I changed both my front cv axles on my 2004 4x4 recently at 105k miles at the dealership. Never thought about aftermarket??

Amazon shows these cargo covers for $114.00 new.

Glad this thread popped up; mine is dangling like an old...insulation piece. Going to rip it off. Probably more of a hazard anyways if it falls far enough to burn on the engine or something.

First thing in the morning, get an occasional chirp from the engine and goes away once warmed up. Recently had belt changed at dealer, but still noticed it after. Possible tensioner?? Secondly, I rode my 4runner hard this weekend offroad and my engine now sounds like it winds up and down with...

Says posting is expired. But if you renew it I can just look there, thanks.

Any pics?

I would save up more $$ and get coilovers if you are going to do springs. 90k miles the springs the shocks/struts have wear on them anyways. Not sure of spacers; because I always upgraded more than that.

Great thinking everyone, now I think I will go hit something!! j/k but does make me want to, so I can get a nice new bumper.

Thanks for help. Yes it is a good 1 " at least. Of course I filled up this morning and then measured. I will try spacer.

Did a TJM 2" lift and I noticed there is about an 11/2 to 2" difference of height on the right rear tire to top of wheel well and the left rear is lower. Is this normal lean of the 4th gen. 4runner? Had an 08' Tacoma and it leaned left, but it was from the fuel tank being on that side. Just...

Count me in for a set of 17" gunmetal.

Yes it did lift it about 4"s from tire to top of fender. No diff drop required per Toytec lifts. I had an 08' 4x4 taco with a OME and my axle went out, but can't confirm if it was the lift. I heard Toyota's axles in general don't do too well from other forums. I guess it pays to play...
