:doh: forgot about that. i ordered from another vendor. All in all though, still a ton cheaper than taking it in, they want something like $900 to do one around here. I have an impact wrench and compressor so this shouldn't take more than an hour, two if I take my time. Only thing I need to...

Ordered a wheel bearing hub assembly. Thanks to all the info on this site, I was able to figure out the problem fairly quickly. :wave: Haven't been on much since I first bought the truck new in 2007. But it has 87k miles of California driving on it now so no surprised I have to throw some...

So far the farthest is only Hayward, CA to Phoenix, AZ and back. We are planning on driving all the way to San Luis Potosi, Mexico this Christmas. Going to try to make it to Mexico City too if we have the time. :driving:

Ha, I have the exact same truck too. I was looking at those, I think the smallest one would be perfect for me and my wife. She is fine with tent sides but wants a heater :D Have fun camping.

Even in the unlikely event that it is an issue with our trucks I am fully capable of reaching down and putting the transmission in N :D

I can feel a panel covering on mine. Previous owner must have done somthing to pull it off.

Thanks for the information everyone, I've been looking at trailers as well. I think I might go the pop-up route since most of the places I like to go camping are up dirt Forest Service roads. I remember my parents loading up the '86 4Runner, putting us kids in the back and hooking up the...

There is no key in an ES350 it is one of those push button setups that you have to hold down for 3 seconds to turn off the car. Lot of time at 120mph. Still doesn't stop you from shifting into neutral

What most of the buy American crowd does not realize is that a large number of "American" cars and trucks are built in Mexico or Canada. I drove by the GM plant in Silao, Mexico, that plant is huge. :jaw drop:

Sounds like they are Easter egging the problem on your dime. I would take it to another shop. Did they even check the fuel filter? Are the CAT and o2 sensors ok?

When it is just my wife and I going somewhere with minimal stuff, we take the BMW (preferably with the top down :D ), it is a small 4 cyl and I can get 30MPG and have fun. When I need to haul an bunch of people and/or stuff, I take the 4Runner. All about having the right tool for the right job...

I had the same thing in a Subaru I used to have. The cheap oil change shop on 19th AVE in SF filled up the washer fluid with water. After that, I would fill my washer reservoir right before I took the car in. Now that I am in the burbs with some space I can do my own oil changes again.

hmmm 50-state legal, I would have never guessed :confused:

I stuck a peice of weather stripping on mine :D

How do those do on the freeway? I want to get some more agressive tires for my trip to Mexico later this year but 4000+ miles of it is going to be on the Interstate heading to Texas and back.
