1) Cracked sunroof and motor don't work
2) All 4 power window switch going to die soon
3) Aircond blower left only two speed steps, very slow and very fast
4) Gosh the 4wd switch motor (the one fixed to the transfercase) most of the time did not working thus failed to either engage or disengage. What is the exact name of this motor and can it be serviced?
5) I'm running low on cash

'95.5 Tacoma issues:
1) Front windshield took a rock hit wiper high on passenger side that instantly became a 8" vertical crack.
2) Tires need replacing before snow season this year. GY Wrangler Duratrac's may go on.

DD '09 Corolla:
1) Tires getting replaced today. Right side is at tread bars after 39k miles on original tires.

O/D Cable/Button Not working!

I disassemble my center console to check the Shift Lock Control Switch which is working but I accidentally pull the wire harness that links with the O/D button! I'm trying to get a replacement but I don't know the part number to it! Any body has any idea which is the part number? Also having problems with the center console assembly few pieces are broken too... By the way its a 91' Toyota 4runner V6 3.0L Any help or pointers would really appreciated! Thx

Maybe it was never there. When did you notice it last intact? Take a pic. Square DS are DIY made.....

Huge problem

Coming home from a long hot day at work I drive upon this scenario in the driveway. I would say this constitutes as a bad day. The guy tells me he was in 4wd low and just cruising at 5 miles an hour. He then tells me the trucked lifted and slammed down. After walking behind the truck I can tell this was a lie. He had to be travelling at least 20 to possibly 30 miles an hour. I wish I took pictures of the marks. About 45 yards back, I can tell where the ball joint broke and the 4Runner took a dive because there was CV juice on the ground and a chunk of the hard packed gravel missing. From there it lifted back in the air and slammed down to where you see it now. [/URL]
The guy was apparently smashed because all I smelled was alcohol. He talked a lot of stearpie but he gave me the feeling like he was trying to not get in trouble. Here is a beautiful close up of his handy work!

10,000 Miles and nothing broken except for the guys heart in line behind me to buy it. Was only on the showroom floor about an hour before I signed on the dotted line.

Oh the list...
Seats need to be fully installed(one needs the slider fixed.)
Back seat needs to be installed(fabrication work is going to be required.)
throttle linkage sucks and needs to be reworked.
drivers side wing window lock is missing
No interior lights work
Fog lights don't work
Both bumpers are trashed
Needs a fan clutch
also a radiator
temp sender? sensor? not sure which or where to put it.
transmission and transfer case boots.
All four marker lights
needs a new windshield.
The wiper blade arms need new "J" hooks. (mine are just gone?)
Needs a mud flap but all four are mis matched so really needs four.
Basically the whole darn dash is messed up in one way or another.
center console is missing.
None of the ac equipment is still in the truck.
gas pedal needs replaced
And really although it seems to work a new wiring harness.
