    So how common are head gasket (v6) and transfer case problems with 4th gens?

    You might look for a 1 owner who has the records and can answer an open question like, "so how does the 4WD work in this vehicle?" If they don't volunteer the importance of utilizing it monthly you may have a transfer case issue in the making. If the vehicle meets all your criteria what you...

    Help me pick the color scheme on Clazzios

    I prefer the color combo in the 2nd pic, darker leather on the outside. The more compelling aspect of this it looks like the seat cover reduces the wing-effect on the seat-back. I'm thinking it just might make the seat more comfortable.

    Compiled: FJ Springs Lift Info for 4th gen

    So its been about 10 days since the suspension upgrade and I'm getting a consistent squeak from the rear when I'm off the gas traveling 30-45 mph. Its loud enough to be annoying in city driving. If I'm accelerating, braking, going over speed bumps etc, nothing. It seems to be occurring from...

    How does this sound?

    I recently picked up some 2013 FJ rear coils for $99 to the door from Ebay. I got 3/4" on the driver side and 1" on the passenger with a full tank of gas. They were a direct swap and a bit stouter than the 07-10 coils.

    FJ Coils and Shocks w 3" Trailmaster lift...thoughts

    Install completed and I put it up on the FJ Suspension thread. Ended up with the Trailmaster 3" lift and it worked out well. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/78803-compiled-fj-springs-lift-info-4th-gen-13.html#post1473921

    Compiled: FJ Springs Lift Info for 4th gen

    2003 Sport with XREAS with 111,000 miles Changed over to 2013 FJ Rear Coils and 2007 Front coils and FJ stock shocks both Front and Rear. The 07 FJ parts had 2,000 miles of use. The fronts came with a 3" Trailmaster lift. I was not going to use the 3" Trailmaster and hoped to just use a 1/2"...

    What would cause an inconsistent shake in the steering wheel???

    I get a very minor oscillation in the steering wheel that I most notice at highway speeds. A slight grip on the wheel and it goes away. A few miles of driving and it goes away. I can go several weeks without an issue. Happened today for the first time in awhile. I attribute it to a slight...

    FJ Coils and Shocks w 3" Trailmaster lift...thoughts

    I picked up a set of rear coils from a 2013 dealer take off and now ready for the install. I'm 3/4 inch from level before the install as measured from the running boards. Option A: Keep the thinner Trailmaster in the front and that might get me fairly close to level. I've read the 2013 rear...

    Sunroof glass shattered while driving

    I once had my driver door window implode on an Infinity I was driving. I was in Charleston SC driving over one of the bridges, right at the top in the left lane. Like another post I thought it had been shot-out. It was an instantaneous implosion. Freaked me out and I was covered in glass...

    FJ Coils and Shocks w 3" Trailmaster lift...thoughts

    No rear springs. Price as pictured is $70 and about an hr's drive. They come off an 07 FJ bought new by the owner. Presumably they have been sitting in a box for 6yrs.

    FJ Coils and Shocks w 3" Trailmaster lift...thoughts

    Below is a purchase option. They were removed with only 2,000 miles on them supposedly. Will I be able to remove the 3" lift? Any possibility of mods when the Trailmaster's were installed? I've got an 03 Sport 4WD.

    Removing hood blems via hand polishing

    The blems are etching into the clear coat from bird bombs. It was suggested to me that a general rule is if you hit trouble spots x2 with Ultimate Compound and they don't budge you may have clear coat damage and continuing could only make things worse. Its probably a good thing I did not have...
