    Greetings!

    I have owned and maintained 4 Toyota trucks in my life so far:
    - 1979 2WD Pickup with a Papoose camper on the back (gone)
    - 1984 2WD Pickup (same camper, gone as well)
    - 1991 V6 4Runner (Still own this one, the same age as my youngest son who drives it now)
    - 2005 V6 4Runner (Still own this one too, my wife's daily driver)

    I do all almost of the work on these vehicles the exception being the standard head gasket fix on the '91 that was done by the dealer under warranty.

    I came to this forum in search of the proper VSC Zero Point Calibration for the '05. I think I found it but haven't tried it yet. Up to now I have spent most of my Toyota time on the YotaTech forum but as the '05 gets older maybe I'll be here more!

    You may have noticed I didn't list my daily driver above. Sorry, it's not a Toyota. It was my good fortune to have picked up my dream car, a 1990 Porsche 964 Carrera 2 Coupe back in 2001 when they were relatively inexpensive. Now, like the 1991 4Runner I get a little nervous driving it, thinking about replacement value with all the crazy drivers around town!

    Welcome Jim!

    I have been working on a 91 2nd Gen for about 2 years now. It's almost ready to hit the road, and I have the same concern that you do - someone wiping it out!

    Hey Steelevo, The picture of your husky made me smile. I lost my 16 year old girl last year. Still miss her every day.
