    Any way to turn AC off when in defrost mode?

    This is what I did when I had my Tacoma, The 4Runner should have the same diagram but should you decide to do it, do so at your own risk. This mod worked on my Tacoma nd I plan to do it to my 4Runner soon. A/C on with Defrost - Tacoma World Forums

    Sway Bar Delete

    I removed mine and the only thing I regret is not doing it sooner. The ride is greatly improved and if you just remove the front sway bar only, there is "slight" more body roll I can notice when exiting the freeway, other than that it rides great and does not have a loose or floaty feel to it...

    Undercarriage rattle = heat shield?

    I removed by front sway bar and my under carriage rattle went away. Cant explain why, but the rattle is gone. Not to mention it handles soooooooooooo much better. Acts more like an independent front suspension now. The only regrets I have is not doing it a long time ago. :beer:

    Caliper rattles/clanks

    I removed my front sway bar and that took care of my so called "clanks" everytime I went over a hole or bump in the road. I did this on my Tacoma when I was having the same type of issues and people told me to remove the sway bar and it will go away...and it did and now it works on my 4Runner...

    04 spark replacement (does this look bad)

    Overall the plug looks pretty good if they truely have 70K on them but what concerns me is that the threads look unusually wet. Do you have a valve cover leak?

    Front sway bar removal

    **UPDATE** I removed the sway bar earlier and I must say...WOW...should have done that a long time ago. The truck rides sooo much better. Highly recommend it! It also got rid of the "clanking" sound everytime I go over a bump in the road, so it was definitely tied into the sway bar. :guitar3:

    Front sway bar removal

    I hope I am not beating a dead horse here but I am thinking about removing my front sway bar like I had dome to my Tacoma. I had noticed on my Tacoma a slight increase in body roll exiting the interstate but as far as the drive goes, it was just like having an IFS. It did make a positive...

    Caliper rattles/clanks

    I have always noticed that after applying the brakes when reversing, as soon as you apply the brakes going forward, the calipers clank. This same noise happened on my Tacoma too. Now I am getting a clanking sound everytime I apply my brakes going forward. It seems to be getting worse. I put new...
