Excuse the new 5G owner, I have a new/used 2024 TRD ORP and have always done my own oil changes on my previous 4G. What is the issue with bolt stripping. If I removed and properly torque the skid plate, what's the issue. I have not done my first change yet. Should I replace the bolts with...

I purchase a used FOB with a new blank door key on eBay that has the same FCC number as mine. When I spoke to a local locksmith who has the equipment to program them, he told me a fob previously programmed to another vehicle cannot be re-programmed to another. Can anyone verify to dispute...

Just took delivery of slightly used TRD ORP and shocked to learn it has manual headlights, type A in the manual. There is OFF, Side-marker, DRL, and ON. All my other vehicles have had auto headlights. So I need to start, move the selector to DRL for daytime, then to ON for night, then...

Just picked up my new (used) 2024 TRD ORP. Would like another FOB, see them online for about $80 (2021-2024 Toyota 4Runner OEM Key Fob HYQ14FLA) Is this a good deal and how do I get it programmed. I assume there are better options than dealer. Thanks,

Thanks, I’ll reach out.

The only thing I buy extended warranty’s for are cars. I have what might be the most reliable 4R ever, the 2004 4.3L V6 but there were a few major issues including the drive shaft issue that the ext warranty paid off. Anyway, not debating, just looking for info.

Folks, I am moving from my 08 4th gen to a 2024 used TRD Pro. Back in the day, I purchase a genuine Toyota extended warranty from an online dealer at a great discount from my local dealer who only sells at full price. Are there still such dealers who sell discounted genuine Toyota extended...

I believe the iridium plugs are 100K mile plugs. I changed mine at 100K, now at 170K on second set. MPG still same as always, about 20 highway.

Well mine is an ‘08 Limited.

That's all well and good but I do not have a Haweka adapter like the tire shops do to make sure the wheel is properly aligned. Just torquing down is not assurance that the wheel is perfectly centered on lug centric wheels. Being off by even a mm will cause vibration. These metal rings also...

My 2008 Limited came with factory lug centric wheels, which I guess is unusual to start with. Wanting to rotate my own tires, can someone identify the correct size ID/OD of hub adapter rings, or alternatively an adapter they use? I dont really trust just torquing down the conical bolts...

I have a 2008 4R 6cyl with 150K miles. I have changed conventional oil and Toyota OEM filters myself every 5K miles. Now conventional 5W30 is almost impossible to find and I am on my first change with synthetic 5W30, always Pennzoil. Figuring/hoping to extend to 7500.

I have the Toyota Service Bulletin on how to register a transponder key to my 2008 4R and have done it successfully a few times. The bulletin states that there is a limit to the number of keys allowed. Does anyone know that number? And if so, how do you "erase" an old one. My main key is...

My 2008 4R TPMS has been working fine since day 1. After about 10 years the batteries started to die and had all 4 replaced. My new stereo (Kenwood DDX6906S) has a procedure to match the individual tires up to a display of the vehicle so I know which tire is low. Seems to trigger at about...

I am considering these. It is difficult to find 18" rims, 7.5 or 8" width, +15 to +20mm offset, 139.7, 6 lug 137.7 bolt pattern. Most wheel websites don't know the 08 Limited has 18" tires. Anyone know about KMC quality?
