    Drove a bit with parking brake on

    Hi all, I was picking up a bunch of passengers in the rain last night put the parking brake on to load everything up and then drove off. I went about three city blocks (less than 1/2 mile, maybe 25mph max) before I realized. A couple stop signs and a hill but didn't even notice until I saw the...

    Odometer, trip meter discrepancy

    Over the last two 200 mile segments I've driven, I've noticed that the Trip Meter is about 10 miles different than the Odometer difference. For example, Odometer will go from 150,000 to 150,200 Trip meter will go from 0 to 210 Which one should I trust and why is it happening? After...

    Noise while turning after knuckle rebuild, steering work, and new suspension

    Hi all - I had some work done recently and haven't driven much at all since then for various reasons but I've noticed a few times that I'll hear like a squeak or rubbing sound, like rubber on tile when I'm bringing the steering wheel back to straight from a right turn. I don't know exactly how...

    Should EGR Vacuum Modulator hold steady vacuum applied to the bottom (exhaust) port?

    I have a new one from Toyota. I am applying vacuum to the bottom port and it doesn't hold - it will slowwwly go down from ~15mmHg to 0 over about 30 seconds. The FSM tests are useless (blow into Q while blocking P/R and determine how freely air flows). Can anyone confirm whether this is indeed...

    How to choose a suspension

    Hi all - After two years of ownership and most of the big PM pieces done, I'm ready to replace the stock, sagging suspension. The shocks aren't absorbing much these days. I'm not sure how to approach it so asking for advice and any "while you're in there" suggestions - steering dampener...

    Exhaust system questions

    Which portion(s) of the exhaust system should I focus on during a baseline? Are there any parts that are definitely replace after 150k miles? Or things that should be done preventatively? So far I've replaced the PCV Valve and top two ventilation hoses which were both hard/cracked. I'll be...

    Trying to identify my wheels

    Visiting from the 80 section - can someone link me some info on the wheels my truck came with? I believe they are 2016 4Runner Trail Editions which are powder coated black.

    Wet seatbelt

    After a week of being parked in the rain (nose uphill), I came back to a wet DS seatbelt... The first couple things I did when I bought the truck 18mos ago were water related. I could see old water stains on the headliner and noticed carpet getting wet so I: - Removed headliner, removed and...

    YAP0401 Thread

    Hi all - I got a P0401 driving back home through the pass last week. When the CEL came on, I plugged in my OBD and had my passenger read it while I kept driving. Once I saw it was a P0401, I decided to just keep going since we were only 15-20 miles from home. I have driven it around the...

    Your alarm/unlock remote stops working one day...

    I just realized I have no idea how alarm systems work...I know I use the same button to lock or unlock and the red light goes blinky but what if I lost the remote? My spare key is the valet key so I could get in but wouldn't the alarm just keep sounding after I unlocked it? I guess the same...

    Starting after left sitting for 3 months

    Hi all - I just got back from an extended work assignment and am excited to finally start baselining the truck I bought in May 2018 (thread to come). However, the last time I drove it was Oct. 12, 2018 and the last time I filled fuel was likely two weeks before that. I experienced a no-start...

    Troubleshooting brake pedal

    Hello, For various reasons I asked a shop to install new rear rotors/calipers/pads for me. I had bought the truck a few months back and it came with one rear rotor that was very scored due to what looked like a rusty caliper. I let it sit for 4-6 weeks and one day it developed a slow brake...

    Could use some second opinion(s)/buying advice

    Context: Never had an 80, would like one. No garage at the moment, just surface parking. However, perfectly happy to do as many minor things as I can. So had a quick test drive of a 1995 (with cloth!) last night as it was getting dark. Today I go look at a 1996 for comparison. Neither has...
