Let me know if you upgraded and have the factory take out. Mine is 2021 TRD Off Road, non-JBL Thanks, JA

What a spectacular answer from 02SE!!!! Wow! That sounds really complicated, but I actually believe you are probably spot on! First of all, you couldn't make up an answer that complicated, and secondly, that is very similar to what I was hinting at above...i.e. the engagement of the transfer...

I did some searching on this but couldn't find a quick answer. So when in 2H, where is the power to the front wheels disconnected? Said another way, when shifting from 2H to 4H, which specific part engages to drive the front wheels? My understanding is that in 2H, the road force (while...

Bump. Whatever happened to J-Blickphoto?

Do you still have this seat?

Appreciate the response, Greydog. So did you just decide to do the ECGS solution yourself, or did you get Toyota to install it under warranty? I guess I am just surprised that Toyota has known that this needle bearing is suspect and have even issued a TSB for it, but they continue to...

Dusting off this thread for a quick question. I presume even the newest 4Runners are still using the exact same diff/needle bearing design? I bought a 2021 TRD Off Road in February, and drove it to Colorado (600 miles) with about 2,500 miles total on the truck. By the time I got to Colorado...

I got them at TruValue Hardware, if they have those where you are? JA

Bump....for any insight on the installation procedure for the inner dust seals. Thanks! JA

Bump for question on inner seals. JA

That's great news! Nice job diagnosing by the forum, and a good tip on where to get the parts. I just ordered both sides for my 95K 2011 SR5 last night. Question: Did you order and replace the inner seals as well? If so, are they easy to remove and reinstall the new ones? How about the...

Checking in from Overland Park. I go to Cars and Coffee at Stonegate (different vehicle), but indeed have been seeing a few 4Runners out there, which is great! Nice group of like minded individuals coming together here! JA

I am having this issue with my 2011 SR5. Made it to 91K miles before it appeared, so I don't feel as bad as the guys here with newer rigs. Interesting that my issue fits the description of what is being reported to a T. Low frequency gear/bearing growling noise that is most apparent 35-40...

Really, really great thread!! 4Runner, Colorado, Mountain Biking, Hiking, RZR, Beer and adventures with wife and littleman. Pretty much all my top priorities as well. Well done. Thanks for the travel log. A nice Sunday morning review for me. JA

Wow!! I ask if anyone has any specifics on what the actual wear issue is in the front diff and e60ral delivers this! Absolutely nails it! Thank you...what an outstanding resource this board and its members are! I am in discussions with ECGS as we speak. Will circle back with conclusions...
