    2014 Driver’s Seat Popping, Creaking, Squeaking

    My 2011 4R limited also had this issue. As well as there being a loose piece of plastic or metal inside the steering wheel metal housing.

    If the 6th Gen was Built in Mexico…

    My 2011 5th gen had much better build quality than my 2016 4rd gen Tacoma MIM. The 4runner despite being 10+ years old, had less squeaks, rattles, and fit/finish problems than the 5 year old MIM Tacoma. Yeah, I rather have a MIJ 4Runner.

    Hello, I just wanted to say I appreciate Mike's responses and information available on this forum. It helped my in my decision to refresh my 2011 4Runner Limited 4WD with new suspension/wheels/tires. It completely transformed my 4R in terms of handling and comfort. No more brake nose diving...

    X-REAS leaking, should I fix it or not?

    Just replace with Dobinsons. I literally just did that this week on my 2011 Limited 4wd with XREAS. They removed the XREAS and installed Dobinsons 300 front coil 700 shock, 599 rear coil 705 shock. They were able to get the alignment all in green, very good and rides better than XREAS (soft, but...

    Magnetic Grey 4Runners! Lets see them!

    My 2011 nearing 150k miles. Was thinking about swapping for a newer one but it still drives and feels like new. I think I'm going to keep it for another 10 years. New (2" front/1" rear lift) 300/599 Dobinsons, alignment done (perfect all in green), Toyo Open Country AT III 265/70/17, MR150 17"...

    TE Parts Needed to Convert SR5/Limited Exterior

    I have a 2011 Limited stock. Keeping this thread saved just in case. But I may just plastidip/paint the chrome parts instead, and maybe swap in some TE smoke gray headlights.

    SR5 or TRD OR wheels for my 2011 Limited 4x4

    I want to swap out the tires/wheels on my 2011 Limited 4WD with either 17" SR5 or TRD OR wheels and also installing them with new Falken AT3W 265/70/17 tires. Is there any benefit or real differences between the two wheels besides look? SR5 wheels TRD OR wheels

    Undercarriage a little...oily?

    Good to hear. This nearly scared me into trading it for another vehicle. I think I'm going to just monitor it for now. It runs and drives perfectly fine and doesn't leave any oil on the ground at all. For the age and mileage, it drives better than most new cars I've test driven recently. I...

    Undercarriage a little...oily?

    Thank you. I'll have to get it checked out by a mechanic. I don't think it's too bad. I never had to add oil between oil changes. It doesn't leave a drop on the ground when parked.

    Undercarriage a little...oily?

    My 2011 4runner 135k miles Limited 4WD. 2nd owner, bought about 1 year ago. It's been bone dry where I live for the past 3 weeks. This is also garage kept and driven around 500 miles a month. Am I overthinking this or does this undercarriage seem too wet? Does it look like its leaking fluid...

    Recommend a good mechanic in DFW? Lewisville/Carrollton/Irving area.

    I live in an apartment at the moment in Lewisville and can't do as much work as I'd like on my 4Runner. (2011 4Runner Limited 4wd) I'd like to have a trusted local mechanic because Christian Brothers Automotive has been sketchy and overpriced despite good appearance, Toyota of Lewisville has...

    This is perfect. Thank you for posting this. I think you're the first person I've found in my extensive search for someone with 238 coils front, and 599 coils rear. Have any more pics with this setup? Great looking tire size too! What size are they? (you should probably add details in your...
