    4th Gen CV Axles interchangeability with 5th Gen?

    I changed both my front axles with remans last week. I did passenger first, thinking it was the only one I needed and noticed the driver was bad when I was under there. After the first time I did the passenger, the diff seal was leaking. I definitely recommend replacing that but be careful doing...

    Electrical completely dead

    That's a good idea to check if what I was hearing and smelling was belt whine from a seized pulley. I think it would have been more rubber burning smell and squealing as opposed to whining but I'll have a look at the belt. Looking into this more, I'm wondering if it's the 140A fuse. Would this...

    Electrical completely dead

    I started my 08 V8 4Runner this morning and noticed the battery light was on. NBD, I turned it off and drove the other car in. When I got back home, I started the 4runner, heard a bit of whine which I presumed to be the alternator, smelled a bit of burning in that area and turned it off. It was...

    Button/Switch back light wires

    Problem solved. I connected the wires as noted above (to DAC plug) and things are working perfectly. Switch is matched to interior lights, including dimming.

    Aftermarket Switch installation

    I've searched a bit and think I found the answers but there was no clear follow up as to how things worked out. This was the closest thread I found (Button/Switch back light wires). Anyways, I'm wiring in a Toyota Tall switch style from CH4x4 to add in two additional lighting circuits. I've got...

    Button/Switch back light wires

    So I'm trying to wire a similar switch and wanting to make sure I've got it all correct. So power I'm good with. The dash light circuit is what I need clarification on. Red(power) - Planning to use an add-a-fuse to the box to power on with ign Black (ground) - This is the one that needs to be...

    Headlight grounding point - Size?

    TY for info. Was being lazy trying to prevent the inevitable pulling the bolt out in the hardware store parking lot to go in and size up the terminal. So here's what I've put together so far. Cold AF here and I don't have the headlights yet so I haven't been in a rush to install yet. Next step...

    Headlight grounding point - Size?

    So I ordered aftermarket headlights that are going to have an additional Diode Dynamics SS3 pod in them. Therefore, I need to wire a separate circuit to trigger the light. I've gone way overboard and am adding a new fuse-box to a PowerTrays tray. I've got a Toyota Tall switch that will be used...

    All geared up for V8 transmission fluid change - Toy service recommends NO

    I did it myself using the trans cooler lines. I drained the pan into a pan and transferred to a measured container. Got a fluid pump attached to the return line from the cooler. Pumped that amount back into the trans (2-3 qts). Take the line to the trans cooler and put it an extension on it down...

    All geared up for V8 transmission fluid change - Toy service recommends NO

    I bought my 08 V8 @ 161k miles and never had records of it having been changed. I did the full fluid swap with WS fluid @ 162k miles and am now @ 166k. My trans was shifting fine when I got it and is fine now. There is no such thing as a forever fluid. A lifetime fluid assumes breakage will...

    Should I Change My Transmission Fluid?

    ^I did pretty much that method on my new to me 08 V8 with 161k miles. Much prefer to use the cooler's return line than trying to pump under the truck past the exhaust. I exchanged 14 quarts. I never had records of it being changed prior to my ownership but it shifted fine. Kinda slow but no...
