Thanks all, I will get an alignment done - its been a while. I have LTX tires in good shape. I do have the XREAS system which I know some folks are replacing with OME or similar. The XREAS system does not look like it is leaking or showing lights that it is failing. Your thoughts? - replace...

My local mechanic could not see any evidence that the head gaskets were going to fail shortly. Mechanic thinks dealer wanted me to trade in on new vehicle so he could get my V8 4R as they are in high demand in used market. John

Found where the drain tube exits Found where the drain tube exits into the lower area inside the drivers side quarter panel behind the mud flap. That area behind the mudflap was packed full of little seeds and the drain tube got plugged. I had to remove the mudflap screws and clips and was...

I want to view moon roof drain tube. Was able to unclip the two outer clips, but can't unclip inner clip/edge by foot rest. Do not want to break clip. Do you push in, or out, or up, or down, or twist, or ? John

2006 4runner Sport Location of moon roof drain outlets - I can't find them. [W]here exactly do the two drain outlets exit the body? Pics? I need to clean the drains from the outlet up to the moon roof because my moon roof cable is stuck shut and I can't clean from the top drains down as you...

Wires taped to the headliner Thanks Parsky, I need to totally disconnect the headliner and remove it from vehicle. This will allow me to see if I can free up or replace the moon roof cables. Problem now is there is a small wire bundle that is taped to the headliner. Disconnecting at all...

Couldn't disconnect front of headliner I never got my moonroof fixed because the headliner had some wires on the drivers side that I could not disconnect. I may have to buy the track parts so I need to remove the headliner entirely. I'm getting ready to try this again. [Q] How do you...

My 2006 4R tracks on the highway like a brick. Hard to keep it in the lane. Looking to buy a Tacoma. [Q1] Any intel on if newer Tacoma quad cab 4WD tracks any better on hwy? [Q2] How about a quad cab with the long bed? John, Seattle

Thanks all. No visible leakage or other signs on HG looking from the top and sides. Am taking rig to local mechanic and we will put it on the hoist and give it a go through. Will let you know what we find on Jul 13.

Looking for a super bright LED dome light (over passengers seat) bulb for 2006 4R Warm color if possible. I found one, but it was cold white color and not powerful. Any links? Amazon? - John

Dealer says my head gasket is beginning to show signs of getting ready to give me leaking and trouble. 178K miles - engine has had no problems over its lifetime. Kept clean - oil clear. Nothing leaking on the driveway so far. I'll take it to another shop shortly and put it up on the rack and...

2006 4Runner - want to take my headliner out to fix the moonroof cables, but there is a mystery wire harness without a connector that I can see on the front drivers side going down the A column into neverland. Got the headliner where it freely moves, except I can't take the headliner out until...

I am thinking I can lube some things if I could get the glass to fully retract. Any ideas on how to do that? Do you think my cables are stuck?, or part of the track is stuck? I live in PNW, so things are not much rusted.

Yeah, I had to loosen the entire headliner so I could just get some free play around the moonroof assy. I didn't have remove the headliner, just make it loose. Still, had to unclip all the trim panels. A PITA, yes, but not too bad.

My 2006 4Runner moonroof is jammed. Motor works, but get loud gear skipping noise when try to open or close. I loosened the headliner and can get to inside bolts of the moonroof. I want to remove the whole moonroof assy and see if I can lube tracks outside of vehicle if I find a track...
