Yeah, thanks for those tips!

Leigh, had a couple lookers that might be interested. I'm leary of posting on those sites after hearing about all those scams, I really don't feel like dealing with any jokers like that. I think I'll try placing an ad on autotrader.com though.

Thanks, Leigh! I'm really hesitant about selling because I'm still so attatched to it and it still runs like a champ.

Well, time has come to put my 1999 Toyota Tacoma SR5 PreRunner 3.4L V6 automatic up for sale. Wife says I've got too many toys and my little rug rat is getting older now and we need a larger vehicle for trips. Mileage is 70-80% freeway. Routine maintenance has been performed by myself, oil changed every 3-5K miles. I've installed a new set of spark plugs and wires at 120K miles. Tires still have good tread on them. Power steering fluid, brake fluid and coolant have all been flushed less than 10K miles ago and was performed at the dealership. I'm asking $6700USD (firm), which is a pretty good price according to KBB.com, NADA.com and edmunds.com. Truck is rust free and has been in California its whole life. The truck is located in the San Gabriel Valley in SoCal, zip 91803. A list of goodies is listed below.
- 138,xxx miles (70-80% freeway)
- Husky floor liners
- Toyota OEM rear all-weather floor mats
- 1.5" Cornfed front coil spacers
- WAAG grille guard
- Toyota OEM bug/hood deflector
- 2001 Toyota OEM star pattern aluminum alloy wheels
- PIAA 520 fog lights with Toyota OEM toggle switch
- Smittybilt nerf bars
- deckplate and elbow mod
- TrueFlow modular intake tube
- Toyota drop in bed liner
- tint on driver and passenger side windows
- sliding rear window
- JVC stereo cassette player with 12 disc CD changer
Well, that's all I can think of at the moment, I'll amend this thread as needed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me. Thanks for taking a look!

What was the exact code that came up? A clogged cat may cause the drop in MPG as does a bad O2 sensor.

Try your local junk yards or car-part.com.

Some sort of vacuum valve? The first # is the Toyota OEM part number, I have no idea what the 2nd number is.

Highlanders 4WD system is a full-time all wheel drive system and is always in use. It incorporates a center diff. with a built in viscous coupler, in which, limits slippage when the computer senses the tires slipping or losing traction. There is no levers to pull nor buttons to push. In actuality, it should be called all-wheel drive and not 4-wheel drive. So your dealer did not really deceive you, it really is automagic.
Here's another explanation:
"Full time four wheel drive" sounds more rugged than "all wheel drive" so
the former is often used to describe the system in SUV's. When driving all
4 wheels on dry pavement, a center differential is used to split the power
between the front and rear axles intead of a transfer case. A center
differential can vary the amount of power transmitted to the front and rear
axles, while a transfer case splits the power evenly. The transfer case's
even power split can cause premature tire wear and drivetrain binding on dry
pavement so it is not practical in permanent 4WD applications but they tend
to be more ruggedly built than center differentials. There are many
variations of the AWD theme, like center differentials that lock or have
viscous couplings, but they all allow variation between the front and rear
axles.

Not sure about the Sienna, but there are rumblings about the Taco for a 2010 or 2011 redo.

Agreed with what Leigh said. Just replace the battery yourself. If you have an alarm I would pull the fuse to the alarm first, install the new battery and re-insert the fuse, that way the alarm won't be going off when you connect the battery cables.
-
David, double check the brake fluid level in the reservoir and make sure the fluid is at or a little above the FULL line. That should solve your light problem.
-
It should still be under warranty, get it to your nearest dealer and have them take care of it ASAP!
-
Make sure your tires are properly inflated and you have your Highlander properly maintained at the regular intervals as specified in your owner's manual.
-
I'm guessing it's a battery issue. When was the last time the battery was changed out? In my experience, a battery usually last about 4 years before it should be changed out.
-
Just go to your local autoparts store and drop in a can of fuel injector cleaner every oil change and you'll be golden.

Thanks for the pics, Leigh. Wish I could have made it this year, but with a 2.5 year old rug rat, that make things difficult. I saw some pics of a Tundra dually, man, what a monster that thing must look in person!
-
I'll take the 911 Turbo! At a bargain price that is. ;)
Haven't posted in awhile because of my 2.5 year old rug rat, also the boards seem kind of slow in the truck section too. Hope all is well with you too, Leigh!
-
NOW you have this for sale! After I picked something up a few weeks ago...
Anyhoo, bump for quality kit!

Use the Firefox browser, it has a built in spell checker as you type.

You probably won't notice that much of a difference in ride if you upgrade to 17" wheels.

Yeah, the imported car will have to meet safety and smog standards among other things.
