I've got a 2006 Toyota 4runner Limited 4X4 with the V8 motor, and my mileage is currently at 60,000. At what mileage should I have my front and rear differential and transfer case fluids replaced? I drive a mix of city and highway miles, and I rarely take my 4runner off-road.

I've got a 2006 Toyota 4runner Limited 4X4 with the V8 motor. I went in for my 60,000 major service and the service technician is advising that I have my throttle body and fuel injectors cleaned, as well as have the brake system flushed. He says that the throttle body showed signs of being dirty...

NCSCOTT: Great info in your post - Thank you very much. Yes, I am 99% sure that Elmore Toyota was dishonest in saying that I needed new pads at 18,000, especially when you consider I did my first pads on my 2004 T4R at over 30,000 (and I never run pads down to the point where they grind the...

A quick update: The "gracious" service manager agreed to replace my pads and rotors, but he suggested that it would be the last time that my 4runner would qualify for brake related warranty repair - interesting how a dealership has the authority to rewrite a warranty contract that is between me...

Anyone know if the Toyota Interface Kit for iPod is compatible with an '06 T4R with the factory nav stereo? Hawk

Anyone out there have problems with warping rotors on 4th gen 4runners under normal driving conditions? I have a 2006 Toyota 4runner Limited V8 4X4 and I had my front brake pads replaced at the dealer at about 18,000 miles (I think that the rotors were turned as part of the job). By comparison...

I tried uploading last night. So far, I am only able to upload one contact at a time. And this is not the fault of the Toyota nav unit... the limitation is that I can only send one contact at a time from my Windoze Mobile phone (Sprint Mogul). My contacts are stored in the Mogul's mobile version...

Has anyone paired a Sprint Mogul (HTC 6800) with the bluetooth on a 2006 Toyota 4runner factory navigation stereo? I paired my Mogul to the stereo last night and I could hear a call, but the screen didn't switch to phone mode like it did when paired to my old Treo 700p. Also, has anyone been...

Tire Recommendation for 2006 T4R Limited 4X4 (265 60 R18) I need to replace my OEM Duelers after 25,000 miles. I am looking for a tire that wears better. On my former 04 T4R, I had a set a Revos and while they were decent tires, they produced a lot of road noise. Also, the Revos do not come in...

Jeremy, Thank you for the heads up. I'll put a CAI on my short list of things not to do. Maybe I'll save some money and do a K&N drop in... just because I have nothing better to mod, I guess :) I was just hoping to find a solution to the significant loss of power that I experience on hot days...

Can anyone tell me if there is a cold air intake available for the 2006 V8 4runner and if so, who makes it? If there are cold air intake(s) available for the 2006 V8 and if anyone has any experience with them, I would like to hear your thoughts. Thank you, Hawk

Thank you very much for the reply. I looked at that direct connect unit that you suggested. It looks as if you need to buy the adapter, plus the satellite tuner. I don't think it comes with the tuner. Either way, in the specifications it states that this new direct connect setup will display...

Recently, all of my brake warning lights came on while driving and stayed on. I pulled over, turned the car off, turned the car back on and since then, I have not seen the brake warning light. I took the car in to the dealership for a regular service and they say that the lights came on because...

I have an 06 4runner with the factory nav. A few months ago, I bought the factory Sirius nav tuner from the dealership and had it installed at one of their subcontractors. I believe I paid $300 for the tuner and $75 or so for the install. $375 is a pretty ridiculous amount to have to pay to...

Another Huntington Beach 4runner here. I am at Graham and Slater. Stock 06 Limited 4X4 V8. Thinking of doing a cold air intake. Anyone have anything to say for or against cold air intakes? Hawk
