Had the dealer perform a radiator flush and transmission fluid exchange. My truck is at 145k miles. My truck was well maintained by the previous owner but I never got a chance to look at the transmission fluid before I sold my house and moved into an apartment. Sucks not being able to do as...

Replaced the stop lamp switch assembly on my 4runner. Took all of 30 seconds with no tools being needed. It addressed the issue with my ABS/VSC/Trac lights randomly coming on.

Replaced my gas cap in the hopes that it will address my VSC/Trac/ABS flashing lights.

Do you mind going into more detail around adding the washers to your skid plates? I notice a metallic rattle when I am accelerating at lower speeds which I assume are my skid plates. Was planning on sliding under the truck to tighten them all up but may as well do your washer trick when I am...

I have had mine go on and off for the last couple of weeks. I'm curious to see what the resolution will be for the original poster. I haven't gotten around to having someone run the codes to see what it is but I was thinking of just starting with replacing the gas cap, which I was planning on...

Do you get a good co-witness with the Halosun on your scorpion carbine? Also is that the factory low mount that came with your Halosun or a 3rd party mount?

Installed a Fumoto valve on my 4Runner. For those of you wondering if the F103N valve sticks out from the opening in the factory skid plate, it does not. Looking forward to even easier no mess oil changes going forward. My only word of caution is that the Fumoto valve is made from soft...

I'm very happy with my Old Man Emu shocks/struts/springs. My 4Runner handles and rides so much better compared to the old worn out factory setup it came with when I bought it used.

A little late for this update, but had the front CV axles replaced a week ago after they started leaking from my OME lift. Just a heads up to those who have a lift installed, keep an eye on your CV boots for any leakage. Mine started leaking less than 100 miles after the lift was installed.

Got an Old Man Emu suspension and trim packer (shocks/struts/springs) installed on Monday. I bought my 4Runner with 132K miles on it and the original suspension was completely worn out. I didn't get to do much driving yesterday as the install and alignment took all day but driving on the way...

Went ahead and replaced my stereo with a Scion unit. Very happy with the results.

My stereo was delivered today and the last of the cables came in yesterday. I went ahead and installed my stereo. It was pretty straightforward. First time through I plugged the mic in the wrong spot but once I got that taken care of it was really easy. I'm always impressed with how simple it...

Decided to clean up the headlights. 400 grit/800 grit/2000 grit sandpaper with a coat of Rustoleum UV resistant/non-yellowing clear coat. Curious to see how long it lasts. Before: After:

Ordered all of the parts listed in the original post along with the PT546-00160 Scion head unit off of an iM. I'm hoping everything shows up before Thanksgiving so I can get it all installed and going. All of my music is pretty much in MP3 format and listening to the radio got old. I did have...

Replaced the plugs on the 4Runner. I bought it at 132k miles and wasn't sure when the plugs had been replaced. Used OEM Denso's and the plugs I pulled were also OEM Denso's. I checked the gaps on the ones I pulled and they ranged from .53 - .60. Old plugs looked clean with no indications of...
