    What did you do with your 4runner today?

    Removed the last of the rust from my frame which was in the spare tire area. Sprayed on a rust reformer and then painting over it tomorrow after it cures. Also bypassed my TPMS light by taping the wires under my glove box. No more annoying light! Bilstein shocks, TRQ UCA's, LCA's and Tie rods...

    Can 5th gen wheels work on my 4th gen 4 runner

    It'll fit exactly the same as your stock set up, same dimensions. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Coolant system issues

    Before you start losing your mind over the dreaded HG leak fiasco, try to see if you have air in the system, it could cause overheating issues. Not sure on the process of burping a 4runner but I know on my Nissan Frontier it was as easy as opening the radiator and reservoir caps, parking up on...

    Highlander?

    I looked it up a bit and it seems like as far as it goes they just have mild 1-2" lifts like what is popular on the Crosstrek. Not gonna lie, that's a mean looking Rav4. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Highlander?

    Hey guys, I'm new to the Toyota scene in general and I have an 06 SR5 V8. I was just in the new members section on this forum where someone is selling a mid-2000's Highlander. I'm not interested but just out of curiosity, do people turn them into nice "rigs" too? Or are they nothing but another...

    Finally found a V8

    Hey! Sorry to revive an "old thread", how's the gas mileage with steelies? I'm averaging about 17.2 MPG with my stock 06 V8. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Urgent: help with tires and trd pro rims !

    Yeah, they should be fine. Is the mechanic going to mount them? Why is it urgent? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Stuck! Can't get alternator back in.

    Install it from the top and give it a few love taps with a hammer? I'm not familiar with the alternator but I am a helicopter mechanic and that's what I'd consider doing if I ran into an issue like that. Looks like the lip on the left would allow the lip on the right to give a little and slide...

    What did everyone pay for their 4th gen?

    2006 SR5 V8 with 160k; paid the Washington state toyota tax with a whopping total of $15k. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Power Steering Whine

    Fairly certain that's probably the case, I've bled the system 9 times now and the last two times had no bubbles; so I'm confident that it is bled properly now. Considering my main goal was to clean the reservoir and relatively a lot of black gunk came out, there's probably a bunch hanging out...

    Skid Plate Bolt Replacement

    Got it at home depot guys, thanks. For future reference for anyone who looks this up, the M8x1.25x25mm fits perfect. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Skid Plate Bolt Replacement

    Thanks! The threads are fine, not sure how they managed to lose the bolt. Luckily all my other bolts came out easy a month ago when I did my oil change. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Skid Plate Bolt Replacement

    Hey guys, I'm sure this has been posted on the forum but Tapatalk search doesn't seem to do me much justice. I'm missing a bolt on the front of my front skid plate on my 2006 V8 and sometimes my skid will vibrate and make funky sounds, does anyone have the part number or specs for the bolts...

    Power Steering Whine

    Yeah, I don't think any issues will come of it other than it someday going out. I'm not worried; I'm sure the pump has plenty of life left. It's low on the list of priorities for me. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk
