Worse mpgs. The 4th gen v8s are full time 4wd and the v6 in 4wd is essentially the same, functions more like awd (with the center diff disengaged). You're thinking of more traditional 4wd systems, my dad's 2007 tacoma and my old 2002 tundra were like what you're thinking and should only be...

I still have mine, 145.5k and going strong. Sent from my BBB100-3 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info, I think you did really well on the price.

That's good to hear, I've been looking into getting new shocks for awhile now and I'm pretty sure I want the 4600. I just sold my tundy with 4600 and loved the ride. Just curious, where did you purchase and who did your install? Looks like shock warehouse is about $360 for all 4 and I do see...

Check for rust too, underneath of course, but also around the sunroof frame and rear window gasket. Good luck.

Probably a v6 based on the lack of front v8 badge...I think a good majority of v8 owners keep that badge on. Either way, I'd try and find a non-accident vehicle unless you're in love with this one for some good reason.

That's strange history, no doubt, especially for a 2007 which isn't known for head gasket issues. I'm familiar with all those shops and places and they seem to have good reputations. Additionally, if the 4runner did really have issues, it should definitely be taken care of now. I've heard of...

Today I replaced the driver side front marker light bulb! :guitar2: Yesterday my indy replaced both cv axles, did a coolant flush and an oil change. Maybe I shoulda waited and picked up some cvj axles but I didn't and he used autoquest axles. That's fine and it sure beats the quoted price of...

I was curious about pricing so I called the dealership in Seattle I used to take my vehicles to, I was quoted $881 using new Toyota cv axle, but he offered two other aftermarket options as well, the more expensive option was a rebuilt Toyota unit installed for about $400. That's reasonable. The...

Ha, I was just quoted over 800 for driver side cv axle replacement at the dealership in Rochester MN. I guess the price keeps going up, what a joke. Their coupons are funny too, "10 dollars off service".

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/99221-best-replacement-plug-n-go-headlights.html I did this h11 to h9 mod about a year ago, no complaints with it. I did get brighted a couple times right after I did the switch but haven't for a very long time now. Also, I'm still getting used to the...

Check for rust around the rear window seal and the sunroof seal too while you're at it.

The norm; check out the 4wd modes, rust (check under body, sun roof frame, rear window frame), cv boots, how does it feel driving and stopping...

The norm; check out the 4wd modes, rust (check under body, sun roof frame, rear window frame), cv boots, how does it feel driving and stopping...difficult to tell much from pictures but it's a 4runner!

Just wanted to add this to the archives as I didn't see it when I searched. My wife and her mom came home a bit ago and my wife said the passenger air bag was "off" with her mom sitting in that seat. I went out to the 4runner and checked the connections under the seat and everything looked...
