Hello all, I am performing a timing belt replacement on my 04 V8 4.7L Limited. I've done it before and had no issues, however this time I fear I screwed up. I set the belt to T on the crank and removed the old belt. I placed the new belt on and then advanced the right crank to make sure...

Hi all, I changed my timing belt today and don't know what happened to my oil cooler bracket bolt. Pretty sure I lost it the last time I did this time I noticed. I dont remember removing it when I disassembled and didn't find it with the rest of the bolts and such. Anyone know what I can use...

Hi all, I'm going to be putting the struts off a 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport in my 04 Limited V8. I know it's direct swap. I also have the rear shocks from the Tacoma and know I need to replace the bushing on those. My question is, do I need to replace the rear coil if if I replace the rear shock...

Hey all, I know people have posted about this but my account would not let me access questions on the specific post, so I have to create my own. I have a friend with 2019 Tacoma TRD Pro who removed the original front and rear struts and coils with only 500 miles on them. I have watched...

Is there a specific reason you went to FJ springs instead of just 4runner springs?

I'm assuming any 07 FJ spring would work off RockAuto? Also, what made you decide to replace the springs? What should I look for in mine?

Mind giving a link or telling what year FJ springs you used?

What do you mean by assemblies?

I have not taken it to the dealership cause I was trying to just do things myself. Since my mileage is so high I just assumed the suspension would need to be replaced anyway.

Hey all, I've got a 04 Limited V8 with 213k. It's been riding bouncier lately so I've been researching suspension replacement. I don't wish to raise the runner up and I am planning on upgrading my calipers and rotors to a Gen 5 since I'm having sticking issues. My runner has the X-REAS...

I have a 2004 V8 Limited with 186K miles. The other day the front passenger turn signal went out. So I replaced it as one does. I didn't think much of it but then it went out again a few days later. I replaced that bulb, looked at the old bulb and it seems fine. I've checked all the fuses and...

Hello all, So yesterday I replaced the water pump, timing belt, and belt drive on my 2004 V8 limited. Everything runs smoothly, no back fires or anything. However, now I have a check engine light on and the VSC trac and VSC off lights are on. I took my vehicle to Advanced Auto and they put the...

Any idea to get a blown out view of the engine? I am using the online Haynes manual but it only shows so much.

I think you're right! Thank you!

Hello all, I am changing my timing belt on an 04 V8 limited and have successfully gotten everything apart and the new water pump and belt on. However when i pulled pieces off this random part came off and I can't find it any diagram anywhere. I am using the Haynes manual online but I was also...
