Can anyone help me out with this?

I have a 2012 SR5 and I was hearing a rattling sound coming from the driver's side rear. I discovered that there were two bolts missing from the plastic rocker panel under the car (rear driver's side). I went to the dealer and they gave me two replacement bolts, but they don't match any of the...

I also have an 03 4Runner, so I'm just used to throwing my yak up on the factory roof rack already. Obviously I don't have the shark fin on the 03 so that's never been an issue. Haven't thought about other brands but maybe I should.

I own a 2012 4Runner SR5 without the factory cross bars on the roof. Does anyone have trouble strapping a kayak to your roof while using the factory crossbars? I'm thinking that shark fin would get in the way. Seems like a dumb idea to have that fin up there... I don't want to spend $100 for...

Well, I was doing some seafoam work to my 4runner today and now the passenger side bolt to the engine cover is missing. I have no idea how it came loose so easily. I didn't put the cover back on before I drove the truck around so I'm assuming it came out during that time. Does anyone know the...

Sorry, V6....2wd

I need some advice about what to do with my wife's 03 4runner. It has 130,000 miles on it. I have no idea about the service history of the vehicle. She bought it brand new several years before we met. It seems to be running fine. I'm assuming things like spark plugs have not been replaced. Can...

Is this something that will affect the car? Does it need to be looked at ASAP?

I'm a total newb here. I just drove my g/fs T4R about 400 miles tonight. After getting off the interstate and driving in the city, I noticed a whining noise coming from the front of the car. It sounds like a power steering whine that you would hear from alot of Ford vehicles. However, it...
