End of 2025 Update: The 2008 4 Runner went to my brother in Colorado who promptly sold it to a fellow in California. Not sure about its current status but if that person is on the forum be sure to say, "Hello." I do not have a 4 Runner at this time. The 2002 Taco is very much still a part...

Very nicely done; looks great !

Well done; really nice work. I have grown to really like this color T4R ... but then I may be biased ... How has that particular RTT worked out over time ? significant noise added ? Consideration for future tires: The Duratracs in 235/85-16; they ended up being a lot quieter than the 255/85...

Sorry for delayed response: No issues at all and the winch can do a lot of work at engine idle which was important to me to be able to use it without assistance from another person or the need to install a friction throttle device to set the engine at higher than idle RPM's without a brick or...

2008 V8 just hit 53,000 mi

Mr Clean "Magic Sponges" make the plastic trim look brand new. (Don't rub the paint.) I use 'em on my Taco wheel well trim and it's like it just came out of the box!

My '08 SR5 V8 cost ~ 20K in 2011 when it had just over 20K mi on it. Has ~ 46K mi on it now; it's still like driving a new vehicle. No idea what they are going for now but I wouldn't accept what I paid for it !

Nice stuff but the bike rack looks to be a swing away itself; not sure that's the answer.

I have the same rear bumper set-up; get an extended hitch, works great!

Picked up replacement motor on Amazon for $226.00 (free delivery if you have prime) Search for "Warn 68608" Let the folks at Schrockworks know about this potential problem; they were unaware and will likely add info to bumper paperwork.

I bought my 4Runner from a guy that didn't use it all that much so it sat for long periods of time. When I began taking the insides apart to install a sound system I found what amounted to an entire bag of those multi coloured Goldfish stashed in the wire runs beneath the door sills. You can't...

Hey Matt, you should check out the pdf attached above and see if the drain hole orientation issue pertains to your winch. I would bet it does. I think that I had more corrosion because we have high salt use here in New England during winter.

Hey Folks, been absent for a while but I've been doing a little work on the Runner recently and thought I would pass on some info as a Public Service Announcement. My winch stopped working a few months ago and I finally got a chance to pull it and investigate. I could hear the solenoids...

Sorry Adobo, They are still in use on the rig.

Well done; thanks for sharing the work-around.
