    MODS: I cannot access most pages of a thread; "Forbidden" error in browser

    That's unfortunate, because the cost for the software is roughly $600 from what I can tell. Other than that you'd need someone to pull some backups, move some files, run the install, etc. I'm glossing over it but coming from my perspective as a former site administrator, it ain't hard.

    SR5 V6 2WD upstream O2 sensor replacement tips

    Note: this describes work I did on my 2004 SR5 V6 2WD. I just replaced these two sensors the other day and thought I'd point out some tips that helped me since everything I've googled seems to just cover the V8s. This is for the upstream sensors, or the ones closest to the cylinder heads and the...

    MODS: I cannot access most pages of a thread; "Forbidden" error in browser

    This is for the thread nested in 4th Gen TRs, titled "What did you do with your 4Runner today?". What did you do with your 4runner today? I tried to go here today and the link would take me to the first page, but when I try to go to the newest page to post something, I get a big Forbidden...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    I actually replaced it with one from a junkyard. Those covers look kinda hokey in person, IMO. And when I saw how they're installed with two-sided tape, that was a hard pass for me. I knew it was going to be harder to replace the whole dash, but the idea of looking at a plastic cover, hearing...

    Observations when doing a cracked dash replacement

    I got mine on eBay. There were some others on there that had the JBL system hole.

    Replaced sway bar links, swimming all over the place now

    I'd wager you incorrectly assembled the end links and or didn't tighten them nearly enough. I think it's highly unlikely one or more of your tires' performance suddenly went back in time to 1910 just because you took the wheels off. I just reread your post and just to be clear, did you only...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Finally got around to replacing my cracked dash. Why did I wait so long to do it? It looks SO GOOD in comparison to the old one. I also got the UV-blocking clear film on the windshield redone. I highly recommend it if you live anywhere that gets very hot during the summer.

    Observations when doing a cracked dash replacement

    I have an '04 SR5 that had a pretty badly cracked dash. I'd ordered up a replacement out of an '06 or '07 SR5 to replace it, fingers crossed that I wasn't going to have to do any airbag splicing or replace my guages, etc. Turns out the mounting bracketry (plastic) for the passenger-side airbag...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    I installed the trans skidplate/catalytic converter protection for '03-'09 4Runners from Talons Garage. Fits really well and it's beefy. If I had to nitpick I'd say they should've included some installation instructions and not just posted a guide online, and said guide could've been a touch...

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    I read about that. Unfortunately I picked mine up in 2019.

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    I ordered a replacement dash to replace my crappy cracked up one. My steering wheel is out getting wrapped in fresh leather too. It's gonna be snazzy in here when I'm done. FYI I don't think the material Toyota put on the steering wheels was actually leather, but just a fairly convincing...

    Early dashboard versus later compatibility

    Despite being well-used as you say, I'd still probably choose it over a 5 year old Hyundai or Kia any day of the week. These trucks are well worth investing in to keep on the road.

    Early dashboard versus later compatibility

    That's the info I was looking for AuSeeker, ty!

    Early dashboard versus later compatibility

    Part numbers appear to be unique. But as I've seen in the past, that doesn't necessarily mean the parts themselves are different. The different part number might be just because I'm comparing different year vehicles.

    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    I ordered some cat converter guard plates and removed the roof rack. I never use the thing and it cuts down on a bunch of wind noise at high speed :)
