It probably IS Valvoline, but that does not mean it has the same additive packages. I'm not saying it's a bad oil, but it is more than likely a cheaper additive package that offers less overall protection in interest of lower cost. Just saying, because some people get REALLY into the weeds with...

Wow, these look super cool. If I end up keeping my 4Runner these are going on. It's Nautical Blue too, so they'll match :rockon:

OP. It is in fact connected to the standard vehicle OBD port. The connector which is usually present under the dash is removed from the holder receptacle and plugged into the Apex GPS unit. The Apex GPS unit then has a copy OBD dongle that plugs into the original location. The OBD port you see...

Please contact me at the number listed in post if you have questions. Also, No, there was no body repair or painting...Hence the term PDR (Paintless Dent Repair). This thing had minor hail damage, it was all PDR. It was not a golf ball car salvage by any means. Minor dimpling came right out, I...

Well, after a short while with my 4Runner, it turns out that it's just a smaller version of my Land Cruiser 200. I hardly drive the thing, and would just like something more practical and better on fuel for the occasional trip to the store. I've got it listed on CarGurus, so I've attached the...

PLASTIC oil pans?! I was not aware they were doing that. I love my 4Runner because of it's rugged simplicity. I have a Chrysler Pacifica with the DVD screens, full moonroof, heated/ventilated power seats front and back, and the kitchen sink. It's really a wonderfully designed vehicle with world...

I'd be down for one. I like to do 5 wheel rotations, and that would allow me to replace the steel spare.

I posted this in another forum, and I figured I would share it here. I realize that I'm not the most subtle person, but I feel that this issue needs to be discussed. On an almost daily basis I am blinded at night by someone who "upgraded" their headlights in their car. This was a well recognized...

The amount of harnesses that guy sells will probably not cover the cost of the ridiculous "vendor fee." It makes sense to charge for established business advertisement, but some guy making harnesses in his free time? Get a life.

I would move out of the ****ing miserable shithole city of San Francisco before I sold the 4Runner. That's just me. Every time I have to cross the bridge into that godforsaken cesspool of human excrement and junkies wandering around, I start a timer to see I can break a record of leaving faster...

Radflo is great kit. They used to have a bad reputation for leaking a long time ago, but I think they've figured that out. I had their 2.5" IFP coil-overs on my LC200, and they were awesome. They turned the wallowing beast into a backroad/firetrail speed demon. The faster the truck went, the...

Sorry, I am a kook. My truck is basically stock looking, but debadged and super clean. I personally can't stand stickers and "hey look at me" modifications like giant roof baskets that the owner never uses. I was at DFW airport a few months back and saw a TRD PRO driver hit his roof basket on...

Just get a cheap bluetooth ODB plug and use an app with your iPhone. There are actually 2 Trans temp sensors. One for the Tq converter and one post cooler.

Disc brake caliper covers... sounds about right for a Pro model. Show not go.

My apologies, Toyota has very high Moly content, not magnesium. I misspoke, as I'm not really an expert, but I did read a lot on the subject. I'll look for some references and drop them here when I find them.
