Visited the dealer for an oil change and bought some coolant for an upcoming coolant flush. Should be a fun project.

The engine actually reaches operating temperature normally and it has never gone past the halfway mark.

Wow! So much good knowledge on this forum! Thank you! I bought the vehicle this summer and it currently has 177,000 miles. It had one owner but not sure of it's maintenance record. Really appreciate the detailed instructions and advice that all of you have provided. I'm hoping I don't have to...

Forgot to update this thread. I went ahead and installed the eBay rear bumper. The previous damage had slightly misaligned the brackets on the truck. But after some pulling, everything lined up. I ended up just buying a 6 foot roll of black vinyl and wrapping it. Hard to tell the difference...

Now that it's finally getting cold here in Texas, I found that my heater does not function well. After about 15 minutes of driving, it will finally blow warm air. But still not as hot as it should be. A/C blows cold. I've attached a picture of my radiator which contains some deposits near the...

Thanks for all the feedback!! I should have the part in a few days and I'll give it a try next week. Does anyone have an idea what size the bolts are?

So I went ahead and ordered the rear bumper face plate (center part) that's bent on my 4Runner. How difficult is it to replace? Would y'all suggest doing it myself or taking it to a bodyshop to install? Also, are there any additional bolts or brackets that I would need? Here's how it looks...

Loving my wheels! I added some custom TRD stickers to cover up the Level 8 logo. Thanks for the ideas!

Can't get over the new projectors. Crazy to think over a decade separates these two and the 4Runner still looks awesome!

Thank you sir! Love the way it looks now.

Great thread! I just finished mine yesterday and could have used this haha. I melted the first housing and had to buy another set... Was much easier the second time around. However, I do have some glue showing after putting them back together. The headlights are much easier than the corner lights.

That's it! This video was helpful: https://youtu.be/PRP5Uxe-BkU

Thank you! The headlights were easy to pry open. I baked them at 240 degrees for 8 minutes, tried to open them, and then baked them again in 4 minute increments until they cracked open. Really simple since our headlights are rectangular. The corner lights are made out of plastic so you have to...

In for updates! I just finished my build using the parts in the budget retrofit thread. I got a different harness which was plug & play. Good luck!
