Yup, I actually tried that first because I assumed they were decals. Unfortunately, it had no affect on the painted stripes :(

I've owned this 4runner for about 2 years now and did nothing to it. Bought it from the dealer as a one owner dealership serviced vehicle and has the rare 4th gen 3rd row seat! I gotta say, this thing has been reliable as I remember my old Toyota trucks and am happy I went with it. With its age...

Sold to a local mechanic, full mechanical issues disclosed (of course). Thanks everyone for the help.

Jeeze, I'm mentioning everything here in the thread to anyone who contacts me. Even mentioned the leaks, tranny pop, everything. I mentioned in the thread that I also had the frame fixed, and I did. Just had two conversations with people and mentioned the milkshake, they didn't know what it was...

Just sent you a PM through the site here with some pics.

OK, PM me your email address or phone #, ill send some pics over.

Thanks, still bummed about it. I put it for sale locally as is for 2500. We'll see what happens!

Thanks! All that combined still sounds much better than the rotting frame and milkshake issues I had to endure with my 3rd gen!

Hello, Just introducing myself here, I just bought my first 4th gen! First time 4th gen owner, lifelong Toyota owner. Creds: First truck was an 87 Pickup, then went to a 92 pickup, then Tacoma. moved to 3rd gen T4R when I got older and had a family. Anyhow, my 3rd gen finally hit the end of...

Solved the issues Well, I've decided to solve my issues by "upgrading" to a 4th gen. I found a nice 1 owner 90k 2006 sr5 with all maintenance and records done at the dealer. for 12k. Not exactly cheap but I'm willing to pay a bit more with how well its been maintained and documented. I tried...

Now this is just getting crazy. So now after replacing a broken solenoids, replacing radiator, flushing the heck out of everything, its shifting well... but now it just started leaking tranny fluid like CRAZY! At first I thought I forgot to connect the lines up to the radiator, but they are...

Well, the new radiator is in and everything seems to be fine, no more milkshakes of any kind. I can't believe this thing is still shifting fine, hopefully it hangs in there for a while. Honestly, if the solenoid light didn't come on I wouldn't have even have noticed the milkshake until it was...

Thanks, the radiator wont be in until friday, so the 4runner will be sitting until then. keep in mind, I did flush the milkshake out, so its not sitting with the milkshake. I'm just really shocked the trans didn't give, it drove great tbh if you read the thread, just popped out of gear once or...

Well I guess I also should have stated something very obvious, I do not have Toyota red coolant, I have green coolant. Green coolant and Red tranny fluid = brown (chocolate) milkshake. Hopefully the new radiator solves the problem and there is no tranny damage. I didn't see any metal or anything...

Thanks, I was thinking about this possibility as well but I don't see any other signs of a blown head gasket. The truck runs fine, doesn't overheat, coolant looks fine and oil looks fine. Maybe this is the very beginning of the milkshake issue, I don't know. I ordered a new radiator and well...
