    Safari Snorkel confirms snorkel for 4th-gen coming

    I thought about painting it with a bedliner paint to cover the holes. Im sure that would work. But not sure I feel like taking it off, painting it and put it back on for a small (maybe) improvement. I don't plan on crossing water that reaches the snorkel anyways, and if I did, I'm sure those...

    Safari Snorkel confirms snorkel for 4th-gen coming

    Just a buyer beware kind of post.. I have had my TMS (ebay) snorkel for about a year so far with zero issues. I seen a post on another forum talking about the TMS snorkel saying there was small pin holes along the molding edge (I noticed these when I first got my snorkel but didn't think it was...

    New exhaust mod option. Would like opinions...

    Mustang's do it all the time haha. But idk, I think it sounds great, his 4runner sure is fast tho! He has a few vids of it.

    Odometer reset itself to 0

    It happens to a few 4runners. Dont know why. I read that there is a company who will rebuild your cluster and put the miles back on it that it had, or you can buy a used one that matched your original miles. Really your only options from what I have seen.

    Trans Revving when shifting to 5th; ‘04 v8 with 115k miles

    Fluid level could be a little low I would guess. Start simple and cheap, change the fluid and make sure level is good. If it still does it then take it to a TRUSTED shop. It could be a solenoid or something sticking/going out and nothing major or expensive.

    They stop running when you stop caring for them.

    Should I have my transmission fluid changed/flushed?

    I paid $280 for the full change at my local Toyota dealer.

    Should I have my transmission fluid changed/flushed?

    I had mine flushed "exchanged" at the dealer about 1,000 miles ago. I have 160k miles on mine and this was the first transmission service it has had as far as I'm aware of. There is nothing wrong with having a full fluid exchange as long as the transmission pumps the old/new fluid and the...

    05 V8 Desert Runner build

    Those tires look awesome on it! But im surprised that the front springs didnt lift you more, or the rear just lifted more then what it says on toytecs site. Either way, looks great with the spacers now! I am waiting to get a daily driver also so I can keep mine as a weekend warrior. How many...

    Just Installed LED Rock Lights (Drive By Video)

    Looks good. If they were purple or blue or some weird color that is obviosuly not for offroading, then yes. But imo white/amber actually serves a purpose. But you could get some more to put on bottom of frame for offroading.

    Highest Mileage 4th Gen?

    I am still considering replacing everything that can go out and cause me to be stranded just for the peace of mind lol (starter, fuel pump, sensors, alternator ect) but not sure if that too excessive or not.

    Highest Mileage 4th Gen?

    05 V8 just hit 160k miles, obviously runs like new. Off topic some, but does making road trips worry you any with having higher mileage? I trust my 4runner, but having higher mileage and worrying something will go out away from home is something I'm always worried about. Anyone else?

    How much in repairs in too much? - Opinions Needed

    A $600 dollar coolant leak? Um, any info on where its "leaking"? Most leaks are from the water pump and that is included in the timing belt change. Timing belt isn't a repair, it's just apart of the maintenance of owning a timing belt engine. Have the dealer do it. CV axle? It's so easy grab...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Thanks man. I might have to just do this instead. I used a universal harness I bought from Amazon that plugged right into the factory harness and it fit great and all prongs lined up, but I still couldn't get it to work.
