Not sure how to replace these two rusted breathers (see attached photo) Can't appear to unscrew them, they look cast in. Basically what made me find this was when I drove uphill for extended periods, i would smell a rubber like smell in the cabin. Couple days later found the oil leaking out...

I had the same issue. While changing the transfer case oil, I noticed oil slowly dripping out of rear diff. It was bad, big thick flakes of the diff were falling off. The leak itself was probably around the seams and/or pinholes. I think there are aftermarket parts (Toyota Pick Up Heavy...

For the car odor, there's these aerosol cans where you turn it on while you're A/C is on with recirculation is enabled. It's supposed to get into the actual air blower system incase there's any sort of build up there. Then maybe steam vacuum the upholstery.

Here's my PITA: https://imgur.com/a/0edJ1 :ak472: RUST It looks wet because I sprayed fluid film on it while I researched my plan to fix this rust. I'm getting rid of the running boards too. I have rusty chrome pieces too. Sorta stuck, can't get the rusted bolt off. Tried PB...

Almost there boys! I made a trip to Certifit down past seattle and got all chrome bumpers to replace my rusted out ones. On my way down, I was out of gas and stuck in rush hour traffic on the I5. I was freeking out! I finally got off on an exit and I think it was fate. Ended up at a Shell...

Thanks! You guys are awesome. To do this, would you get a hydraulic jack (3T) and jack stands? Or ramps?

Hi folks, I just bought my first 4Runner w/ rust. :ybrick: I would like to see what I can do to ensure its longevity. In the mean time, I bought a few cans of Fluid Film and coated whereever I saw rust. Here's some photos...any recommendations on what I should do next...
