OK post what your problems are, and can not fix at all.

My rig is driving me crazy as the moon roof has a high pitvh sound in it when driving over 60 mph, I tried everything to stop it with no results at all. Any help please.

My cup holder has started rattling when it's pushed in all the way. So now I drive with it pulled out a little.

My 22RE's day to day quirky personality of running how it wants to - be it good, bad, decent...especially when sitting warm for a few minutes then restarting...crazy.

And that rattle beneath the dash on cold days till the defrost warms it up

I have a hesitation that I think I finally figured out after about four months of dealing with it and another several weeks of diagnosing.

Other than that, all I have is

1) the cup holder is stuck in. I don't know if I can fix it or if I have to replace it. I haven't tried yet but it would be nice to be able to not have to juggle a cup of cofee, the steering wheel, the directional, the radio, my cell phone and the shifter all at once...............ouch that's hot!

2) The absolutely lousy bench seat that came with the truck that kills my back after about 45 minutes or 15 if it's a bumpy ride.

I actually just changed the seat to a split bench out of an extended cab that has an arm rest, more cusion and an adjustable back..........ahhhh.

The doors on those little cargo compartments in the back of my first gen runner. Every little bump in the road has them shaking and rattling around like a dreidel with parkinsons!

You know what annoys the hell out of me? Limited slip four wheel drive. I got stuck bigger than dog doo doo the other night and only the two right tires were spinning in four low. Might as well be called two low. Tires all balled up and sunk. If i just had one tire spinning on the other side, I may have had a fighting chance.

My Death wobble . I've had the alignment done, (castor checked) but there is a harmonic that makes it get really bad esp when the tires are fully inflated. I assume it might have something to do with a bent rear linkage brace, but that won't get fixed for a while so I guess I better suck it up

i cant get it running....yet, otherwise, the windshield trim needs to be replaced, and the fact that the drivers side window can be pushed down and that damn window makes a ÅÅÅÅ load of noise anyways.

keith, do you have a moonroof wind deflector? if yes, try removing it and see if that is the culprit. if so, then check the seal and try filling in any gaps w/ clear sillycone

my problem is this sound that comes from my engine bay when i am in the 2600-2800 rpm range. it sounds like "sheeeeeesssssh", almost like air coming out of a tire. its only when i give it a little gas on the freeway and hit that rpm range. it only happens on load, so i know at least its related to the exhaust, not intake side. perhaps a leak in a gasket? whatever it is, it makes long distance highway drives mildly annoying

I may not have a runner or truck of this vintage, but I couldnt help but add that my brakes just dont work right. You hit the brakes hard and it pulls and locks on the passenger front of my T100. I finally gave up with my mechanic, yota hadnt a clue and wanted to replace the rotors and I am gonna work on it myself this weekend.

how old is your t-100?? It could be the rubber lines to the caliper very common in older cars and trucks
