine OEM Parts in CANADA

    Discount OEM Toyota Parts and Accessories - ToyotaPartsDirect.com Here's a dealer out west somewhere that has a nice parts website set up with the diagrams and everything. Personally I have never bought parts from them but the reviews are good and shipping seems reasonable. EDIT: I lied...

    Does it matter if I get a 4x4 for not??

    4x4 launches FTW!! No but in reality if you're not going to use it and just want the "feature" then don't bother. It's hundreds of pounds of extra hardware that will affect your MPGs and if you never use it, when you try to, the actuators are going to be seized and it's not going to work. Then...

    Save your life-DON'T buy a Jeep

    HA! I nearly spit my coffee everywhere hahahaha. I'll admit I haven't driven one but I just don't see a good reason to put that style shifter in a truck. If you want more cubby holes put a column shift in. EDIT: I guess it just like anyother change tho, we resist at first but once it becomes...

    Save your life-DON'T buy a Jeep

    Couldn't agree more with this. I realize some higher end cars use rotary shifter so I guess they're trying to give people a sense of luxury. But I can't fathom why they decided to go that route in a pickup truck. Talk about a PIA if you get stuck or you're trying to maneuver a trailer into a...

    What I've learned about Duratrac tires on our trucks...

    I'm running P rated 265/70R17 Duratracs on my Tacoma. Their load rating at 2679lbs each is more than double my truck weight and hauling capacity. I don't offroad near sharp rocks or where airing down is needed so these fit the bill. They were a lot cheaper than the LTs and weight less so my...

    2007 4runner vs 2006 land cruiser

    The Land Cruiser is bigger, I believe it's Sequoia sized.. Look at the Lexus versions. The GX which is built on the 4runner chassis is the mid size SUV. The LX is built on the Land Cruiser chassis and is there large sized SUV. Land cruiser is for sure bigger, as for actual volume numbers. I...

    4Runner vs Tacoma

    I sold my 03 4runner and bought a 11 Taco. I really liked the 4runner and if I were to get married that's what my wife would drive because it's just much much much more civilized and refined. But I prefer my Taco. I needed a truck, my 4runner trunk was getting all beat up because I was using...

    Canadian Buy and Sell section in Classifieds forum

    I don't know if it would be a PIA for you mods or if it would gain any steam either. But I know there is some Canadians on this forum and it would be nice to have a specific place to post FS/FT/WTB/free things in Canada The region specific forums don't get much attention so it would be nice to...

    (Solution) Mini VCI + Toyota TIS Techstream 8.x on Windows 7/8 64-bit.

    Good luck. There aren't really any customizable options for the 2nd gen Taco but it still displays a ton of engine parameters, SRS fault codes and will allow me to program my tpms sensors when switching between summer and winter tires.

    (Solution) Mini VCI + Toyota TIS Techstream 8.x on Windows 7/8 64-bit.

    I just successfully got this working on my Tacoma with a Windows 10 laptop. I'm not amazing with computers and the first attempt left me with the "unable to connect to VIM" error I ended up downloading 64bit drivers from the first post in this thread: Offical TechStream software thread(...

    Going from my 4Runner daily to a small hatchback, what to know?

    This one! When I first got my FR-S, I drove it into one of those 4 inch yellow concrete parking spot dividers because I was so use to driving the 4runner into parking spaces until I felt the front wheels hit the divider, this time it was my brand new red bumper with a whopper 1000 miles on it...
