    Mastercraft HSX touring tires

    I got 70000 miles out of these tires on my 03 sport v8. They wore very evenly, loved them. Bought another set, hoping for even more miles

    V8 Exhaust Help

    My 2003 v8 came with a Flowmaster 40 series installed by PO. This is exactly as you described: not loud, but sounds great when you get on it. Very nice sound at cruise, one can hear the engine, but it is a pleasant sound, no droning. Sounds really nice at start up as well. Quite happy with...

    4th Gen 4runner Engine Count

    Had a 1998, great vehicle, very reliable, carried all my camping gear and kids. Only gripe was that it was way underpowered (3.4). Still running great with 225K, sold it to a neighbor and bought a 2003 v8 SE, which happens to have been owned previously by the original poster...thanks, TFJ...

    HELP Cruise Control is unlocking Torque Converter???

    Yah, this is it exactly. I figured it had to be "normal", since it consistently did the same things under the same conditions. Thanks for the info and the validation

    HELP Cruise Control is unlocking Torque Converter???

    I chimed in back on page one with the exact same symptoms. Absolutely, this occurs only with the cruise control on, not when driving with my foot. I believe this is just how it is with these vehicles. After some thought, I believe a few things are working together to create this. I think...

    HELP Cruise Control is unlocking Torque Converter???

    2003 v8 sport for me, does the same thing. First noticed it on the first long trip I took. I have a fairly long commute each day, and I notice this on my commute as well. Conditions under which my 4r will do this are: when on cruise, descending a hill steep enough to back way out of the...

    Where you guys sitting at mileage wise?

    I drive mine out to Colorado from Alabama every summer. I will have about 220k on is this year when I leave; currently at 212k. I would rather take my 4runner than my wife's 2004 XTerra, which currently has 60k on it. 4runner is my daily driver, 50 miles round trip daily.

    Massive road trip to CO

    I drive out to CO from Alabama every summer, camping every stop along the way. San Juans are beautiful. I don't go hardcore off road in the 4runner while there, since my cousin I visit has a Land Cruiser and knows every road and trail in the state, it seems. You will definitely lose lots of...

    Shaking on Front Right Wheel While Braking

    The vibration from my rotors had gotten bad enough to shake the dash when I would apply the brakes above 40 mph. Had the rotors turned today. One was really bad; brakes are now completely smooth when stopping.:biggrin2:

    Oops, I'm not a soccer player...

    Well, I was kicking the soccer ball today and I managed to break the glass in the driver's side mirror of my 98 runner. Lots of cracks but no pieces fell out (yet). Motor still works, just busted glass. What are the possibilities for fixing? Considering semi-stabilizing the cracks with glue...
