Do they fit stock Off Road calipers?

Haven't been on the forum much over the past couple of years. I have a 2017 Off Road. Would like to add a switchable front camera (switch front/rear). Last I remember there was at least one kit but some people were having trouble getting it to work. What's the current, best kit to use? Same...

I had a piece of fender trim rip off and get run over by cars on the freeway. Went to get an estimate from a body shop and they want about $500 (not surprising as it has a lot of little pieces associated with it). The original piece is unusable. The part from Toyota is unpainted and has a...

Light for shifter indicator is out. Searched the forum and couldnt find how to remove shifter cover/bezel. There are plenty of posts that talk about the bulb, but i couldn't find anything on how to remove the cover. How do I remove this please?

My son is taking his 2005 V8 back east from CA for a couple of years (grad school) and I want to get it in top shape from work I can do here plus a independent Toyota mechanic around here I trust. It's been mostly a CA car but spent a couple of years in the Midwest. Timing belt and other work...

I have a body clip removal tool I bought at Auto Zone or similar place. It looks like a bent version of the garden tool you use to dig up dandelions and other weeds. You can also just use a flat bladed screwdriver.

Found and fixed my rattle thanks to this forum. Had the problem since about 4K miles (now have 15K). Found the probable cause through the forum (inner fender liner). Took it to the dealer to let them fix it, even telling them the location. They never fixed it. Took the front left wheel/tire...

OP Here OP Here, Thanks for all of the replies. A couple of things: 1. I grew up in the snow belt (9 months of winter and 3 months of mighty poor sledding). I’ve been driving in snow (with studded tires, regular snow tires, all season tires, and regular tires) for decades. As hoodlum...

I've had plenty of AWD vehicles, but this is my first 4WD vehicle (2017 Off Road). I was a little taken aback when I first drove in 4Hi and went to put it back in 2WD and had the lever refuse to go back into 2WD. Also with the different behavior in turning into things like driveways and feeling...

Hinge or latch?

Try some Wyoming Whiskey while you're there. Its good stuff.

I placed 2 orders with AutoAnything a few weeks ago: Seat covers and a dash cover. Seat Covers: I received an email a few days ago that that the seat covers were delayed for a couple of weeks. As this car will be going to the Midwest to be used by my son when he lives off campus at school, I...

(Mods: I put a post similar to this over in the NorCal section 4 days ago but received no answers. 4Runners are all over the place out here so I guess it's just a poorly visited sub-forum. Please let me know if this is inappropriate.) I need to get a 90K service done and need a good...

Who has one? Do you like it? If so, who's the vendor" Will the passenger airbag be able to deploy? Thanks! Mike

I'm located in Danville and going to need the 90K service. I looked at Yelp and Toyota of Walnut Creek got poor marks. I've been to the Dublin dealership and that place give me the creeps. Where can I get the best Toyota service in the 680/580 corridor from someone who knows 4Runners? Thanks...
