Got the call this morning that my dash was in. Going in tomorrow morning for the replacement. 2 days shy of 2 months. Not too shabby!

I apparently have a coolant seeping gasket at the rear coolant crossover. I am having a hard time find the gasket part number after hours of searching. Though I will admit I'm not very good at this thing. Can anybody help me with this? Also any idea how hard it is to replace? 2004 V8...

No pics because of crappy weather, but had the front windows tinted. :noidea:

I'm with you. Our driveway is a pretty healthy incline. If I hear the clunk when she puts it into reverse she's going to hear about it through a parking break refresh course.

Pulled my 04 and 16 out of the driveway to clear off last nights snow.

Just bought my 2004 V8 with 167k three weeks ago. Had it at the dealer to replace the transfer case actuator and figured they might as well replace the screen and fluid while they were there, since I have no idea how the truck was treated previously. Advisor said the fluid was dark but...

Installed 4300k hid kit along with some new fog and turn housings. Messed up the driver side fog though. Went to wipe them down and I must have used it previously to debadge with goof-off. Started melting the plasitc instantly. So now I need to get a new one of those. Nothing has really...

Thanks for the reply, I'll have to keep an eye on it. It can't be a head gasket right? I'm not nearly educated enough in engines, but I believe it's location is too high to be that.

My 2 Week new to me 2008 4runner V8 has been parked for the last week while I've fought with the dealership that is 200 miles away I bought it off of in regards to a 4WD issue. I noticed yesterday a small wet spot of fluid under the vehicle. Slid under the vehicle this morning and found...

Looks good! Wish it was wam enough here to give mine good detail.

Still haven't figured out my 4WD problem, but did some cosmetic work today to keep my mind off of it. Some badging replaced with vinyl and black headlights. Got one new turn signal in before getting dark. Still need to paint grille emblem too.

Most certainly not legal as the headlights were not designed for them. With that said I have been putting HIDs into cars since 2006 without any issues with law enforcement or state inspection.

2004 V8 Sport. From what I understand not any different than any other 2003-2005 4runner. Changed bumper style in 2006 refresh. Haha. You edited your post as I was responding. In 2006 the reflectors were integrated into tail lights and markers went away. No actual bulb in US 2003-2005 models

Installed some LED Taillights after work. Pretty pleased with the look. New headlights and turn signals came as well, but too cold to deal with those today. I need a garage!
