Glad I found this. A few days ago, 2500km from home and on vacation, my 07 4Runner started the same leak. Underside front left / driver’s. I’ve been underneath and can’t get a clear look since I can’t get the skid plate off easily. I’ve had my truck oil sprayed for years as I am in Canada. So -...

This is the correct deductive approach. I’m hoping I just forgot to tighten my gas cap as this happened before but will go have the codes checked to be certain. Thanks. G.

Hi. That’s the problem. The truck is coming up on 14 years old and every year I keep thinking I will sell it but it just keeps working so well. I also just sank a big chunk of cash into a full service with a fluids, a new caliper, new wheel bearing etc. I figure I now have to drive it another...

Hi Bossman, Thanks for the links. Oddly enough when I searched the 4th Gen forum for "muffler" or "exhaust" this did not pop up in the top of the list. I appreciate it. How is the Walker holding up to Ontario winters and salt? Grant

Hi. Here goes: I am still driving my 2007 4Runner LTD every day. 14 years after being released from the factory the horrors of Canadians winters and road salting have finally rotted out the muffler and tailpipe. I am a bit of an OEM fanatic and have had it serviced religiously at the local...

Hi I searched and read but my head is now spinning from all of the articles - several contradicting each other. I have a 2007 4R LTD. I ordered Moog FJ ‘07-09 springs. The springs never sat right on the perch. We slightly ground the spring to try to get it over the perch. It sat right for...

Same....looking for some feedback.

Hi. I always wanted a remote starter and said I would get one on my next vehicle. Then I noticed Toyota now offers a fancy, long distance remote starter for $1049 Canadian. Can anyone tell me why this is so expensive? I can't possibly fathom what makes the tech so expensive. A maxed out...

Thanks. And I guess I am a bit late on the reply. I am in Toronto. So, a 2 - 2.5 hour trip to the border. Not impossible. Ofcouse, now that it is 2015 and our dollar is crap, it does not look like such a good deal. Should not have waited.

Hi. I am in a very similar position. I would be removing a now leaking XREAS SET-up. I was looking at the Toytec BOSS kit offering the toytecs at all four corners. Is there an advantage going with Biltstein in the rear instead of the full Toytec kit?

I also wouldn't mind hearing some feedback on highway ride characteristics with the lift kit. That is, does the lift adversely affect highway driving such as increased wandering / tracking etc. thx.

In January 2012 I bought a 2007 T4R Limited for $22,000 Canadian. 100,000 km on the clock. It was in immaculate shape. It Still is.

Krown? FWIW, my last Tacoma was a 2000 from the St.Catharines area. It was treated by Krown from 2000 to 2007 by the P.O. I continued with Krown. The truck had no rust and the frame was immaculate. The dealer was surprised to see the condition as these were also the years when the frames were...
