Don't judge the victims unless you've lived with the keyless system. I got a smoking deal on a new Tacoma in 2016. I would never have paid extra for it. You still have to carry a fob, what's so hard about using a key? I read another article that 36 people have died from keyless cars so far...

So your car has a $4k salvage value; what is insurance offering you? I imagine it's already a done deal but you can negotiate a little on the payout. I intend to use ended auctions from eBay but there aren't that many recent ones. I have a 2008 as well that's why I'm reading this forum...

I don't know the specific answer but most of the time I post pictures on Yotatech first and copy/paste them on here. This site wants them hosted elsewhere.

I need the lower front valance for a 1st gen 4Runner. OEM. The aftermarket I bought is as thin as tin foil. Must be in VG to Excellent shape. White would be a plus but I will be painting it anyway. I live in Hanover, VA, near Richmond with zip code 23116. TIA. It's the part below the...

For the Zuk mod we cut down 14" Jeep springs that cost $10 on eBay. They seemed to have been taken off a brand new Jeep. Cut them to 12" and it lifted the 4Runner about 2". I took before and after pictures but for some reason I can't get them off my phone. He cranked the fronts until he felt...

I don't like the lines of the KTT. It looks like a hearse in the back to me. I've had the Softopper on since Sept 2016 and it's great. They do give you two pieces of Velcro for the rear flap but most people don't put it on the 4Runner. The rear flap is long enough to seal it. I drive it on...

Back home getting a bath with the foam blaster.

We took the 4Runner to the OBX last week. My son has done the Zuk mod and cranked the front. He took off the front valence (temporarily). He added a CB and a magnetic dorky antenna. We had a cold stormy day and drove the 14 miles up the beach to the NC/VA line. The fence in the background...

When I got an Optima a few years ago I used the Tacoma World 40% off coupon with Advance Auto. You place the order on line and pick it up the next day at the store. I'm thinking I have a red top but it was $180 I think and I got it replaced free when someone I will not mention left it on the...

Katkzins and Clazzio seat covers are supposed to be great. There are several threads about them on Tacoma World that you should read. I see no reason not to get them from eBay and install them yourself. I was thinking about which ever brand you install over the factory upholstery. IIRC it...

Behold the completed auction prices on Bring A Trailer. The key is keeping it original and low mileage. https://bringatrailer.com/search/4runner/auctions/

They are supposed to come with the shock. I did buy a set off eBay for my '89 and then procrastinated about installing them so I forgot who sold them. When it came time to install for some reason one shock was missing the bushings. I got "Help" brand bushings at Autozone for about $4.99 and...

^^^The Michelins last forever but I was never happy with their appearance. I had them on my third gen 'til about three years ago. I was begging them to die so I could get new tires. They finally reached their six year expiration date with plenty of tread left. I replaced them with Cooper...

This is great. My son drives my 2000 and he has access to free 3D printing at his school library. He was asking me to find a good project. If he does it I imagine it will be after winter break.

Wow that's nice. Where is all your stuff?
