#1566 of 2501 Re:Any issues with excessive static shock 24hrs, 365 days a year!! [user777] by robm2 Feb 07, 2006 (4:41 pm)
Replying to: user777 (Feb 07, 2006 9:27 am) Call me weird, but I kind of like the shock. I've had it since day 1 on my '04 4Runner V8. It is quite a ZAP! It can be quite entertaining letting the unsuspecting passenger get out first, and then listening for the scream. Replies to this message: linacjsdad (Feb 08, 2006 11:38 am)

Replying to: robm2 (Feb 07, 2006 4:41 pm) lol. That's really funny!!! I live in So. California, 2 miles from the beach. It gets to be 90+ in temp and somewhat humid too, and I'll still get zapped. Maybe I'll design a soft braided metal seat cover and sell it. Then you won't get zapped but you'll get pricked when the braid frays. hehehe. linacjsdad

Replying to: linacjsdad (Feb 06, 2006 3:21 pm) linacjsdad,   Thanks for the reply.   I did check all the current TSBs and there's nothing for anything related to this yet.   The dealer quoted me $718.00 to swap out the solenoid but there would be no guarantee that the solenoid was really the problem. It could be an intermittent open in the wiring or maybe an intermittent issue in the controller.   Their advice was to ignore it and wait for it to become a hard failure; not too re-assuring since Murphy's Law dictates that it WILL fail again. And it will fail again at the worst possible time.   Anyway, I'll try the 800 number and see what they say.   Thanks, Eric
#1569 of 2501 Re: Paint problems anyone? [meyersej] YES Me Too!! [grnwtrs] [freaking102] by kcwin1 Feb 09, 2006 (7:19 am)
Replying to: freaking102 (Dec 09, 2005 5:05 pm) Toyota owners with paint problems should get together a file a class action lawsuit. How a manufacturer can charge $4000+ more on average than a comparable SUV and not produce a product with a paint job that lasts at least the first year is reprehensible. I've just been denied my arbitration claim. I'm pursuing avenues with the Connecticut Attorney General's Office.

#1571 of 2501 Purchase advice by ggoins Feb 11, 2006 (3:02 pm)
Ok so I am ready to buy a new Runner. Anyone out there got opinions about the 6 vs 8 cylinder and the sport vs. limited vs/ SR5. Plan to use the vehicle for travel to and from Alaska as well as high altitude desert..thanks all. Replies to this message: robg4 (Feb 11, 2006 5:21 pm)

Replying to: ggoins (Feb 11, 2006 3:02 pm) My SR5 has a v6 and uses all the gas I would want it to. The v6 is very powerful and they say the v8 is even much more so.   When you study the differences of the 3 when you go to the Toyota.com web site you will see a lot of similarities in all 3. So, it's really according to how important certain things are for you. I have five extra options on mine that I like. When you study the comparison of the 3 it will become clear to you which you would like better.
#1573 of 2501 Purchase advice by kullenberg Feb 11, 2006 (5:23 pm)
I have a 04 Sport 4x4, v8 with almost 40k miles, Have never looked back! Great in snow, have made 4 transcontinental trips, and couldn't be more pleased. Tires are citical on this vehicle; I got rid of the Dunlops at 10k miles, and replaced them with Bridgestone Revos, which have made the 4R unstopable in the snow.
#1574 of 2501 If you don't need to tow by nedzel Feb 12, 2006 (8:43 am)
Then I suggest you get the V6. I've got a 2003 V8. It's a fine engine, lots of performance. Mileage isn't great.   As for sport, limited, SR5, it all depends upon what options you want. You'll have to look through the option packages and decide what you require versus what you can live without. Personally, I could not live without side-curtain airbags and heated seats. As a result, I ended up with a limited. YMMV. Replies to this message: ggoins (Feb 12, 2006 2:16 pm) nedzel (Feb 13, 2006 9:32 am) ggoins (Feb 13, 2006 1:48 pm) and 6 more...
