Nobody??

Do you guys have any recommendations on reputable toyota 4x4 shops in the Boise, Idaho area? Looking to get a lift installed and possibly to have a toyota pro look over my truck.

All the way in FL but live right next to an airport and would be a hell of a cool road trip back. Wouldn’t hesitate a second to drive it across the country. FS: 2007 4runner 4.0 V6 4x4 124k miles $15,500 Central, Florida

Anybody have any recommendations on replacing the wheel bearings? I called toyota and they quoted $467 each side, but said that it is the bearing already pressed into the hub that it would be a bolt off bolt on job? I thought the bearing and hub was bolted on the the axle housing but pressed...

Only in the front, its been over a year and no problems. I jacked the rear back up and really tried to see any play and nothing solid. But the drivers side wheel is sticking, If I put it in Drive and just let it idle it will spin for about 30 seconds then slowly slow down and stop. If I press...

Update in OP

Thanks For the replies, yea who ever designed that was not thinking. Was able to get it by filling little notches in the retaining clips then using twine to compress them while slipping the shoe on. Probably the biggest PITA I’ve had to do on this truck. Yea We had a pretty decent swell come...

I’ve had a clanking noise coming from the drivers rear wheel, asked on here about it and figured it was the something with the parking brake and shoes/springs. I ordered the E-brake components kit and started getting into it, and I did find one of the spring retainers for the left shoe broke...

Thanks Im going to look into it probably tomorrow.

Where are these for sale?

Just took a look under there didn’t take the tire off though. Not sure exactly what the e-brake pins are, but I didn’t see anything loose. Im thinking you meant I need to take the tire and rotor off then look at the pins?
