Called another Toyota dealer and they said they had the plug + wiring in stock - OK, great. Drove 20 miles out to the dealer... And it was the wrong plug. They're going to make it right, however, by ordering the plug from Kansas and mailing it to me, all for free. Assuming this all happens...

Quick bump - any recommendations as to where to get this plug preferably with wires on the end? I think the plug part number is 90980-11140. I called my local Toyota dealer's parts department and they recommended Napa, I called Napa and they said they had nothing.... Thanks.

One of the harness wires has pulled out of the back of the plug that goes into the back of the turn signal receptacle. I fought unsuccessfully with dismantling the plug yesterday and i would like to get a new plug with pigtails and splice it into the harness w/ solder and heat shrink... Does...

So the truck's doing really well. Airbags are installed - dash light, off! I topped up the brake fluid reservoir with DOT-3 and, what do you know - other dash light, off! Also took it to the emissions testing facility today, they threw it on the dyno, and then they pulled it off very...

So I bought it. It's no beauty queen but it could be in far worse shape - Got a set of airbags last night that I'll be putting in as I tend to a few other things. Runs just fine, definitely a ticking sound when it's cold but it goes away when warm. I hear more belt noise than anything...

Definitely 4wd, I tested it and it worked, there's very little point in 2wd SUVs in Colorado. :P Also has the elocker etc. Looked around and found a 100k mile 5VZ-FE local for about $1k, I'm sure there's better deals out there too. I'll have a shop check the truck out and do a PPI and make sure...

He needs to get a new title issued in his name as he never titled it when he bought it from the previous owner. Agreed yes sketchy but if he can't get this figured out and a clear title issued I will walk away. I'm not super concerned about engine knock - worst case it's fresh engine time and a...

Not a salvage title, it's clear.

I don't tow anything with the Porsche, it was a factory option. Window sticker 1 Window sticker 2 With that said it's rated to tow 7700 lbs, which isn't too shabby. I don't have to park the Cayenne at an angle - I just had it drying after getting detailed (carpets shampooed etc) and what you...

Thanks, I was nearly delirious and on 80 minutes of sleep on that very first run... Had just driven the truck back from buying it in Arizona and friends convinced us to go out to the track with it. I wasn't even brake torquing it that hard and my RT sucked, plus it was both my wife and I in the...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm so conflicted... :P Re: SRT-8 - click to watch - this is a first-gen SRT-8 in the right lane on the first run I/we ever did down the track w/ the Cayenne. This was 2 adults + an (unoccupied) child seat in the back versus a lightly modded SRT-8. :) I was pretty happy...

That's fair. It's tough, I'm trying to keep this to a minimal budget and maximize what I get out of it, but I totally see where you're coming from on this. The other cars I have been seriously considering for this purpose are '97-'99 Jeep Cherokee XJs, and if I could swing it, a '95-'97 Land...

The seller is a younger guy getting ready to move back to California (I believe this story), not mechanically inclined and living in a loft, and claims he doesn't want to deal with getting the truck fixed as he has another car and he doesn't want to take the 4runner back to CA anyway. Not that...

Hi guys. I've found a local seller that's selling a '98 4runner Limited with 176,000 miles that triggered his airbags in what seems like a low-speed impact. I went and looked at the truck last night and overall it's in pretty good shape - he put in a new windshield (which I expect is due to the...
