Sold

Hello everyone, I didn’t expect to be putting our 4runner up for sale after 7yrs of ownership but our family is growing and we need a larger SUV with a 3rd row. We are selling our 2006 4Runner with the rare XSP option (Extreme Sport Package). For those that aren’t familiar, this was a dealer...

Got it, thank you. Missed that title detail.

Hello My name is Luke and I’m a long time member I’ve posted my 2006 4Runner in the vehicle classifieds but it’s being pulled with no explanation I’ve contacted the forum mod ( JWaldz ) to understand why (and what I can do to correct) but received no reply. Does anyone have any...

I looked but don’t recall seeing any threaded holes in the rotor. What size are these bolts when threads exist?

Whoops, accidentally posted this in the 5th gen forum. Mods can you help move here? Thank you. https://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/287714-brake-job-didn%C2%92t-go-expected.html

Thank you for the reply guys... I think I may have really underestimated how much force may be needed here. YouTube When you strike, do you strike the hat between the studs or do you strike the pad surface? Also, how heavy of a hammer do you think will be sufficient for the job? 2lb ball peen?

Hi guys, I’ll start off by saying that I’ve been working on cars for over 20yrs and completed in the ballpark of 12-15 complete pad/rotor changes in the past on everything from classic muscle cars to modern domestic/foreign cars. I’ve never had any major issues. The brakes on my 2006 4Runner...

I had to move the front fender liner forward an inch and I trimmed the mud flaps behind the front wheels. If I turn the wheels left and right on flat ground, it clears with the 265/70/17 wheels. However, if I have the wheels turned while accelerating/braking or under compression, it will rub...

Local guys claims to be selling a 2018 TRD spring/shock setup but the pics just shows black shock/struts with black springs. Did 2018 TRD have Bilsteins with red springs? Also don’t like the drilling of the upper mount.

Thanks for the write up I really don’t like having to drill that 1” hole to the upper mount. Is that front, rear or both?

Also, if I install OEM 2018 springs in my 2006, how will it change the ride height compared to stock? Thank you in advance.

Never understood the pathetic 7” pizza-cutters. Toyota, give us a good 8-8.5” oem, would ya??

Not sure if I posted a picture after doing the color keyed grill, handles, and tailgate trim:
