    88 fj62 name this part + oil leak troubleshoot

    im not mechanically inclined enough to identify this part or area of my issue. i believe this is were oil was bubbling out when the engine was running, if not running-over from a valve cover leak. i now have the valve cover off to replace that gasket and to have access to possible service this...

    Is a 4Runner for me?!

    you will love a 3rd gen for what you want to do. my only complaints are the small fuel tank, about 275 hwy miles per tank, and its just a smidgen too small on the inside if you are conditioned to the cruiser but, i wouldnt even consider that an official complaint. my wife an i packed up our...

    Help w/ 2000 4Runner purchase

    test drive it down a bumpy road. also look at it from the side. does the back end slump? this generation is notorious for needing new shocks and coils around 100k miles. although, you are far from that. sounds like a descent deal. get the dealer under $10,000.

    1988 fj62 front leaf springs, one full, one half

    ive got leaf springs for a 1988 fj62. this probably fits other models too. i bought two used incase i needed both. i replaced two leafs (old were cracked) on the right front and everything sat evenly and decided to not rebuild the other side. these are used springs but in good condition...

    swirl marks on black exterior

    "swirl marks" came up with 0 search results here. wondering what you fellas recommend about getting rid of them on a black truck. purchased my 4runner back in sept, apparently the owner before me used a more abrasive surface to wash 'er with. at home techniques, products. also, an area...

    2000 4runner dashlights out

    problem solved. dimmer needed to be hooked to the ground rather than the ignition power. similar posts suggest to terminate the dimmer wire which is incorrect for this situation.

    2000 4runner dashlights out

    nope im going to try a few more things tomorrow: disconnect the battery for about 30 mins, hoping for a computer reset double check the ground connection try connecting the illumination wire while the headlights are in the on position fool around with the dimmer wire possibly connect the...

    2000 4runner dashlights out

    nope. dash lights (instrument lights including climate control) remain off with everything unplugged. the *only way i can get any dash power is to connect it to the red, ignition power wire coming from the truck end of the harness. so there is a total of 3 spliced wires on that: ignition power...

    2000 4runner dashlights out

    visually checked all fuses again, just now. under the steering wheel and under the hood. when i make contact with the illumination wire with the power wire, the dash lights come on when the headlights are off, then turn off when i turn the head lights on. thats the only way i can get any...

    2000 4runner dashlights out

    yes. ive tried just about everything it seems. the dimmer wire activates the daytime running lights when connected to the constant power, by the way. this is really throwing me for a whirl! are the dash lights suppose to remain on with the headlights in the off position? i would say it could...

    2000 4runner dashlights out

    all fuses are OK. no owners manual. i have a feeling the illumination or the dimmer wire is not hooked up to the correct power source or ground. i hate to guess and test too much and blow something up. im hitting all around the answer with my searches. just cannot pin point exactly...

    connect illumination to ignition power instead of the other power?

    2000 4runner dashlights out

    so a new development with this problem. its obvious now that i just have a few wires mix matched. im really thinking its the illumination wire that should be connected to something other than power. i just went outside, at dark, and saw that my dash lights were on; the truck is not running...
