SOLD These were purchased a few years ago, and I ended up selling the truck before I got them installed. The package was never opened. RAD Rubber Design 4Runner Engine Splash Guards (4th Gen). Fits Toyota 4Runners made from 2003 to 2009, without a body lift (suspension lifts OK). Heavy Duty...

Sold. These end links were purchased new from MStudt, They will fit 4th and 5th gen 4runner, FJCruiser or GX. Please see Mike's description page. I sold the truck before I got them installed and they've been resting in a dry place for a couple of years.

Does your 4runner have a suspension lift? That frequently causes the ABS wiring to get stretched beyond the level that it can handle and it knocks out ABS and VSC. If you have a short in your ABS wiring, would that*give you a error code?*

I have an '03 V8 4x4 Sport. I had the oroiginal XREAS with 192k, and may have had some sag from the original stock height. I have driven about 1000 miles since installing my 6112s. I was aiming for a 3/2 lift. I purchased them from Amazon and got the first gen version with the 5 rings. I put...

I just had my 2003 XREAS changed at 192k. It had a lot of tilt forward on braking and big bumps at 40 mph felt pretty hard. Replaced front with Bilstein 6112 set 2nd from the top and Specialty Products Upper Control Arms. Rears got Bilstein 5100/Toytec Superflex. Also replaced endlink bushings...

The Sprinter is a fine vehicle. We strongly considered it as a delivery vehicle for my bakery the last time we bought a new one, so I am familiar with that option. It would make sense if breaking camp and driving someplace new nearly every night, but I want to park for a few weeks or months at a...

A few years down the line, I intend to retire, or perhaps semi-retire, and live a bit of a nomadic travel trailer lifestyle, until driving a rig is no longer safe. The setup I am thinking about: 1) Tow Vehicle: 4 wheel drive, V8 4runner. (Have one now but it is a high mileage 2003 sport, so...

I have a 2003 v8 4x4 sport with about 170K miles. Recently my truck started to slip as if on ice when accelerating from low speed, esp. when turning left or right and accelerating. Any idea what could be causing the slippage, followed by lurching forward?

I bought my 2003 V8 Sport 4x4 with 60k miles, and now it is up 157k. It has always been a pleasure to drive on the highway, tracking straight and true.

I use my 4runner to make deliveries when winter weather is too much for our cargo vans. We get 3-4 big storms per year, on average, but in 6 years I've never encountered a situation that required the CDL. I only lock it when I want to turn doughnuts in an empty parking lot. The CDL turns off...

Having driven from KS to Denver several times, and having lived in Eastern Montana an hour from nearest doctor and grocery store, I know the type of terrain being described here. In six years in Montana, we hit 3 deer and one fox, always at normal driving speeds. The deer did a lot of damage...

10 yrs and 155k with XREAS and I anticipate that it will need replacing in the next year or so.

I'm the second owner of a 2003 V8 Sport 4x4 4Runner. Now has 155k. Never been off road while I have had it. Still basically stock. Still a lot of life left in it. I use it to pull my wife's mobile food cart, and once in a while for deliveries at my bakery. We have a wholesale operation in...

What a coincidence. I also went from a 96 Integra GSR to a T4R in the past month. My GSR was getting some nice rust spots due to all the winter salt. I loved that GSR. It is like having two cars--it drives like a civic when driving slowly, and turns into a sports car when you push it near...

Thanks Looks like I have the 5k hitch. In that case, is there anything else where my manual may be incorrect?
