Looking to replace both headlights. Both are beyond resurfacing...have tons of cracks and the hazing is awful. I have read thru so many post trying to figure what brand works best and doesn't leak :). A lot of the threads / post are pretty old. Are there any new products available that...

I didn’t ask. I had thought about picking it back up and taking it to Advance Auto so they could read the codes, but I have felt like total crap the past week and just didn’t want to have to deal with it anymore. Normally I like to try and figure these things out.

I went and picked it up this afternoon and took it to another shop that I trusted a little more. They stated the same thing (cat needed to be replaced). They indicated it was the bank 1 cat on passenger side. They said the AF and 02 sensors should be fine. $700. That’s crazy. It should be ready...

So I have roughly 192K on my 4runner and on the way home from work Friday the check engine light and a few other lights come on. Take it into local mechanic this morning and they call back stating the bank 1 converter is bad. Says it will be $750 to replace because its a CA compliant 4runner...

Its not terrible. The passenger side was pushed down a very small amount, but the body shop said they could adjust it so it was even like before. I didn't realize until looking at parts diagrams that the bumper was made up of multiple pieces. I just assumed it was once piece. The only part I...

Found a pretty good video on you tube. I just received my oem refurbished actuator today. Once it warms up some I will give it a try. Doesn't look to difficult. Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFnhpuFzfIE

lol...its all good. I have seen many threads take different directions from what they were intended. I think I have decided to stick with the oem bumper for now. Based on the damage I just have to replace the lower valance panel and a local body shop is going to buff the upper portion. One...

I now have a 3rd lock actuator that has failed in the past 6 months. I had purchased oem replacements at www.partznet.com for the driver & passenger back doors that failed within a couple of weeks of each other. I had a mechanic replace both. Now that my drivers side front door just failed...

Trying to decide if I want to replace my front bumper on my 99 Limited. Was in a minor accident today that damaged it. It can probably be repaired, but this may be a good time for replacement. What do you guys recommend? I have never been really fond on the "fat lip" style that's on it now...

I have the matte black level 8's on my 99 and the finish on these wheels just doesn't hold up. If you have time to rotate your own tires every time and don't do any wheeling you should be fine. I have had to invest in sharpies to keep them looking good.

Title says it all. Have looked at numerous threads over the last couple of days and need to make a decision on what tire / wheel combo to go with. I have seen some really cool setups that state they are running this size, but nothing on the extent of the lift or trimming. From what I...

Trying to help a relative with their 2011 4runner. Neither front or rear power accessory outlet is working. My first thought would be to check the fuse. Do the 2011's have an interior fuse panel? I opened up the fuse panel in the engine compartment and didn't notice a fuse marked for the...

Last night the passenger side headlight burned out so I went to replace it today. When removing the bulb I noticed the previous owner had used 9005 bulbs (high beam). I was under the assumption that a 9005 bulb wouldn't plug into the low beam plug / socket, but it was definitely there. Now I...

Nothing new for Christmas...but I did have a question. What type of mud flaps are those on the front? I have a 99' limited too and I removed the side steps and need some flaps for the front. I have a silver 99 with factory locker too..just recently upgraded wheels and tires to 17" level 8's...

I will check the wires tomorrow.
