Ok thanks. Simple enough.

Yeah I know people are ripping off the thin aluminum fender trim from their 4runners, but I'm going for the "old school" look and I want to install them. I acquired a set, but I don't know all the hardware necessary to install them. For example do I attach any clips to the fender, is adhesive...

Yeah I think I will go with the 4.88 being that I have the 4 cyl and I plan on moving up to 32 inch tires.

I calculated the RPM and if I'm correct using my values it was calculated to 2560. Does that RPM sound about right. Just making sure so I can make my decision based on correct numbers. This is with 4.88 gears.

Sorry forgot to mention that it's an automatic.

Trying to decide if I want to go with 4.56 or 4.88 gears. I have a 2000 4runner that is 4cyl with 3.91 gear. I'm currently running 31.6 inch tires. It's my daily driver and I plan to occasionally use it when going out into the desert and fire trails. It is my daily driver, but my job is only 15...

Wow great info! Thank you all for the information and advice. I didn't consider the bearings. Some more thinking to do.

I'm looking at getting my 2wd 4cy 2000 4runner regeared. Since it currently has 220,000 miles should I get the rear axle seals replaced at the same time?

I need help finding the part number for a clip that holds the wiring harness and pcv hose against the firewall. The guy at the dealership couldn't find an image with the part. I have a 2000 4runner 4cyl. I attached an image of the clip. If it helps the part number for the PVC hose that is...

How Long Do Timing Chains Last? I know this is an old thread, but is it true that the timing chain on 4cyl models should last the life of 4runner? I have a 2000 4cyl model with 215,000 miles and I was wondering if the timing chain needed to be replaced soon? Or did Toyota say life not...

Wow! Thank you for info. Sure it's easier to just go to the dealer and get the hose and not worry about making a mistake. But getting them at an auto part store does force one to learn what each hose does exactly and how all the parts of the engine work together.

I'm assuming I just ask for PCV hose? If so are all the hoses attached to the charcoal canister PCV hoses as well? Most are as hard as a rock.

Great thank you! The part number sent me to a nice diagram with all the hoses with their part numbers. Next question, since I'm already tinkering with the charcoal canister and being that the plastic canister is getting old and brittle after 22 years, should I just go ahead and replace it? I...

Need help finding OEM part number for a hose that connects from the throttle body to the charcoal canister. I don't know the name of the hose which is making it difficult to find the part. I know some of the parts are being discontinued. If this one is, what hose can I use as a replacement for...

Today I went to the dealership to get part numbers so I could order parts online for better price on body mount bushings. Shocked at price...over $400 if bought over the counter. If you look at the diagram of the bushings dealership said I needed, it seems that they didn't include bottom...
