The V6 still purrs like a kitten and it is shifting fine, everything under the hood looks pretty clean. The body has some rust, but nothing compared to my much younger Fort Transit... Its actually the chassis and everything attached to it that I am worried about. Not only does it looks pretty...

Our old 4runner still does his job in the winter getting us around the farm and occasionally pulling the neighbor out of the ditch, and we sometimes take her for a drive into the forest. But he is not real roadworthy anymore, so I'm thinking about starting a restoration project together with my...

Thanks for the tip. I will do that!

Thanks Ron, on this forum I also read that a broken breaklight fuse can cause a shifter to get stuck in Park. I was first hoping it was something like that, but all fuses seemed fine. Do you know where I could find this shift interlock connector on the car?

So there was some black ice and no spike tires and my wife slipped, did a 180 and ended up in the ditch backwards. She was not going fast and there doesn't seem to be much damage, but when we wanted to pull the car out of the ditch I couldn't get it out of park. Then I found out that if I...

Yes, I think I found out today what it was; the alternator is not charging (properly). So immediately I started some googling and came across people having the same symptoms, and I read that you can change the brushes inside the alternator. I even think I found the part nr.: TOYOTA Holder...

Hi, Immediately after I start the car both battery and A/T oil temp lights go on. I checked all he belts but they seem to be tight enough, I also don't see or hear any belt slipping. Also the level of A/T oil is good (checked with running warm engine) Oh, and also the brake light is on, but...

Thanks MacGyver :) My daughter was playing with the central lock button on her side this afternoon and suddenly my lock just popped up... I love it when a car fixes itself. (I was afraid I had broken something when I slammed the door shut with the lock down). But I will take your advise and...

Hi, I tried the search, but I didn't find what I was looking for. Yesterday the drivers side door of my 1991 4-runner wouldn't stay closed, the lock just didn't pick and the door slammed right open again. It was late, it was dark, I probably locked the door by pushing the door-lock button and...

I might just do that. Would this be the part I'm after? If so, for 16 bucks it sure is worth a try. VSS Vehicle Speed Sensor for Chevy Geo Toyota Carolla Camry 83181 12020 | eBay

We don't have that here in Sweden :) Okay, wires on the transfer case. Tomorrow I will dive under the car.

Ah okay. Yes the light is on. But are there any 'obvious' things I can check myself before I bring it to the show and open up my wallet :) ? Like this speed sensor for example.

I'm a total noob when it comes to this car. We bought it last year because we could really use the big 4 wheels last winter. Could you tell me where I can read out codes and where to find the sensor?

Hi, I found some threads about this problem here on the forum but couldn't find a solution. At first the speedometer and odometer of our 1992 4runner sometimes didn't work but after some driving normally kicked in again. Driving was fine during the moments the speedo/odometer didn't work. So, I...
