Do you have a part number for this kit?

Yeah I probably could have disconnected the drive shaft, but I just didn't feel it was necessary. Plus you open up a whole new can of worms if one of those bolts is rusted or breaks off as well. In the end it's the principle, I already took off the skid plate and the gas tank straps. I shouldn't...

My bolt was at a 45 angle and it was just terrible. Impossible to get a socket on behind the driveshaft. I honestly think that some of the 4Runners have a slightly different angle on that bolt. I ended up grinding the **** out of that thing with a Dremel. I then drilled a hole straight up and...

Reviving thread. Gotta say that bolt by the driveshaft up front was a beotch. I spent over an hour on it. Heavily rusted. Cant use a socket as its too close to the drive shaft. I was able to get it 3/4 of the way of with a ratcheting wrench but then it got rounded off. Finally said **** it and...

I ended up using the smaller cans from Walmart because they were cheaper. I followed ChrisFix's video and it went smoothly. The rule of the old one went well except for two rusted out bolts that broke off at the head. Added 1 and 1 1/2 ounces of pag46 oil and 1/4 oz dye. I bought the Denso...

Good info here gentlemen. Question for you... After Ive changed my condenser, put on a full vacuum to empty, could you not just use a 22 ounce can from the store that has the low side connections? My system (07) takes approx 22 ounces. Like this one for example...

Im late to the party, but if anyone has done this... a few questions. 1. Did you have the system drained before removing this? 2. Did you replace the seals/rings? 3. Which brand did you buy, Denso? 4. Did it help after the freon refill? I have a pretty clear leak and seeing it light up...

Quick note to all. This is where you want to buy the best wheel bearing/ hub assemblies. Wheel Bearings & Hubs Press Service *** 4x4 *** PreRunner *** NSK*** | Tacoma World He uses NSK & Koyo bearings and warranties his work. I put mine in the Taco last summer and have been impressed. Dont buy...

Quick note to all that you can buy these 5 for $3.09 at Lowe's. Stainless steel. 8mm x 1.25x 20mm. Save time and money vs going to the dealer, and get better bolts. I threw some in the skid plate after having a bolt ground down and it holds solid. I know I will have to tap them next time I take...

Glad Im not the only one with this issue. I was thinking about trying to pull it off and clean under there, but after reading above, doesnt sound like thats the issue. Guess Ill be looking for a new stereo.

Any update on mileage. With Tundras hitting the 1million mile mark, would love to see a 4runner with the 1GRFE do so as well.

Read this thread. It talks about the dealer compression test and how a common radiator pressure test misses HG failure. Coolant Reservoir Bubbling and Filling Up. | Tacoma World/ Dealer does a near 100 psi 24 hour test. Testing at combustion pressure. Which is why I said dealer. That said...

Caution While I like the idea you should definitely drop your pan and clean your magnets. It takes time but is the right way to do it. There are several posts and people damaging their transmission doing a flush without dropping the pan and cleaning and magnets on Tacomaworld.com When I...

thewaydown. Look very closely at the drivers side lower edge of the radiator, near the petcock. Mine had a very slow leak there. You can see the drips. I posted about it here recently.

Pretty impressive and intensive. You've got to have passion and skills to get this far on this project. Congrats!
