Sold my 4Runner last year, but found my old 3D model of the iPad dash I eventually built. My favorite thing I did to the 4th gen interior. Figured I'll upload it here in case someone ever wants inspiration for a similar build

If you still have the OEM housings, use the original vent caps

Gotcha. The 4x4 doesn't have that harmonic balancer, it was put on the V8 to eliminate vibrations with the length of the 4x2 driveshaft. Guys with the V8 4x4 upgrade to the GX470 driveshaft because of a similar problem, but I think that was more closely aligned with a clunk coming to a full stop.

Did the vibration start right after replacing the U-joints? Did you mark the alignment of the driveshaft and trans/transfer case before replacing them? Another thought if it's a V8 4x2, the driveshaft has a harmonic balancer pressed onto a rubber bushing, it can degrade far enough to cause vibration

I've had this for when i'm ready to cover my sub box, but haven't given it a try yet. The reviews look good though Amazon.com: ColorBond (1725) Toyota Lt Gray LVP Leather, Vinyl & Hard Plastic Refinisher Spray Paint - 12 oz. : Tools & Home Improvement

My solution was the EasyGuard EC002-T2 kit. The key fob is identical to the LandCruiser smart key

Yes it’s 2WD and I have about 9” lift. No Rubbing when daily driving. I tested the suspension flex and while tucking the 35s, it’ll contact the rear bumper before hitting the bump stop. When I go up to 37s, I’ll do some measuring and add a longer bump stop to prevent anything from getting...

Well it seems this is a tightly kept industry secret, or the search function and google have failed me completely. I have a 2003 V8 2WD on 35s with the stock gearing. I normally see 16.5mpg city and 14.5mpg highway. I really need help finding gearing for the rear diff. I'm only doing it now...

I've exhausted my testing and research efforts looking for a way to wire up my turn signals with a new alarm, and I'm hoping someone on here can give some guidance. I have 3 or 4 different wiring diagrams for a 4th gen, but so far I can't find this: My truck had the gulf states alarm system...

Funny, I logged in the other day looking for this old thread. I've been working on other areas of the truck, mostly exterior stuff. My local yard had a few 4Runners to pick over, so I grabbed the harnesses from a 2003 seat, as well as the seat belt buckles. I swapped the 2003 buckles onto the...

Need more pics! Looking at that tire/size right now

Certainly comes in handy, I’m so used to adjusting it now, I forget most cars put them on the dash. Using a touch screen while driving is sketchy as well, so having Siri open apps and find directions is a huge plus

Something i'm working on, decided to do an iPad mini without using a head unit. Still need to work on the bezel, but it's all functioning how I wanted. Replaced the door speakers with some 6x9 and 6.5 units, powered by a 4 channel amp. Mono amp for a 10" sub in the back. Everything is wired into...

You nailed it! I went to replace the idler pulley today and spun everything without the serp belt on. The fan bracket bearing sounded like it was gravel.

Yea, been reading through a lot of threads, and while I am mechanically inclined, i'd rather leave something like that to the professionals. Thanks for the advice! I'm going to just go ahead and have a shop do the timing belt and waterpump. I've spent more than I'd like to admit making this...
