    Other SUVs you've owned compared to your 4runner

    I have had a 79 bronco, 80 bronco, 83 bronco, 93 bronco all fullsize and a lot of wranglers. I still have the 83 and 93 broncos and a 95 wrangler. Everything was modified and beat offroad so its hard to fairly compare them to the 4runner that never leaves the pavement. The broncos all did...

    Issues, lots of Issues...

    XM literally quit the day after I got it. Won't even turn on. Called XM and they say the vehicle doesn't have XM(!?) I have a factory NAVw/JBL with a SAT button. I know this may sound stupid but are you sure it has XM? Does the truck have a XM antenna on the truck and does it have the XM box...

    Can a 2005 4runner be stolen? Help!

    You would be amazed at how many people leave a spare key in the glovebox, console or door pocket. The people with the smart keys in the car are the best since you don't even need to put the effort in to find it. Touch the door and it unlocks and you just drive away. I have had people lose...

    A/C repair was ridiculously expensive

    You can't see the evaporator so many people miss it as a source of the problem. There are several ways I go about checking A/C leaks. The first thing is I check for oily dirt near the condenser and any connections. The condenser usually gets beat up and rock puts a small hole in it. The oil...

    4th Gen 4runner Engine Count

    Bought my 07 new with the V8. It was a fight to get it since no dealers had a V8 they pushed the 6 cyl. Dealer I worked at even told me they didn't make it with a V8. Another dealer told me the V8 is junk and gets awful gas mileage. The 4.7L was in the Landcrusier, LX470 and the Tundra for...

    A/C repair was ridiculously expensive

    I didn't mean for it to sound like that. People complain about the cost of this repair and I can understand because 10 years ago you could remove the glovebox and remove the evaporator in about 20 minutes. Now you tell people the entire car gets taken apart and they don't believe it. It is...

    A/C repair was ridiculously expensive

    Everyone complains about the price of the repair but the problem is everything needs to be removed from the truck. Most don't understand how much comes a part. Its a lot of work to get it from the 1st picture to the second with out any rattles or parts left over. This was an evaporator repair...

    Rust on 6 month old 4Runner

    Have you seen the rusted frames on the 95-2005 Tacomas, 2000-2005 Tundras and Sequoias? There is no excuse for a truck under 10 years old to have its frame rusted out so badly its unsafe to drive and needs replacement. Toyota is doing something wrong here for sure. My 80s era ford trucks...

    Don't buy from shrockworks

    This is exactly the problem. I am new here and trying to research as much as possible before asking 100s of questions asked before. I would and I would assume others looking to buy from this company would like real feedback on dealing with them. All you have done is place an order with them...
