    Misfire/Low Compression Cylinder 8 - Recommendations?

    Well...it ran well until we were on our way back from Montana for Christmas. Somewhere around Idaho Falls I noticed the check engine light started blinking for 30 seconds at a time and would then go solid for a bit then blink again. As soon as we took our exit in Utah, the engine was running...

    Misfire/Low Compression Cylinder 8 - Recommendations?

    Here's an update. I'm still driving it, but I took it to the place I purchased it from for a second opinion (and they said they'd figure out what it was at no cost to me). They came to the same conclusion and even went as far as removing the intake manifold. As I was talking to the mechanic...

    Misfire/Low Compression Cylinder 8 - Recommendations?

    A few weeks ago I had the CEL come on with code P0308, but didn't notice any change it how the engine was running. I did some research and thought it was probably a plug or the ignition coil. I replaced both but the code came back. I checked the new plug and it looked slightly oil fouled. I...

    2006 Family Build

    They're just 265/70s, so just a hair over stock. I haven't modified the suspension at all. I ended up getting the roof top tent on. Left the OEM rubber feet on, cut some 1/2" ABS plastic on and then put strut on top of that. Everything is secured to the roof with the stock mounting holes. I had...

    Intermittent High Pitched Noise While Driving

    While driving on Saturday, I noticed a high pitched, almost harmonic noise coming from the Sequoia. It doesn't change pitch with RPMs or speed, but seems to get louder the faster I go up until about 55 and then it goes away. I also can't pinpoint a general area that it's coming from in the...

    2006 Family Build

    I've been trying to figure out how to mount our RTT and after some research decided to put the existing strut on the stock roof rails (not the crossbars). I know some people have issues with using stock rails, but they're bolted to the roof with a dynamic weight limit of 160 pounds, ~500 with...

    2006 Family Build

    I noticed on the maintenance records on mine that at around 30k miles the dealer replaced the lower ball joints. I don't know if this was to fix a known issue or if it was done for some other reason.

    Tailgate Window Off Track

    Does anyone have experience with the rear window (tailgate) coming "off track"? Every time I roll the back window down, the passenger side drops down lower than the other side and won't go back up unless I go back and pull it up, popping it back in. Everything I've been able to find in...

    2006 Family Build

    After 12 years with various 4Runners, I've made the big move up to a Sequoia. Picked this up last week and I'm loving all of the room and the V8. We currently have two kids, but plan to have a couple more so we decided now was the time to find something that could fit everyone. My wife had been...
