Replying to: worldtour (Oct 22, 2009 8:20 pm) I went with just replacing with the same size I had already. The next tire purchase I'll go bigger.   Any ideas on the CD player problem? Replies to this message: jumpoutaplane (Oct 26, 2009 10:06 pm)
#91 of 100 CD Player & Drink Holders Issues - 97 4Runner by point65 Oct 24, 2009 (7:46 am)
Hi all My CD Player looks like a separate unit from the tape player above it, although it occupies the same space. It takes in a CD, spins around a little, then nothing happens. Sometimes it ejects the CD, other times it won't. Is there a fuse I could be looking for to replace, or should I just replace the whole system?   Also, I broke the the drink holder that slides out of the front console above the radio, and the kids broke the drink holder that flips down from the back of the center console. Are these easy replacements should I find a donor 4Runner, or should I just get them from the dealership parts department?   Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: point65 (Oct 24, 2009 7:39 am) From what I know of stock cd players and age, I would say that your problem lies within the head unit itself. There is only one fuse that connects to your radio and it would not turn on at all if that was compromised. Id say go find yourself an aftermarket head unit of your liking. www.sonicelectronics.com is pretty decent. There are a few others just like this with similar pricing. Find one that is based close to you for quicker shipping. If youre looking for cheap and longevity, get one that has direct input for the cd, as opposed to a motorized face.

Replying to: point65 (Oct 24, 2009 7:46 am) Check my post above, the exact same applies to you.   As for the cup holders, check out a local junk yard. Call and see if they have your part, theyll probably even pull it out and ship it to you, but if not, pick it up. Unless that drive would cost more than the part at a local dealer. Or try online www.car-parts.com or www.automotix.com may work.
#94 of 100 I am NEW tonight by oknavy3 Oct 30, 2009 (4:43 pm)
Just bought an 02 Limited 4WD w/102k. I replaced the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, hoses, tranny and all gear box fluids, seems good to go 3 probs: The clock no work so I pulled the trim to find NO CONNECTOR anywhere, the clock was not connected and none to be found anywhere! The trans kicks into D fairly hard, from say R, and it sure rides "bouncy" my 48 year old wife no likey ride (we went from a minivan ouch). also wierd. The 4wd selector and trans gear selector "move" as I hit bumps............. Please advise!!!!!!!!! Thanks guys Rich U. S.

Greetings all. Can't believe it took me so long to find this forum. I have a 1997 4runner that I purchased new. I'm the only owner and I've put all the miles on it, which currently is 340,000 miles and running strong. No engine or transmission work and just had the rear brake drums replaced this past weekend for the first time. I live in Ohio and the Winters are tough on cars, but this vehicle just keeps on trucking. Best I've ever owned. I'm hoping to keep it for another couple of years and then pass it on to my son who is currently in college. He wants it for hauling his kayak around the country. Anyone currently have a higher mileage 4runner on this forum? Thanks. J Replies to this message: tidester (Nov 04, 2009 11:19 am) benchmaster435 (Nov 05, 2009 5:15 am) point65 (Nov 04, 2009 1:42 pm)

Replying to: benchmaster435 (Nov 04, 2009 4:49 am) 340,000 miles and running strong   Wow! That works out to about 26,000 miles per year which is twice the average mileage of personal vehicles. You must have a long commute.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: benchmaster435 (Nov 05, 2009 5:15 am)

Replying to: benchmaster435 (Nov 04, 2009 4:49 am) Yeah, I got 340,001 miles on mine! Nah, just kiddin'. I only have 153K and counting. But now I have an idea how far I can go. I bought it because we had a baby coming, and last week I told her it'd be the car she takes to college with her since it's running so great and I don't need to get her anything new as long as this one was still going. How cool is that?   Keep on pressing yours on down the road.

Replying to: tidester (Nov 04, 2009 11:19 am) Your right, I do have a long commute, about 72 miles a day. I've also taken it across the country twice - from Ohio to Taos New Mexico, South Dakota, Colorado, etc., Been the most reliable car I've ever owned. I just had a tune-up and all the fluids changed, rear brake drums replaced (first time) and emergency brake (all parts replaced). A small section of brake line and that's about it. Never had the engine or transmission cracked open, replaced two starter motors, two lifetime batteries, I'm on my 6th set of tires though, even though I've kept alignment up, it seems to chew tires up, I still have plenty of thread, but they cup badly. Oh well, small price to pay. I plan on keeping it until my youngest graduates college - in two years and then give it to him.
