My '08 Driftwood Pearl is getting really bad. Been outside most its life, but will be selling my Mustang to make room in garage. Any recent estimates on a new paint job out there? Whole 4Runner will need re-paint Driftwood Pearl.

Check the pinion bearing.

Just installed the WeatherTech floorliners in my recently purchased 2019 F250. Great fit as well as the floorliners I installed in my 2008 4Runner back in 2009. These floorliners will last life of the vehicle.

My 08' got hammered with hail 7 years ago. Hood, roof, doors. Insurance covered it and home damage, 18K total, 13K on home and 5K for the 4runner. Your comp policy will cover it no problem, should include rental car while 4Runner in body shop for a week.

Staying in AWD mode should be OK at those speeds, but 4WD could be down right dangerous. Gosh... going 60-70 mph on icy conditions is dangerous no matter what mode the drive train is in. Be safe please.

I've been using the Denso plugs for over 11 years now in my 2008 V6. No problems at all. Change them out every 50,000 miles.

Do you see a wet spot under engine area after running AC during humid days? You should. I think the AC evap coil drain tube spills out of the firewall on passenger side of engine compartment. Check if that tube is clogged. Careful to not damage evap coil. Or maybe dis-connected under dash?

Around here, I have to replace windshield every few years due mostly to pitting from all the ice slicer colorado uses. I just call my insurance company and they have Safelite swap out windshield in my driveway. Seems to good quality too.

Dunno.... I do not see how you could make a profit no matter you drive. Only a suggestion, maybe look into something with better wages/benefits and skill development. Keep positive and look around. Never know what's around the corner. NEVERMIND, Just realized this thread is wayyyyy old.

Just so happens we both have same year and mileage. I too need to replace the serpentine belt since it is also original. I notice some bearing noise just after starting for a minute. So I found a Gates kit on Rock Auto that will be installed when weather breaks. Kits includes belt and all three...

Here in CO, 85 is the regular grade with up to 10% ethanol. Been using it in my '08 V6 for 11 years with no issues, even towing and jumping over 13k mountain passed. I put high priority on quality fluids.

I had issue with '08 rear latch over 4 years ago, only in sub freezing temps. Simply soaked latch down with WD40, no problems since. i had to replace the rubber button cover 2 year ago. I hear excessive summer heat can ruin this button cover. Got replacement off Amazon for $12 and even came...
