Oh, now remembering why I never did a timing belt - I have a timing chain. Thx!

Thanks. Sounds like you did a water pump and timing belt replacement - was that due to some issue, or a proactive/standard maintenance?

Hi, I have about 100k miles on my 2008 6c LTD 4Runner. I went to do standard brake pad replacements (and a seized caliper) and the shop (dealer - they had a good coupon for the brake pad work) is telling me I need the following... I'm looking for feedback on the pricing they offer, and...

Hi, I need new rear brake pads (not bad, my OEMs lasted 100k miles almost) - anyone have someone they like in Park City / SLC? The dealer wants $350 (clips and rotor conditioning included), just for a data point. Thx !

Well, my blade has worn out so bumping this. I can't remember what I did last time, think I was at the dealer anyway for an oil change (they actually have the best price in my area for full synthetic change) and just had them replace it. What's involved in replacing my blade (note, the other...

Bumping, hoping for a recommendation in the SLC area. (thanks Founded, but Orem is too far away)

Hi, it's been a while since my T4R has needed anything (they're so great)... anyone have a good SLC-area mechanic (SLC proper, south to Orem/Provo or north past N. SLC is too far for me)? Thx

Hi, I was going to go with the Defender LTX (I have Mich on my T4R now and never had an issue) but at Costco the two guys both have T4Rs and said they like the BFG Trail-Terrain better (for mountain snow, my main use, I use another vehicle for off-road now). Any opinions on that comparison?

Not exactly related to Nitto's, but I am looking for tire recommendations. I have a 2008, I live in the mountains (Utah) but don't have need for snow tires or studs just an all season, I no longer use my T4R for off-roading so probably don't need an all-terrain (for that reason). I would...

Which size Michellin is one buying for a 4th gen?

I years ago posted the same question (for my 2009 V6 Ltd). Same situation, it only happens when engine is temporarily stressed like accelerating / going up hill. It doesn't happen frequently, and it maybe occurs once and then no repeat of the issue during the day. No one here could answer...

Hi, I guess I hit a 5k mileage threshold and my MAINT light is on... using synthetic oil I need no service visit currently, can anyone help me with a code/reset? Thanks!

Yes, it was the spare! Added air and the light is off. I love toyota-4runner.org, thanks everyone :)

Ugh, I didn't check the spare (yet), maybe that's it?

Thanks for the reply. How much did four sensors cost you?
