If I removed and installed standard running boards, would i need to purchase any trim pieces?

There are videos on older 4Runners on YT, but I cannot seem to find one for the 5th gen. If you did it yourself, how long did it take? My cargo area is fine (no 3rd row). Just passenger area.

My 13' Limited has 320,000 with original XREAS system. A small leak is starting on one of the shocks. How much am I looking at, in general, to have the old system removed and new (regular) shock, struts, bushings spring etc? Handling seems a bit "loosy goosy' and some "clunky sounds" here and...

Can you see the retractable arms from the side?

Mine are a mess and I was able to FINALLY get both sides retracted (I had push quite a bit while opening and closing doors). I'm pulling the fuse. Anyway, has anyone actually removed the auto boards and if so how difficult was it?

I wire tied it, and it's as silent as a mouse now. Next time I take it in, I'll have them properly bolt it together. I'll be curious how long the plastic tie lasts before it melts

This thing rattles super loud. The passenger side does not have one. What size nut/bolt can I go get at a hardware store to tighten this thing back up?

How much did the tranny set you back? Was it new, rebuilt or used?

LOL without taping over the light on my dash

My 13 TPM's have gone bad. I do not plan on replacing them. My 13 does not break the pressures into 4 tires, just one light if any tire is low. I check my tires regularly anyway. I have 310,000 miles and not worried about replacing the monitors at this stage. How can I turn the tire warning...

I'm hoping to get to 400,000 miles. We will see

My 13 limited is around 288,000 miles and running strong. I do need to do some suspension work in the front. I know there are even higher milage 5th gens out there. Just curious how high. I do not plan on selling. Its super nice driving a paid off vehicle.

If the truck is in overall good running order, I would not sell or trade for another over a $4000 fix. Keep the oil full and wipe down the alternator area every week and it will run fine for a long time until you decide to fix. My 13 Limited just turned 285,000 miles and I need to put a few...

The 5th Gen OEM seat surfaces are still available new. I would have the upholster company order those. Car care Nut youtube shows how to do it yourself.......too much detail work for my ADD self :LOL

My 2013 Limited (Sand Beige interior) has close to 300k and the front drivers seat is in rough shape. The passenger seat not so bad. The rear seats look like new. For matching purposes, I'd like to have the both fronts reupholstered with OEM material. I'm not interested in Katzkin. What kind of...
