I appreciate you offering to provide info on that DIY job! I’ve had one local shop do every bit of maintenance on my car, so I’ll just have them do it. Any specific brands you’d recommend?

Thanks again for your help. Really appreciate it!

OEM only on the parts. If you are having it done at anywhere besides the toyota dealership I would buy the OEM parts and bring it to them along with the lower ball joint torque numbers. This will ensure you get genuine OEM toyota parts and they have the correct fastener torque as there is a couple different torque values depending on the year. You'll need the following:
04005-02235 (x1) (both lower ball joints)
90171-A0005 (x2) (lower ball joint castle nut 112 ft/lb)
90119-10933 (x8) (lower ball joint to control arm bolts 37 ft/lb)
I recommend McGeorge toyota for parts Select Parts Category - 2002 Toyota 4Runner | Toyota Parts but you can also check camelback toyota, concinelli toyota, and partsouq as well.

Yes to all this @CJmixer99

You might also consider requesting they apply Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 (or equivalent) to the bolts and add witness marks with a paint pen.

The 510K Runner is amazing. Props to you man.

I have a 1994 22RE 4 x4 with 331K on it, bought in 2008 sitting dead for $1,200 with 158K on it. This one is a keeper.

Currently at 266k on a 2001 2WD LTD. Hoping to get it back on the road and push it to 300k

I’ve got about 160k on my 99 that I got from Florida back in June of last year. Picked it up with 137k miles. Still running strong. Hoping to pass up my 96 jeep with 278k, which I’m sure I’ll do

I currently have 384,000 exactly on my '97 SR5 AUTO. Routine maintenance and minor repairs only but the transmission finally went out!!

Time to do a trans and engine swap. She's been such a good girl!!

232400 miles 2002 SR5 RWD. Searching for shocks and struts to replace what I have on the 4R. I do the recommended maintenance and started doing it myself to save some $$$.
