The 99 Coils were new... I'm running the older 2450 / 2451 Bilstein combo. Happy to see those pics are still up and helping the community. -batsoff

sleepydad... Thank you! I will review. -batsoff

Sleepydad... Would you mind posting some additional details about this? I wasn't aware that new leather and foam were available via Toyota, but would very much like to investigate this option. -batsoff 2000 4Runner Highlander 5 Spd

Thanks J... Local parts desk also confirmed that only 1 retainer is needed... Thanks again for the assist, very much appreciated. -batsoff

firemanj92... Thanks! Please see the attached pics... is this correct? The retainer actually has the bolts welded on to it. I seem to remember that there were 2 retainers installed originally? One covered the bottom half, the other covered the top half? Does this seem correct? I...

Hello All... Getting ready to replace the exhaust on my 2000 4Runner... Does anyone have a picture (or details) of how the Exhaust Pipe Retainer is installed? PN: 18495-62010 Circled in red in the attached pic. I vaguely remember tearing the old retainer off years ago because it was...

Thanks 024rnrSport & A2toHgt... I was able to replace the stud and nut without much issue. I also picked up a few extra studs just in case I run in to similar issues when replacing exhaust.

Hello All... I'm getting ready to replace my exhaust on my 2000 4Runner Highlander (both cats, muffler, etc... ). I wanted to make sure I could get the 3 nuts that hold the 1st CAT to the manifold down pipe loose as they've been on the truck for years at this point. I was able to back out...

kennyb... I have the same thing going on... minor "vibration" or rumble noise at 60-70mph. I've been troubleshooting it for a while concentrating on the drive shaft / ujoints, but the noise is still there. I was thinking it may be wheel bearings... but if I take the DS out and drive...

I'm also fighting vibration issues. I just picked up a used driveshaft from carpart.com for $120. The used drive shaft has helped quite a bit, but my vibration/rumble is still there. I know this DS sat for ~10 years in the yard, I may try to replace the u-joints to see if that helps, they...

Fellas... check out Steve's site... Shackle Hangers They are a little pricey... but they look very well built. -batsoff

Negative Ghostrider... clutch replacement is just outside my reach in technical abilities. I think I could pull it off with an extra hand and a lift, but I didn't have the cajones to try it (even the "professionals" didn't get the RMS seated correctly the 1st time and had to re-do it). Cost...

Here's a similiar option... my understanding is that the AISIN / SECO clutches are an OEM replacement. I just replaced my stock clutch (130k) with this option and so far so good: AISIN Clutches at Trail Gear I know Wabfab also carries the same clutch: WabFab Clutches. ... and lastly...

The measurements differ for each side... they've always been a little off. Pretty sure the gas tank is less than a 1/4 full as well at the current moment. From ground to fender lip... Passenger Side: F - 35.5" R - 36.5" Driver Side: F - 36" R - 37" Not entirely sure I can answer your...

I'm running 99 tall coils in the front and 906s in the rear... The rear is about 1/2 inch higher than the front in my 2000 SR5. and another... The street slants towards the house, so you see a little more wheel gap in these pictures compared to level ground. No complaints about the...
