    99 4Runner Engine Noise

    To bring this to a close, I asked the owner for the vin so I could run it. Long story short, it was a salvage prior total loss. Given the engine noise and the title, I decided to pass on this. Thanks for everyone’s input, I appreciate it

    99 4Runner Engine Noise

    Thanks for the insight everyone. I bought a stethoscope and I’ll see if I can poke around it this weekend to pin point the noise

    99 4Runner Engine Noise

    Thanks for the reply! If it’s the flex plate, it will get quieter when in gear right? That’s seems to be what I’ve read. I’m thinking about just going to look at it this weekend so I can hear it in person and get underneath to hear if it’s the flex plate. I’ll see if he’ll do the spark plug...

    99 4Runner Engine Noise

    Hey All, I’m looking at a 1999 4Runner with ~240k miles that has an engine noise. I haven’t seen it person, but I had the owner send me a video of the noise. Trying to determine if it’s the flex plate, or one of the front drive accessories, or something else. I’ve researched it and watched...

    FS: 5th Gen Retrofitted Headlights - $300 Missouri

    Sorry I'm not getting emails saying there are posts on my thread. These request H1 bulbs, not the stock H11 bulbs. IT would be the same as running a PNP HID H11 kit, except you use H1 bulbs instead of H11. These are still available. Thanks,

    FS: 5th Gen Retrofitted Headlights - $300 Missouri

    I have a set of aftermarket DEPO 5th gen 4Runner headlights that were retrofitted. These are used and were pulled off my 5th gen 4runner Trail ed. They were rebuilt with TRS Morimoto 6.0 H1 bi-xenon projectors and chrome mini Gatling gun shrouds, the housings are blacked out with the trail...

    FS: Bilstein/OME Suspension in Gaithersburg, MD

    I know you said you wouldn't ship, but this is the exact setup I'm looking to do on my trail 4runner (~1" in the front to level it out and keep factory rear coils with new shocks). Can you give me some more info on how the fronts are setup? I'm assuming OME 833 coils installed on the 5100s at...

    Best Looking Black Wheels, 2010 4Runner

    I just got these Fuel Kranks installed on the 2013 Trail 4Runner. I used the stock Bridgestones off the 2014 Tundra as a temporary setup. Specs: Fuel Kranks 18x9 -12 offset 275/65R18 No lift Looking into maybe doing a level on it with adjustable coilovers, planning on adding LT275/65R18...

    2013 Trail 4Runner MiniH1 Retrofit

    70mm, but it all depends on what shroud you use.

    2014 4Runner Fog Light HID Conversion

    I've worked with many 4th gen (06-09) 4runners and they had the halogen projectors also. If the 14 projectors are similar to the 4th gen projectors, they are decent with a drop in kit, but not the best with a drop-in HID kit. Basically the "drop off" on the cutoff becomes non-existent. But it's...

    2013 Trail 4Runner MiniH1 Retrofit

    Here is a picture of the problem that people probably complain about when doing projectors. By painting the reflector, it cuts down tremendously on how the light spilling from the projector onto the chrome housing and reflecting out. Another way to fix this would be to get a deeper shroud that...

    2013 Trail 4Runner MiniH1 Retrofit

    The FX-R is an awesome projector, it will require more modifications than a MiniH1 simply due to having to cut more of the reflector to install. I have had the MiniH1 installed in my 11 Tundra for roughly 6 months now, with zero issues. That's the main reason I went with the MiniH1's on the...

    2013 Trail 4Runner MiniH1 Retrofit

    haha, once you do it, it will become second nature. I will say some words of advice to people, DO NOT buy the Depo headlights to try and do the retrofit. I had originally purchased a set of Depos ($207 for a pair) for the sake that I thought cutting up a "brand new" set of OEM headlights...

    2013 Trail 4Runner MiniH1 Retrofit

    Thanks. After getting the bumper over off, it took me roughly 6 hours total (waiting for paint to dry also) from start to finish on these. I've done 2 other retrofits before, both on Tundras, and I will say the 4Runner set was 10 times easier than the Tundra sets I've done. Thanks man! Total...
