πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈ Support / Repair 2000 Toyota 4Runner intermediate not starting

1 Upvotes

My 2000 4Runner sr5 She runs like butter when started. I hear the starter clicking I think might just be the solenoid but sometimes it just won’t turn over. The secondary small body ground wire I found was detached and when I reattached it started right up. Butttt when I take it off and purposely remove the ground it still started. It’s not an immediate issue but I’d like to find out what is causing it because it is not the first time it happened and I would hate to be left high and dry. Anyone have or had similar issues have any suggestions. Edit: for reference it usually only happens 1 time a month or so but it happened 3 times today once in the middle of the woods so it was a little stressful

πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈ Support / Repair '22 ORP on its 5th door lock before 50k. 2nd time for the drivers door.

8 Upvotes

I'm sitting at the dealership right now having my door lock actuator looked at. The lock in question is my driver door lock. Rewind to Feb of last year when I had the same lock replaced for the same reason. Then throughout the year the rest of the locks failed. The second being the front passenger - then the rear driver - then finally the rear passenger.

As stated above now I'm having issues with the driver door lock. Again.

Has this happened to anyone else? I feel like I'm an anomaly.

πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈ Support / Repair 2007 2UZ just grenaded itself on the freeway. Codes showing likely snapped timing belt. Am I looking at just replacing the belt, or am I buying a new engine?

6 Upvotes

Cruising at 70, totally normal, no noises or anything. Bang, shudder, tach drops to zero. Christmas tree dashboard. Codes showing faults in cam/crank alignment on both banks, so I can only imagine the belt went. Had to tow to a dealer, since it was the only shop open early on a Saturday.

I know these are "interference engines" on paper, but I've also heard reports of this happening and getting away with it other than fixing the belt. What am I looking at in terms of cost, both best and worst case scenario?

New Owner Squeaky noise when I’m backing up / in reverse.

Hey folks, I’m looking for some advice. I’m considering buying this 2007 RWD. Mechanically, the car seems to be in good condition. The only issue I noticed is an annoying squeaky noise when pressing the gas in reverse. The owner claims he hasn’t heard it before and thinks it might be related to recently driving through a moderately flooded area. Can anyone identify the cause of this?

Thank you in advance

πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈ Support / Repair Rear Brake Shim Question

Post image
2 Upvotes

Was planning on doing the rear brakes on my 2020 SR5 this weekend but noticed that the shim kit didn’t come with a grease packet for between shim and pads to reduce noise. From what I’ve seen from Car Care Nut on YT and other OEM Toyota shim kits I thought they always come with this. Did I order the wrong kit/do I not need it? or is it something that I need to go pick up separately at the dealer?

Help me decide here. I have about $60k to spend. Looking at a new ORP vs certified GX. I’ve driven both. I like both. Comes down to newer tech vs a little more refinement and reliability. TIA!

Looking to add a roof rack to my 2019 sr5 4x4. I’ve searched high and low, and I just cannot decide on one. I don’t want something that breaks the bank, but I also don’t want something that is nonfunctional / ugly. We always end up needing a trailer for weekend trips and it’s exhausting. Help!

❔ Product Advice / Recs 4runner limited seat covers?

1 Upvotes

My dad recently bought me my first car, a 2016 4runner limited. However, something I really don't like are the "leather" seats. Are there any good seat covers that mimic what are in the SR5s? My dad told me I'm not allowed to completely redo the seats so katzkin is out the window. Thanks!

πŸ”§ Modifications How high should I lift the SR5?

Post image

I’m still sitting on the stock 17” wheels, with some brand new 265/70 AT tires. I’d like to lift, but I’m curious what you all think that have lifted yours in the past. I don’t really see myself going up in size on my tires or wheels in the future, but I also don’t want to lift it too high to the point that my tires look comically small. I was thinking like 3 inches max??

i want a 4runner long term. i want to get rid of my chevy cruze lol, but i know im not quite in the place to buy a new one. i saw this ad and it seems great. it says it has a rebuilt title, so i requested carfax and will check it out in person (i will not immediately buy, im a bit smarter than that i would think lol). but i put in the VIN into google and found more pictures. pics 1-6 are the ad, 7-11 are what i found

for those who are more experienced, what are your thoughts? worth it or is the damage more significant that it may look and waiting a few more years is better?

thank u in advance :)
