    V6 vs v8 chassis question

    Hoping yall can help me put this to rest... Long story short, had sliders made from a reputable manufacturer for a 4th gen 4runner. At the time no motor was specified but I have a v8. I get the sliders and the mounting holes wouldn't align. Get on the phone with manufacturer and they say oops...

    Moon roof question

    It hasn't worked since I bought the thing and I just always wanted to fix it. Finally found some time and tackled it. Um technically yes you can assess the situation once the headliners off but it's easier to work on once it's off and it's only held up by 8 bolts. If the cables or motor are...

    Moon roof question

    Haha thanks! Thats the exact same battery I used! Wish I could take credit lol but My boss came up with that idea. It was genius in theory but the application, not so much.

    Moon roof question

    A lot of people go that route but that was last resort for me, I wanted my moon roof lol Toyota wouldn't even touch it so they referred me to an upholstery shop and they quoted me 1300, even if I had removed everything so they could just swap out the assembly. Paid 160 for assembly out of a...

    Moon roof question

    I got mine off a wrecked car, just got back actually lol. Are you in bay area, ca? My idea to try it out with a 12v drill battery rigged with wires and terminals didn't work to test the moon roof. I think because the key needs to be in the "on" position. So if you can supply power to the car...

    Moon roof question

It broke because I completely took it out and apart, regreased and putting it back on the tracks is where it broke...Good news is I found a whole assembly for $180!. And I figured out how to test it since it's...

    FS rock sliders 4th gen 4runner (for v6 only) norCal $800

    Hello all I have brand new rock sliders for sell. And they're already painted for you! I went with rattle cans because I actually planned to use them and couldn't justify paying for powder coat. Reason I'm selling is because I had painted before I test fitted and the manufacturer wouldn't...

    Off road and fishing?

    They should. At least with people that know how to be responsible and mature about it. But I understand that's not the easiest to decipher who is what, especially these days. But letting people know about a certain trail that can potentially put you on some fish (with some googling and...
