I have a lil input here . . I have 2 Weize 105ah LiFePO4 batteries in my 4runner in parallel being charged by a Victron Orion XS 50 amp 12/12 dc to dc charger. starter is connected to my parallel batteries directly. These batteries are both starting batteries powering a winch, a high powered...

Thank You Cezar. Appreciate it.

Can anyone tell me where this 12v LIVE white cable runs to in the fuse box? Its mounted to the top corner near the 140 amp fuse and runs down into the harness. Im trying to reconnect my harness after a big wire upgrade and I cant remember where this white cable goes. It goes to alternator i...

Of course not. Why ask a sarcastic dumb question. I have a Winch and a high draw audio system. Batteries are inside my 4runner not in the engine bay. I have a Orion XS charger which requires you isolate your starter and alternator so you can crank and the Orion can capture your alt power to...

If anyone can look on their fuse box and see the white cable coming out into the harness and trace where this white cable runs to PLEASE let me know. I have a 2003 4runner V6.

I have no idea how to read that or how it corresponds to the white cable coming out of the fuse box. The white cable runs from a mount at the top of the fuse box, runs down into the harness and where does it attatch from there? Alternator? Starter? battery post? Its a a constant live 12v cable...

Does anyone KNOW where this white hot wire goes? Its always hot. I rerouted it years ago to the battery bank itself with no issues after installing a parallel LiFePO4 dual bank inside my 4runner and did a big wire upgrade years ago but Ive always had this white cable just running to my battery...

I have a 2003 4runner SR5 and was getting 14.8 and 15 mpg at best. Switched to NON-ethanol gas at Murphy's gas station in Colorado Springs for the last 2 months and now im getting 16.7 mpg and it keeps getting better every week it seems. It takes a few tanks of gas to empty out that ethanol that...

Im doing the same thing right now installing a AMP'd UP LLC winch mount for 2003 4runner SR5 v6. In that exact spot Im using it to further reinforce the winch mount by connecting L bracket and welding it up with 7018 rod. I got a thread checker for the threaded hole and Im reading it as a M12 x...

2 answers for you even though this is an older post but still relevant now. IF YOU WELD on your 4th gen 4runner frame which is 1/8 thick steel you ONLY use 3/32 7018 rods, 85-90 amps, hot start +7, Arc Force +5, background current 70%, 2 hz - literally drag the rod on the frame steady but slow...

So there is a filter located under the Oil Filter area and theres 2 on either size of the valve covers, near exhaust on driver side and in opposite location on other other side? Are all 3 of these little filters dealing with the vvt or vvti?

Cant I just take my PCV valve out and clean it and reinstall it? Like clean it with acetone or gasoline?

I "disagree" with all of you. This is from a Toyota dealer in Florida and it answers my question. Toyota uses Hybrid Organic Acid technology (HOAT), AKA "50/50 Pre-Diluted Super Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant - Toyota Genuine #00272-SLLC2 (Older Version 00272-SLLAC)" This is a direct copy from...

Which fluid BESIDES the oem toyota fluid do I use? AI says OAT. I know its supposed to be organic acid type but can I use POAT or PHOAT? Im not paying 60 bucks for 2 gallons of oem toyota crap. Its bad enough paying $40 bucks for 2 gallons of oem equivalent. Anyone got any true info on this?

I just bought the exact same Denso part off rockauto after my 2003 4runner v6 hit 290,000 miles and my radiator is sagging. The offset relief cuts on top and bottom are normal. They allow slight clearance in the frame for flex under heat or damage (impact) preventing the cores from leaking if...
