Can someone tell me what the blank plates are for in a 2018 SR5 glove box (top left)? I’m trying to figure out what buttons/gizmos are pre-wired in the 5th gen and what I can easily add (or grab an ecm from a trd pro/trd OR/premium).

I’ve got a 2004 4th gen with 140k ish. About a year and a half ago, it died and would turn over but wouldn't start. Ended up being a fuel pump issue. Not too long after, it started sputtering every once in a while during start up and having similar problems. Its gotten so bad that sometimes it...

Issues I need help with 1. For the steering wheel vibration, I plan on getting the wheels rebalanced and Im thinking about an alignment because it doesnt quite drive straight like I want it to. Beyond that, are there any common issues with vibrations? im thinking inner tie rods maybe? body...

Fixed After getting fluids done, I replaced all the spark plugs with the Denso pre-gapped iridium spark plugs. I noticed a ticking noise coming from one side so I took them all out, looked at them (one looked too clean) and switched the coil pack on that one. Still got a tick so I put an old...

Modifications So far, I dont think I will be doing anything crazy but I figured I would start with some info on this stuff since I didnt find much while looking. I got a kenwood DMX706S unit with car play and bluetooth. The biggest thing I had to figure out was the wiring. Turned out they...

Hi y'all, I got an 04 a few weeks ago and I've been tweaking things progressively to get it in good shape. I've been looking for help on a few things so I figured Id make a thread on everything I find and troubleshoot so maybe people don't have to search around so much. Current issues...

What engine do you have in the 3rd gen? 4.88 with 33s seems insane to me but I guess if you dont have to drive it much on the highway, it wouldn't be terrible... I've got 4.56 with 35s but I have the V8 and I honestly wish I had 4.10s for more wheel speed and lower highway rpms. 33s were just...

The last time I had to pull one off a 2UZ I just used a titan strap... granted I was in a hurry and grabbed the first thing I could find that emulated a rubber strap wrench which is my personal favorite for loosening. I could see why the impact mounted one would be nice on the V6 though since...

Huh. I feel like they all look rusty. my 4 runner definitely looks worse than my gx though. The more I stare at it, the less I want to do it myself haha

Anyone got a post-install update with the V8 engine? I just hopped on the backorder list for the short tubes.

I have Auxito (chinese) leds for low beams and Morimotos (japanese) for high beams in my GX. the auxitos are loud but powerful. the morimotos have a longer warranty (3 years). one auxito went out and they shipped me a new set in less than a week. Also have Nilight pods that cost me $50 and have...

Ive got OME on my GX which is I believe the same system. I find those complaining about stiffness picked the wrong strength. Ive got a steel bumper and winch so heavy front, roof rack and gear so medium in the rear. Its perfectly comfortable and ive beaten the shit out of it. its miles better...

I have a "heavy" Napa axle on my GX470. I snapped one already and another from oreilly or some other parts store. When they replaced it, it was a different axle. longer, fit perfectly, setup like OEM. I was surprised. I carry the replacement as a spare in a box in the back. The one I broke from...

Literally just went through this. Replaced spark plugs and then it wouldnt idle. The computer adjusted to the new state and it was like 250-400 RPM in gear. You can still drive it this way if you need to by using both feet and shifting into neutral when stopping then keeping the accelerator...

I havent messed with my undercarriage yet but I believe its just like my GX. One tip I have is when pulling the swaybar off, remove the nuts on the bolts and then pull the 4 bolts out of the frame so it is loose and then just pull it out easy. First time I did it, I jacked up the threads. if you...
