I assume you have already looked in the compartment in the left side of your trunk. It should be in there. It comes in three pieces that you assemble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How about just using your key FOB when you are inside the trunk? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I personally would stick with Toyota OEM brake parts and make sure the system is properly bled per the Toyota service procedures. It sounds like you have air in the brake lines somewhere which will cause a soft pedal. I have a 2006 with factory brake components and they perform perfectly...

I used Toyota OEM PARTS. The shocks are made by Tokico. I replaced the front springs with a set of FJ Cruiser springs. Did not replace rear springs. I purchased the parts online from a Toyota dealer at a very good price as I recall. Around $500 for everything excluding the FJ springs which I...

I replaced my shocks at 100,000 miles with Toyota OEM shocks along with all new hardware. The ride was slightly stiffer but in no way did my 4Runner feel mushy or unstable. Toyota engineers along with their computers designed the suspension so that it was safe and comfortable when used with...

I do know that improper back pressure in your exhaust system can cause power loss. I have experienced it on a Volvo I had where the pipes came loose on my exhaust system and I could barely back up my driveway. Once I hooked them back together it ran fine. A significant leak in your exhaust may...

No flap on my 2006. Have you accidentally over filled your tank? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I pulled a 5x8 Uhaul packed full of my son's furniture from Ann Arbor, MI to San Francisco using my son's 1996 Honda Odyssey with 200k plus miles on it. The key for me was to drive at a reasonable speed based on the conditions and use a lower gear as needed. The trip was over 2,600 miles and I...

I had my brand new (at the time) 1978 Datsun 280Z stolen after having it only three weeks. The insurance company claims adjuster recorded our conversation regarding the loss. He told me they would not settle my claim for 30 days. Within a week the car was found 60 miles away parked on a street...

Yes. They passed me on the freeway waving and smiling apparently happy to see a rare 2006 4Runner in Driftwood Pearl. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Call your insurance company. That is what insurance is for! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
