Glad know one was hurt. These things are amazing. Wife was rear ended by F150 hauling a trailer. Totaled the Ford, $3k damage to the runner but mainly cosmetic hatch and bumper. Drive a Jeep first. You will go back to Toyota. A few of my camping buddies bought new ones, 2 and 4 doors. Even...

Thanks for the help everyone. I will probably go with the CVJ. Not much more than the expensive Cardone, and seem a lot better. I am not sure if I need an upgraded boots or not. Front is spacer lifted 2.5. We do not do much OffRoading these days, but use 4wd a lot in the winter. I am...

Thanks a lot. I looked at the more expensive Cardones. Seems to have a little nicer boot, and clamp setup. Rock auto has them for about $150. We used to Camp and Mud more often, but she is mostly used for snow now. I just don't want to buy absolute crap.

Hello, I have spent half the day searching and reading threads. Wifes 4 runner has torn front CV boot on Driver side. Will probably replace both while I am at it since Truck just turned 125k. I am reading most aftermarket are crap. Are any decent besides CVJ? Like the Cardone? We don't do a...

I have 2007 SR5 4WD with 100k on her. FJ springs with stock 4Runner SR5 Tokicos. Looking to swap shocks and struts without spending a ton. Truck does not see much offroad, a little mud, lots of highway, mainly tows a boat and camps. I found a set of 2009 FJ Tokicos with 5k miles on them for...

Most things in moderation are good. I never tried pot until I was 19, and it was only now and then. Spent the next few years trying many things: Shrooms, Coke, Acid. 90% of the time it was due to alcohol that I tried them. I have bachelors degree, and am pursuing MBA with honors and still...

Great info. With my G8 I have to custom tune with headers, no cats or aftermarket cats. Is the 4 runner the same?

Ok I have searched, every thread seems to turn into flame war and personal attacks. I am not looking to drag race, just looking for an additional 20HP or so, a little more pep for towing, passing, and a little better MPG. If this cannot be achieved I am fine with that and better money spent...

I thought it was odd I could not find much information. I need to learn more about my ride. Thanks!

I have searched, most info seems to be for 3rd Gens. I have 07 SR5 4WD with 4.0 V6. Its just about to 98k and I figure it will need a timing belt. Where is best place to buy parts? I figure I should replace tensioner and Water pump at the same time. What brands of belts and pumps are good...

Ok my wife has 2007 SR5 4wd. The interior thermometer is acting up. At 60 degrees, A/C or heat its cool, but then one notch up at 65 its warm on A/C, and scorching on heater. Never even have to turn it above 70 anymore, and at 65 when its 35 outside its too much. Any ideas?
