    Replacing Re-circulation Actuator

    Just wanted to say thinks for this write up! I just did mine and it took about an hour. Three tips for people that I found helpful. 1.) the Icon stubby ratchet set with a phillips screwdriver bit was a godsend. Just low profile enough to get back there. 2.) Make sure you get those hex head...

    The report of my death was an exaggeration. :lol:

    MAF sensor woes

    Me? I posted this in the last message: So I'm not sure if I ended up posting the end result, but the downstream O2 sensor harness on the passenger side was melted from contacting the transmission. ToyDocs ended up fixing it for like $170 by wiring in a new sensor and hanging it higher with a...

    Removing ToyTec Top Plate Spacer

    Well no need to disassemble the shock. That spacer sits on top of the tophat, and that tophat is just a normal regular Monroe tophat. The bolts might need a trim but we'll see. Just in case anyone finds this in the future!

    Removing ToyTec Top Plate Spacer

    Yeah, a bit curious about that. Does it look like the tophat I have is specially designed to take that spacer? I just need to call Toytec. They haven't replied to my email in a couple weeks so I'll just go to the horse's mouth on it. Appreciate the input!

    Removing ToyTec Top Plate Spacer

    I'm about to install new LCA's on my 4th gen next week (went with the SuperPros) and I've been wanting to lower the truck a little from it's current 3+" lift. It's caused so many issues with tearing CV boots, inner tie rod/rack boots, and quite frankly I'm over it. My lift kit is OME...

    SuperPro LCA

    Thanks guys! I pulled the trigger on the offset Superpros! We'll see how it goes. Clunking is pretty bad right now and it's definitely the damn LCA bushings, and alignments have always been hell so hopefully this helps. I have JBA high caster UCAs too. Also, I got quotes from two of the local...

    Remanufactured CV Axles From Toyota

    Does anyone have the updated part number for the reman'd axles? 43430-600061-84 says discontinued everywhere now. Also, how are everyone's boots holding up? Still solid? I'm thinking of doing these instead of stupid CVJ's red silicone boots again.

    SuperPro LCA

    Alright, well back to my trusty T4R.org forums! I'm doing a front end refresh in a few months and I'm really torn on LCA choices. I've been doing the 4Runner DIY game for a long time now, and I know that OEM really is the way to go with most things. I can get OEM LCA's on Amayama for $654...

    '04 Blend door noise? Actuator or something else?

    Good questions. So, I turned off the fan so the noise could be better heard, so the fan isn't actually on in the video. When I turn off recirc no noise is made. Weird, right?

    '04 Blend door noise? Actuator or something else?

    So, I've been hearing this clicking noise when the recirc is on, but it stops when I open up the blend door. I got under there to check it out, and the actuator looks like it works since the door itself closes, but maybe it's on it's way out? Video here: Imgur: The magic of the Internet Not...

    MAF sensor woes

    Aw man, sucks to hear you're having this problem. So I'm not sure if I ended up posting the end result, but the downstream O2 sensor harness on the passenger side was melted from contacting the transmission. ToyDocs ended up fixing it for like $170 by wiring in a new sensor and hanging it higher...

    New Battery

    I'm a big fan of the Interstate ones. I had a Megatron in my old 3rd gen for freakin ever (7ish years?), so I went with the 27F from Costco too. Although, that being said, there was a 27F in there from the previous owner, and everrryyy time I'd take my truck somewhere to get an alignment and...

    How to make spare chipped keys

    Congrats! I'm glad this thread is staying alive with success stories every once in a while. It's pretty outrageous what they charge to do something so simple.

    Rav4 or Highlander?

    Well, she's my ex now, but she got the RAV4. I hope it strands her, but it's a Toyota so it probably won't. :lol:
