The sunroof worked the last time i used it. I've never switched to 4lo, so that remains unknown. I would assume not. If it does, that's a plus for the buyer.

SOLD! 2006 4runner i bought in 2010 with 60-odd thousand miles. it's a silver ext, gray int unit. it is now at 128000. it's in good shape. no dents, v8 runs strong. no interior rips, no dash cracks and totally unmolested. it has new tires, fresh oil change and new k&n cabin and air filters...

that sounds nasty af. i used to live near a reservoir in MS and for a few days every year the mayfly mass suicide would leave my vehicles virtually coated on the front.

i set off a nuclear device in the 4runner. after the fallout settled, i found 2 hardy survivors. they met a crushing death. i have 1 more device in case a doomsday prepper beetle cell arises from the ashes.

Haha! thanks Trumpet.

I have a bug bomb but was thinking it might leave residue or smell on the interior leather, carpet.

Here's a strange one. I have an infestation of some kind of buggy beetle. How do I get rid of them? I left all the windows open for about 3-4 hours one nice afternoon 2 years ago. Apparently during this brief window, some of these tiny black beetle bugs took refuge in the 4runner. I...

unfortunately those are long gone.

i didn't mean frozen calipers in general but more specifically the same 2 pistons seizing on both calipers at roughly the same time.

A locked up left rear caliper and pulsing brakes prompted me to do a lil brake work on the ol 4Runner. How'd I know the caliper was locked? First was the smell when I got out of it one day after a 30 minute commute to work. When I got home that day, I put the infrared thermometer on it and it...

i bought my 06 limited v8 fulltime 4wd in 2010 with 68k miles. it now has a bit over 122k and i have never tried 4lo. if i try it and it doesn't lock into 4lo will it go back into 4hi?

i was told by my local dealer that the knock sensor harness is part of the engine harness and cannot be ordered separately.

would 1 person and a pressure bleeder work?

I've read a lot of conflicting methods to bleed the braking system. Is there a definitive guide posted somewhere for this? I've bled brakes on my muscle cars before but definitely not anything as recent as 06.

I agree, that's the best route. Bleeding the brakes sounds like a pain though.
