I need to replace the Master Brake Cylinder on 2004 4Runner. I have found one at a salvage yard for $350.00 My least favorite option. I can go the refurbished route or just buy a new one which is the best route. For those who have replaced these what route did you take? I feel I can do this...

I'm having a terrible time with aftermarket headlights but want to keep the black housing and OEM does not offer this. I am considering TEQ headlights. Does anyone have any experience with these headlights? Custom Retrofit Headlights / 4th Gen 4Runner / 06-09 – TEQ Customs LLC TIA

Are these the AKKONs? I just bought a set off Amazon. I think I'm going to reseal with silicon before I install them. If these are the AKKONs you have how are they holding up? How's the projector?

So this is what's confusing me. This is my drive shaft. It only has flanges that connects to the rear differential. The yoke or propeller that connects to the transmission spline is attached to the driveshaft by the u-joints. The driveshafts I am seeing has flanges on each end. It seems that...

I need to do both u-joints. Labor wise it's cheaper to do the completed drive shaft assembly than it is to replace the u-joints.

Oops. 2004 2WD V8. Yes that one you posted is correct. That's alot cheaper than what I've been finding. Thank you.

I have a bad u-joint. Seems cheaper to buy the entire assembly that replace the 2 u-joints labor wise. I've found what I need but wanted to see if anyone knows of a better source for a driveshaft assembly for price. Best I've found OEM is $325. TIA

Thank you Sir.

I have a 2004 V8 with 234k. Timing belt was changed at 90k. Should I be the Guinee pig to see how long I can go before it breaks? :hatsoff: Honestly this is something I need to get down. I have to replace the valve cover gaskets as they are leaking oil. Hoping it's only the valve covers and...

I am looking for info on ditch light mounts that allow for a flood and direct beam lights. Also what brand of light would you recommend? I've searched the forum but all the threads seem to be old. Looking for up to date installs. TIA

I just did this upgrade. What a difference in braking. The installation is straight forward. The Gen 5 rotors and calipers go right on. I have the parts lists in another thread. I purchased everything from Rock Auto. BPOWER STOP S2736 Performance Red Powder Coated; Includes: Caliper...

Thank you!! I havn't had to think about a star adjuster for decades :jump:

I need some reassurance. I don't want to run into any trouble withe aforementioned parking park issue. This is a Gen 5 setup. Ignore the slotted rotors, going with blanks. Am I on the right track? Thank you!! BPOWER STOP S2736 Performance Red Powder Coated; Includes: Caliper, Hardware, and...

I am wanting to do the Gen 5 upgrade. In this thread, there are a few comments regarding the parking brake getting snagged in the rear caliper. Did anyone experience anything negative with the brake upgrade? http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/248722-brake-upgrade-5th-gen.html Thanks.

Good to know. I think I'll go with the blanks. Also after reading a PM from a member I think I'll go with an '04 set up for the rear so the parking brake isn't a problem. I'll stay with a Gen 5 setup in the front. The biggest reason for going to a Gen 5 setup is because of the Gen 4 Caliper...
