I went to get something out of my 4runner and it was completely unresponsive to the fob. When I opened the door none of the lights or anything turned on. I noticed a strange noise coming from under the hood. No clue how long this was going on for, but I just disconnected the battery. Here's a...

Thanks for the tips guys. There wasn't any play when I rocked the tire. But, my dust shield doesn't appear to be touching anything. If the dust shield were bent and touching something, wouldn't the grinding noise be non stop? I only hear it like once every rotation, if that makes sense

Posted on here a few days ago about my situation. Replaced my LBJ's about a month ago and shortly after I started hearing a strange girding noise, that has slowly become more intense. Took it to a shop and the mechanic took it for a spin around the block, and said it was most likely a wheel...

Good thinking. I'm gonna tear it apart tomorrow and I'll check them out. Wouldn't I only hear the grinding when I brake though, as opposed to all the time?

Took it in to a shop today and the mechanic drove around the block with me. He said it sounded like the front wheel bearing was going bad, and quoted me $500 to have it replaced. The noise started shortly after I replaced my LBJ's, and has gotten progressively worse. It now sounds like a light...

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely look into that. I don't think it involves the heater though. The heater works fine, and the noise is there even when I'm not using the heater.

So I Have this weird noise coming from behind my dash. It sounds like it's coming from behind the head unit. It sounds like an old tape deck trying to rewind a tape, and get's louder as I speed up. I mostly notice it at speeds above 40MPH. The weird thing is, if I pump my brakes it seems to go...

I'll post some current pics here pretty soon. It's raining like crazy up here in Denver so the truck looks like shit right now. I forgot the rest of the story, which I think is pretty entertaining. So I had purchased mexican insurance on my way down there, and in order for them to cover me, I...

Haha that's not what it looks like now. This was taken the day after the accident

So back in 2007 I took my 4runner down to Mexico. I had just gotten back from a deployment and was definitely overdoing it on the partying. So, like an idiot I thought it would be fun to take the 4runner off-roading after about 12 straight hours of heavy drinking. That was the first time I had...

Is there anywhere I can get the measurements? The 5th gens look a bit taller and heavier to me, so I'm assuming they're incompatible. I need new springs though, and it's a great deal!

So I've been looking at replacing my springs and I came across a very good deal for some brand new 5th gen springs. Probably a dumb question, but are they compatible with my 3rd gen?

So I've had this weird vibration since I bought the T4R earlier this year. It's only at 70mph and above. Basically, the vibration bounces back and forth from the front to back of the truck. I'll feel it creep up to the front of the truck (especially in the steering wheel), and as soon as it...

That's a hell of a point kball. After I shot this video I removed the drive belts and started it up...no noise. When I reassembled everything, there was a similar noise, but I could see the hose rubbing up against the belt. So it was definitely something else the first go around...possibly the...

First off, thanks to all of you for your help. Second off.....I'm a jackass. So I pulled the drive belts off and started it up and everything sounded perfect. Put the fan and belts back on and the same noise was back. After looking at it for about 2 seconds, I realized that I had connected the...
