Do any of you know of a safe source to download techstream without getting a virus along with it? Version doesn't matter as long as it works with 4th gens...

2007 SR5: I have a newly installed head unit, was working fine for a couple of weeks, installed it with a harness adapter from Crutchfield. The other day, the Radio 1 fuse (under the hood) blew. I just checked it today, and when I install a new fuse, it blows immediately. It does this when...

Hey everyone, Planning to install seat jackers, I found that the previous owner of my runner sheared one of the rear driver's seat bolts and didn't bother to address the issue. I need to extract the bolt which is sheared off flush. What's the best way for me to extract what's left of the...

Good point, thanks!

Thanks, everyone! Sounds like it's not really anything I need to worry about, great!

Boy do I feel dumb. Of course, mud flaps. I do plan on taking this off-road, but nothing crazy. Should I install mudflaps, fabricate something from plastic to close off the openings, or just leave them open? Seems like mud and debris might really collect in those holes...

Just purchased a 2007 4Runner over the weekend! I can't seem to find a diagram or part number, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Both rear wheel wells are missing the shields, aprons or whatever they're called, as shown in the pic below. Any help greatly appreciated! Also...

Thanks, everyone! Now, is there a tutorial anyone can recommend?

Yes, I'm planning on doing it myself...why do you ask?

Hey, all! I need to get a new rear passenger window for my 2000...will ANY year 3rd gen glass fit?

Okay, so I started with the truck cold. Removed the radiator cap, started it, let it run a few minutes...no bubbles. Shut it off, replaced the cap, started it up again. Let it run a few minutes. Tried squeezing the top rad hose while it was running, could barely squeeze the hose and just a...

I've read a few posts on here about the 3rd gen head gaskets, and it seems pretty common that the P0300 P0306 error is often a head gasket issue on the #6 cylinder. Mine started running rough and the engine light was at first coming on intermittently (not blinking), then it was on and stayed...

Dealer Says... I dropped it at the local dealer this morning, they just called and said it needs at least: a new bearing, new axle, new differential housing. It might need more, but they won't know until they get it apart. They called the insurance company who is sending an adjuster to look...

Sounds like my suspicions were correct...the guy at the body shop doesn't know what he's talking about...

My 2000 4Runner was recently run into by a Hyundai Sonata. My Runner was doing about 20MPH when the sonata ran into me in an intersection. My Runner was spun around 180 degrees from the impact. Cosmetically, there's not much damage. However, something is now damaged in the rear which makes...
