Same thing happened to me a month ago! Park in a well lit area folks!

I have a 2000 Limited with leather seats that are in great shape and I have the same problem. I'm 5' 10" and after an hour or two of driving it is a pain in the leg for me. It is really the only thing I hate about this rig. When I have time I'm gonna try to find a used Recaro seat and buy a...

With all the crappy drivers out there, why would you want to disable this?

Get this, I leave my 2000 4-Runner at the doctors office yesterday cause I needed to be driven home. I leave it overnight and today when I pick it up the catalytic converter has been stolen! They sawed the fricken thing out! So if you here of someone trying to sell one in the Minnesota area...

Mine does this too. But I pull out the key, spin it 180 degrees and put it back in. Seems to work every time after that. DM

I need to get new rubber on my 2000 4Runner. I do not go off road, but do deal with MN winters. Ice around here is more dangerous than snow. What tires would you recommend?

I need to pull off the fake wood trim around the stereo/heating area of the dash. How does this come off?

I have a couple of canoe missions coming up, and would like to tie the front of the canoe down in the front, but right now I cannot do much with the grill in place. I always strap it down on top with two tie-downs as well. Does anyone have a bracket type solution for the front other than a...

For a 2000 4 runner?

No doubt I was going too fast for the tires and rig. Off camber 90 degree corner and all. I drove like I had on blizzaks and paid the price (or will pay the price). DM

We got a blizzard in MN this weekend and I was traveling south coming through the ice zone where the snow changed to rain. Was going slow around a corner and she went straight into the ditch and took out a turn sign :-( Got lucky and just took out the bumper. So my question for next season is...

Anyone ever put a better light in the back of one of these rigs for backing up? Compared to my previous car the backup lights are worthless.

Where did you get those mag light clips? David

I'm picking up a 2000 LTD tomorrow and will be towing occasionally. I want to install a transmission cooler. What are the best brands and where can I buy one at good price? Also, I have read threads about sway bars for the rear that are recommended for towing. Are these just larger sway bars...

I'm trying to decide between two vehicles. One is a 2000 4runner with 103k miles for $9750. All records current. Very nice shape. The other is a 2003 4runner with 103k miles for $11950. Nice shape too. Both have the six cylinder, 4wd. Who has experience with both and can guide my decision...
