I went 10 years without a T4R and I’m so excited to be back in the club. Took a long time to find exactly what I wanted, these things are hard to find! 2008 Limited V8 4WD 266k 3” OME Lift with SPC UCAs 2020 Off Road Wheels Factory Nav Factory 3rd Row It was dealer maintained (with most of the...

Adding mine to this list... It was about 80 degrees this morning, I was going 75 down the interstate and it basically exploded. (rear defrost was off) There were no large pieces left in the window frame, it looks like the window is completely rolled down. Any facts as to what is causing this?

After smelling diff fluid today, I climbed up and noticed that I have developed a leak on my passenger rear side. My first issue in 170k so I guess I can't complain. Does anyone know of a step by step guide to replace it? I have searched around and it seems kind of rare with the 4th gens. I...

I have noticed over the past couple of weeks my driver and passenger floorboards heat up really quick, even after short drives. I drove about 10 miles tonight, climbed under my car and the cats were extremely hot. Is this normal? Anyone had a similar issue? No codes have been thrown.

I have had Duratracs for around 15,000 miles and love them. Road noise is minimal until 85 mph, look great, and grip even better. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/99885604@N03/12679611123" title="Untitled by Adam Hobson, on Flickr"><img...

I paid 75 shipped. They were from an 07 FJ with 100k miles. Highly recommend this upgrade.

If the beep hasn't been disabled, it may be that you have a bad door lock actuator. When enabled, the single beep lets you know that all of the doors are locked. When it doesn't beep, check to make sure all your doors are locked.

I have a 07 with the Nav and I never actually use it for navigation. Google Maps is so much faster/more reliable IMO. I do, however, use the Nav for street reference i.e. to see when a road I need to turn on is coming up. Bottom line, it looks way better on the dash than the standard issue radio.

I recently got my oil changed at a Toyota Dealership and asked them to change the trans fluid and I was told "we don't do that, thats asking for transmission failure." Is this normal? I have read on here that most people change it at 100,000 mile intervals. 07 Sport V8 4WD 130,000 miles. Opinions?

Sorry, I have been backed up with work for the past couple of days. Here are a couple better pics for you. Huge should out to gaterose for installing my suspension. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/99885604@N03/12679483375/" title="Untitled by adamhobson1, on Flickr"><img...

I live in Hueytown, we got around 4.5 inches. It was a lot of fun, I just hate it melted so fast! I have always wanted to go play in the snow with my T4R but this was the first chance I had!

Loved the way my 4Runner performed tonight in the snow. It really made me love my Duratracs even more! Had to winch and pull out several guys who thought their rigs were up for the task. (For those guys up North, 5 inches of snow is huge in Alabama.) Please overlook my low quality iPhone pics...

It seems as though mine have dry rotted and I really want to replace them. Does anyone have a part number or any suggestions as to where I may get some?

Thanks ebg18t! Look forward to the update! I have been wanting one for a couple months!

Bud Built told me that they weren't available yet. I gave them my email address and they were supposed to email me when it was available. This was around a month ago...
