    WTB (DFW) OEM Exhaust for 4.7 V8 (2006 above)

    I am in the market for a oem exhaust for my 2006 V8 4Runner. I am located in the DFW area and willing to travel a few hours if needed. Also okay with paying for shipping if its not some crazy astronomical amount.

    Stereo/Head-unit upgrade ideas

    I believe it was a Metra Dash Kit. It was purchased alongside the stereo from Crutchfield. I recommend you reach out to Crutchfield to ensure the dashkit will work with your aftermarket stereo. Their customer service is typically quite helpful.

    Whats this leak?

    Took it to my local shop today and they said it was the rear main seal. Estimated repair cost of $1,400. fml Shop said to keep an eye on it to see how much is even leaking, so going to put off this one for a tad longer. Just spent $2k on 4runner last month for a brand new Power Steering Rack...

    Power Steering Gear Assembly : OEM, OEM Remanufactured, or Aftermarket (Cardone)?

    Leaning towards new OEM for that very reason. Its definitely within budget since I don't have any car payments. Still wanted to get some opinions and not be my usual self and rush into it.

    Power Steering Gear Assembly : OEM, OEM Remanufactured, or Aftermarket (Cardone)?

    The Toyota Reman is done by Toyota per my shop (they contacted Toyota directly to get pricing on new and Toyota also offered the remanufactured option). They offer the same warranty (1 year) on remanufactured as their new rack.

    Power Steering Gear Assembly : OEM, OEM Remanufactured, or Aftermarket (Cardone)?

    As the title says, the power steering gear assembly on my 2006 4runner V8 4WD is leaking and needs to be be replaced. Important side note: I have had my 4Runner for 14 years now (now has 171k miles). I have ZERO plans to ever sell it because its the best vehicle I have ever owned and it has...

    Help Pick New Wheels: Gold / Black / Graphite 17x9 Wheels -12offset or -38offset

    Thanks. The wheels are actually the black ones from my original options i had posted with a optional Rash Ring added on (it alters the look a bit). Yeah I was on the fence about offset and sizes as well. Initially thought of doing -38 offset, but that was going to require a lot of trimming and...

    Help Pick New Wheels: Gold / Black / Graphite 17x9 Wheels -12offset or -38offset

    Thanks. I am really loving the improved stance with the new setup. I am running Bilstein w/ Dobinson Springs (I think its about 3 inches up front & 2 in the back). Levels out the 4runner. Skinny tires definitely help with the rubbing issue. I initially was thinking of doing BMC, but decided...

    Help Pick New Wheels: Gold / Black / Graphite 17x9 Wheels -12offset or -38offset

    17x9 -12 offset w/ 285/70R17 BFGoodrich KO2s. Loving the stance with the -12 offset. Mods to make it fit: - Body Mount Relocation Kit - DRT Fabrication (could have gotten away with just doing a body mount chop, but decided to do relocation in case I want to go up to a bigger size tire in...

    Help Pick New Wheels: Gold / Black / Graphite 17x9 Wheels -12offset or -38offset

    As the title says, I am in process of finalizing some changes to the 4runner. I will be changing from my current setup of 17x8.5 0 offset w/ 26570r17 --> 17x9 w/ 28570r17 1) Trying to decide between two offsets the wheels 17x9 come in: -12 offset -38 offset 2) Trying to decide on which...

    New Broncos

    Possibly REPOs. We will start to see a lot more repos starting to happen in the coming months and dealer "market adjustment" will start to disappear. :banana:

    Stereo/Head-unit upgrade ideas

    sorry about the late reply. Mine was the same, just blank buttons on the right side. I was able to add the phone buttons on the right and it connects to the ones on the left side via a cable. You don't need a new wheel to add the buttons. I merely did it because mine was quite worn out.

    New TRD Style Grille

    There are quite a few vendors selling these grills now. Any vendor recommendation that has a good fitment of their grill for a 2006 4runner that doesn't require modifications to get them to fit?
