2nd Gen Supercharger Rotor Pack Replacement I thought I would post this here in case it could help someone. I bought a 2nd Gen TRD supercharger for my 98 that turned out to have a bad rotor pack. Something metal had traveled through the rotor pack and messed up the timing and damaged the...

No worries, I really appreciate the help.

Ah, that makes sense but both of my 4runners are 4x4 so I should be good. Thanks

I knew about the driveshafts (I have them) but not the rear upper control arms. What is different about them?

98 Limited Swap to 5 Speed I have done extensive reading on this and think I am right but wanted to ask before I move ahead. I have a really nice auto 1998 3.4 4x4 Limited that I just swapped a low mileage engine into. I have a rust bucket 97 3.4 4x4 5-Speed and would like to use to swap...

I just (2 months or so ago) replace the v6 in my 2004. You can buy an engine from an 03 or 04 only (I used a 03 and it fit exactly with no issues). It was really not that hard to do as long as you have the right tools. AND get the factory service manuals, do not try to do it with a Haynes or...

Engine is gone. Thanks for replies.

Seat covers are sold.

I just painted my 04's wheels Gunmetal Gray with Plastidip. I thought it turned out well also.

FREE: 2004 4Runner 1GRFE Engine (Raleigh, NC) I have a 04 1GRFE complete engine for free if anyone wants to pick it up in outside Raleigh, NC. I have an engine hoist and can load in in your truck. This engine has 134k miles and was replaced due to a bad head gasket. I took the engine out...

I have what I believe to be a full OEM set of leather seat covers from a 4th gen 4runner. This includes the front, rear and 3rd row seats. I bought them locally to go on my 2004, but do not have the 3rd row seat and they will not work as the configuration of the 2nd row is different. This set...

I would love to see a quick writeup or some pictures. I am in the middle of this right now. I planned to take the engine out of mine (04 V6 4WD) but could not get the engine separated from the transmission so I will go ahead and tear it down in the car. Looks like from the FSM I will have to...

I am pulling the engine in my 2004 4wd V6 (blown head gasket) and cannot get the engine to separate from the transmission. I have taken all 9 bolts out, and even took out the 6 bolts holding the flywheel to the torque converter through the starter hole. I have used a screwdriver and prybar to...

You basically have to disassemble the front and bottom of the engine to get the head off so most have found it easier to just go ahead with the few bolts remaining and take the engine all the way out. Thanks for your help above.
