Another, "Did you know?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simple way to roll back the odometer on the 4runner w/o being detected:
-On an open parking lot (flat surface)
a. Turn steering wheel to full lock left
b. start car , go forward in 3 complete rotations.
c. turn off ingitiion. Wait a full 60 seconds and restart
d. leaving wheel at full lock left, engage R and back up 5 complete rotations (slowly). This engages the roll back function.
e. Continue in reverse: After this point every full 360 rotation will remove app. 110 miles from the odometer. Be advised: the odometer will not display the reduction yet...
f. To reveal/display the rolled back odometer reading the car must be driven forward for at least 5 continuous miles.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This really works my '02 4runner!!

I just rolled my odometer back from 27083 miles to 25100 miles. Just remember to keep records so you won't forget the proper oil change interval!

Have fun!

BTW, this forum does NOT advocate doing this illegal procedure...it's FYI only! Do at your own risk!



You were kidding about this, right?

Yes. It was an April Fool's Day joke that he did two years ago. Actually, that was nothing compared to what he did this year! We became a Mercedes Benz G-class forum for the day! :D

Yeah, that was actually kind of mean. He had members going for awhile. He even had MB G-class of the month, instead of 4ROTM.

I guess next year we can become a Toyota Corrolla forum for a day.:D

Well I'm fairly confident it's not true, especially after peter78's comment about April fools. I'm reluctant to try it as there's a slight chance it will work. If it does work, Hitman said he'd eat his shorts and I don't think any of us want to be around for that.... :eek:
 
anyone ever tried it and proved it is working or not working.

it is too early to say that it is not working before proved otherwise.

who knows it can be an April Fools day saying "IT IS NOT WORKING"
