You are in the Toyota 4Runner Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
| Thanks for all the advice regarding the "Tire Rotation/Brakes" I'll probably look for new tires in a month or so, which will be well in advance of the tire wearing to the tread line as we use the 4Runner for skiing trips in northern New England. I want some good skins on the rim before our first trip. The forum works! | |

Have 2008 4Runner, do not know if a rigid tire cover is available after market. If not a good custom fit this may cause problems with water puddles, corosion and rotting. The Lexus RX 350 has a plastic molded spare tire cover, it isolates the spare tire well. Is there something similar for 2008 4Runner? Would a FJ Cruiser rigid ABS cover fit? Southwind Plastics has released a new material Polypro-2(TM) in its new line of tire covers which is clear/transparent, this would allow inspection without disassemble. |

Can anyone tell me where to find the re-torque specs on the propeller shaft bolts of a 2004 4Runner (SR5 4WD) 4.7L engine, 5 speed auto transmission? There seems to be little info out there for the do it you selfer without a set of factory repair manuals.

I have a 2006 Limited 4 Runner, why in the world would Toyota put "H" Rated Tires on a SUV? The size is P2655/60R18 109H. Just does not make sense on a SUV. Anyone have any insight inot this?

I live on long island and my family enjoys taking our SUV to the beach and riding till we find the right spot. There are areas of packed sand and soft sand. I was told by one Toyota dealer that I could take the Highlander on the beach and another said it was possible if I let the air out of the tires (not something I want to do). Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of taking the Highlander on the beach?

Replying to: boats3 (Oct 08, 2008 3:28 am) I take my 4Runner on the beach at Cape Poge every year. The signs say "lower your tire pressure to 15 psi or you will get stuck." The signs don't lie. Most such beaches have air compressors were you can add air once you get off the beach. You will also need the usual required recovery equipment (strap, tow hooks, jack, jacking plate, shovel) and a tire pressure gauge. As for adding a compressor to the car, cheap plug-in air compressors don't have the volume to efficiently pump your tires. If you really want your own on-board compressor, you are looking at something like an Oasis compressor (on the order of $1000). Before you get all of that, check with the organization that runs the beach. Some of them do not allow AWD vehicles on the beach. |
