Our "Cruiser Dogs"
Here's 11 yr old Henry (Border Collie) who is as close to being "in" the truck as he will get without major force, and 1 yr old Jasper (Rat Terrier) who LOVES the truck and was very bummed when I just took his picture and didn't let him go somewhere!
Mine was out when we bought at 104k, now 159k still out and I will be very careful NOT to whack, I don't want the light lit either. Dealer offered to replace bulb for me last year, told him absolutely no. Got a funny look, but it's still out!
My stereo lights went out recently though, miss...
I've noticed mine does better when it isn't real hot or real cold, this time of year I am getting 14 to 15 ish if I drive nice. (Around here it gets misreable hot 100+ for weeks straight and cold in the winter.) We did take a drive to Eastern Idaho just before Christmas, drove 80 with the...
I had my rear main seal "fixed" last November at local dealer. Last 2 times I went in for routine oil change they said I had an oil leak, this last time said it was rear main. I immediately questioned it and they took the truck back in and cleaned the oil off and told me to come back in a...
Once pulled a Ford out of a nasty rut on a remote mountain road. He didn't stop long enough to offer to pay or even say thanks. Guess it was too hard on his ego to be rescued by a female driving an old beat FJ40 with a 9 month old baby and an Old English Sheepdog in the back. (Great way to...
I think i might consider myself lucky our 2 Border Collies HATE to ride in any vehicle. I have to physically shove them in, hold them down, and slam the door shut before they bale out. The female will eventually settle down, usually in the back seat crammed between kids, but the male just...
ok, mines not too different. Have had an 85 4runner since '91. Absolutley love it, but 4 half grown kids don't fit too great (without WW3 going on). So, started looking for a 3/4 ton crew cab, just couldn't do it. Then I'm driving down the road and there she was! I new instantly I had to...
Thanks for the info. No, I do not trust Peterson, been going to Tom Scott for years for parts (for 85 4runner). (I usually deal with Danna now since Bill deserted to the service dept. but I do like Mark too) they know me on a first name basis and I do get a discount rate from them but still...
Anyone out there know of any good LC mechanics in southwest Idaho area? Been taking my 96 to the dealer for oil, etc. but they want $500 for the 120k check up! What do they do for $500!!! :confused: Also, where is a better place to get the front mud flaps? Want to remove running boards before...
I have leather in my 96, not impressed with how they held up. I think I would lean towards cloth next time. Kids are hard on the leather and I have been told that they sent the top grade leather in 96 to the Lexus factory and the Toyota's got the inferior leather. Not sure if it's true, but...
I would do the antenna for sure. Mine wasn't functioning when I bought it so I had the dealer agree to fix it before I bought. Their "fix" was to replace the bent mast. They didn't bother to hook it to the motor so it was basically a manual antenna. Well, I didn't catch it fast enough and...
First time was a LOT, puddle much deeper than we thought (middle of door) Hit hard enough that it bent my front licence plate clear back. Second time was just a gentle splash in the drive way, maybe 4 inches deep and didn't even splash much. I will check my wires though. Haven't had the truck...
I have a 96 TLC. Problem is mud puddles. I love them, truck not so much. Every time I hit a good one the engine sputters a little and the check engine light comes on. Had it re-set ($75!!! :mad: ) and it didn't last a week. Dealer said it was a misfire on cyl. 6, etc.... My question is is...
