    Spare tire carrier assembly

    I just saw your message. Sorry, no. I sold it on eBay last year.

    How do I know it has KDSS?

    Google “carvana fraud” to learn more about how they operate. They lost their license to sell cars in Illinois twice in 2022 over fraudulent title/registration issues.

    [eBay] 2004 4Runner 17” wheels, spare tire carrier, JBL head unit - Illinois

    I have four eBay auctions right now for 2004 4Runner stuff that I’m trying to get rid of. My eBay username is kads111. Pick up location is in the northern Chicago suburbs (Glenview). All pick ups are to be completed after payment has cleared through eBay. Pick ups are not for looking at the...

    WTB: 4th gen OEM headlights

    Non-OEM headlights are about 1/3 the price of OEM. I had to replace just one, and I can’t see a difference between the OEM headlight and the aftermarket headlight. I bought it at a random online car parts store. As AuSeeker said, 03-05 and 06-09 are different.

    Floor Jack Recommendations?

    I bought a thick aluminum (?) cylindrical floor jack spacer. It’s about 3”-4” tall and goes in between the jack and the puck that touches the frame. I can’t remember where I bought it, but it wasn’t too expensive (<$50?). The extra 3”-4” comes in very handy. I’ve attached a pic of a similar...

    Best Modern Upgrades for 4th Gen

    That was the best mod I have done. It should have come that way from the factory.

    You need to stay grounded.

    V8 knocking

    It sounds like you need to do a zero point calibration. You can search how to do it here on the forum. It’s pretty straightforward.

    Any Mountain Bikers on Here?

    Now that this thread has been resurrected, I’ll play. I have a Marin 29er that I bought ~15 yrs ago. I have only ridden it on a hilly, but paved, bike trail. It has road tires on it right now. I also have four road bikes, the newest (2014) and nicest being a Pinarello Rokh. The other three...

    THAT'S what that button does!

    I’m so old, I remember it as a Space Shuttle Challenger explosion joke - What were the last words of Christa McAuliffe?

    Lifted 4runner with nagging drift.

    When you lifted your 4runner, you changed the geometry of the sway bars. The fixes for the front and rear are different and don’t require beefier sway bars. I bought a Toytec “front sway bar relocate kit” to lower my front sway bar, and put 3rd gen sway bar end links on the rear. I’m still...

    Replacing front speakers, tweeters too?

    Someone is selling a Scion T1819 on eBay for less than $50 shipped!

    Subwoofer location

    I would just do what you described. Or, you could just leave the tray up all the time and mount the sub under it. My tray is always up, and my two amps and two cd changers are under it. (My aftermarket sub is in the stock location, and I don’t need to utilize my cargo area very often.)

    VSC TRAC and VSC OFF lights on

    Do a search for “vsc/trac off lights” here on the forum. I had the same problem, and a zero point calibration fixed it. The relevant thread is from 11/2/14. Somehow, the vehicle loses the stored data that says it’s level.
