You can buy them on AliExress for like $20 or so a piece. The Toyota emblem will be removed in the pictures for the ad, but they will be included. You'll just need to do some perusing to find the proper style for your particular rim.

Unfortunately the warranty doesn't transfer over to new owners, but I've got a new set of shocks on order, so those will be warrantied. Might as well replace the top hats since the rubber on it is cracking, added that to the cart. After some trouble, I was finally able to get my one strut out...

test!

Well it's been a hot minute since I've been on here. I drove over a pot hole the other day and the bottom washer busted on my strut. The piston on the shock now moves freely up above the top hat. :( Eibach Pro Truck Stage 1 was installed by the previous owner, and I received no paperwork when I...

Unsure what's happening, but can't access any pages after 99. Been a busy bee lately, starting to prep for some solo camping trips this upcoming season. - Currently planning on disconnecting the rear 12v socket and creating a rear power panel. I purchased the wrong amperage power button and am...

I just had my timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt and AC Compressor replaced by an independent shop (Toyota Master Tech) a month ago. I provided the timing belt and compressor. I originally planned on taking it to the dealership as they had the lowest rate, but when it came time to booking...

Lots of threads on this problem, but I wanted to post my fix which may save you a few dollars. Problem: When I closed the rear hatch, it would latch, then pop back open after around 5 seconds as if I had pressed the open button. This happened to me a couple weeks ago, I pulled the ECM-B fuse...

Correct. I just did a quick google and it shows that a timing chain related code would be P0016, P0017 and P0340.

Well, after booking an appointment with the 4Runner specialty shop here in town, they didn't have any openings until next month, so I had some time to think about this job. I rummaged through my garage and found an adapter for the wire cup attachment for my angle grinder. It had an adapter...

Welp, I'm f*ed. Time to call for professional help. Tack weld on one skid plate bolt broke when I was trying to unscrew the remaining bolt after I had drilled through the center of the broken bolt. Tack weld on the nut of the front gas tank strap also broke when I was trying to hammer and chisel...

Well, I finally collected all the required parts and mustered up the will to work on it today, only to have two skid plate bolts and one strap bolt break on me. How exactly would you suggest breaking the welded nut with a hammer/chisel if the welded component is within the frame? Through a teeny...

I had a '04 V6 which threw P0420 & P0430, original cats. Unsure whether this was connected to the head gasket issue I had, not saying that you will have the head gasket issue because of your code. I am in a non-emissions testing province, so I just cleared the code and reset it every time it...

My '04 V6 made these noises, had white smoke coming out during start-up, coolant levels dropping slowly over time. I had a head gasket leak. My current '07 V8 makes these noises, has been for the last 10 months of ownership except for the hot summer days. I've attempted to burp the system a...

Bringing this post back from the grave as I am currently wrapping up my coastal offroad front bumper project very soon, and I referred to this post a few times to get tips and tricks. Thanks Jeremy! I'll be posting in the 'what did you do to your 4R today's later as I can't post pictures from...

I don't camp in my rig yet, but use the shelf regularly since it's a good way to hide my tools from view. I also have a milk crate that I've cut a notch out (maybe 2" vertically, 1/2" inwards) from one side, so I can shove it on the non elevated bed, and the notch allows for me to shove it on...
