    Why are 2008s and 2009s seemingly hard to find?

    Mine is an '09 Urban Runner and I couldn't be happier, it's like bullet proof and purrs like cat, but it's also low mileage 108K, and despite a salvage title, no signs of salvage performance.

    Replacing brake fluid proper way

    I ran into a problem with my Schwaben brake bleeder. The Master Cylinder adapter that came with the kit did not fit, too small, fits European but not Japanese. Does anyone know if this adapter would fit? I'm willing to pay to get it if it fits, but not $50 which is the price of the entire...

    Totally confused about 4th gen front calipers: 13WG or 13WH

    I'm taking notes here, because pretty soon I'm gonna do mine!

    Replacing brake fluid proper way

    I plan on flushing my brake fluid pretty soon. I have a Schwaben brake bleeder, would I need to turn truck's power to position II when bleeding the rear brakes? This bleeder is a one person operation and no brake pressing is needed to drain system.

    Needing Custom Steering Wheel Shop

    That's a no brainer than going with Custom Craft. I love the sporty curves on that steering wheel. I'm in;)

    Needing Custom Steering Wheel Shop

    Thanks for the eBay link. I didn’t think they were being sold there. How’s the fit and finish on yours?

    Needing Custom Steering Wheel Shop

    I searched everywhere on the forum but the threads are endless, so I need your help if you have the info. I got me an '06 steering wheel from PicknPull that's in decent shape. I'd like to have it custom made with perforated leather as well as a thicker diameter. I called a shop in Texas, Custom...

    Was the 5th Gen steering wheel plug and play? Is it thicker than 4th Gen?

    Trouble reading oil levels on dipstick

    Good luck if you've just changed oil, you won't see anything. I usually have to wait for at least a thousand miles before I could see the high and low, bad design!~

    Check engine, traction control, and VSC light on.

    When this happened to me, a new OEM gas cap resolved the problem. I love the "thump" my new gas cap makes when you remove it. This tells me it's pretty tight and what I'm hearing is pressure release from gas tank.

    Better ride quality

    Ride comfort is not a 4Runner feature. I recently drove my cousin's 2008 Highlander and I noticed a marked difference, I wished we had in our 4Runners, but that's another story!

    Aftermarket key fobs

    I've had one of these for 2 years now, and yes the trunk button on it does control the rear hatch window. It's elegant and well constructed.

    Air Coming Thru Central Locking Switch

    The weather has changed to cold as of late. Yesterday, I noticed an air draft coming thru the central locking switch area, and air volume is commensurate with truck's speed; noticeable on freeway and non-existent when stopped. I'm not sure what that is, I've had truck for over 2 years and this...

    Techstream in Vegas?

    I had the same issue like you and getting a new gas cap fixed my problem, but I had to reset those warning lights, which you could do for free at Oreilly's or Advanced Auto Parts, who could also scan it for you at no charge.
