dont know how helpful this is, but i rebuild my actuator (took out all the gears and put them back in inside by the center diff) it took me about 3-4 times. meaning i would put it together and then try to engage all the modes. everytime i would have an issue, i would take it apart and move a...

nice rig, looks like you took great care of it. care to share the location of the trial?

here is my .02 cents. i have a 2006 4runner with the 4.0 that has a blown headgasket. i did the compression test and it read 175-185 all across. The cylinder that was was leaking was reading at 185 actually. how i knew it was blown was the coolant would disappear front the radiator and the...

Ebay LCA Lower control arms I got the ebay LCA and i use my 4Runner for more off roading then the average person on here i bet. I take it to trails at least 2x a week. And these are serious trails. I had no complaints at all. Only issue installing these on my 4Runner was that one of the cam...

here in Sacramento where the altitude is about 150 above sea level, i got 180-185 PSI all across 6 cylinders. I did the test with all spark plugs out and cranking it about 5 times. I do have a blown head gasket in cylinder number 4. and it read 185psi as well.

That would make sense actually. Man, I really love this 4Runner, just sucking me dry lol. Getting expensive. I will look to find another engine 2006-2009. The problem is that most of them have higher mileage already. Which should still be fine I guess I have no idea what engine was swapped...

hey guys. Love this forum. I have a 2006 4Runner v6 4.0 with 202k on it. i dumped about 2k into this car on top of what i bought it for and i love it so far. I bought bilstien 5100. OME springs. Took care of all the maintenance. Got 5th gen trail rims on. Falken Wildpeaks AT3 285-70-R17. I...

I recently got rid of my xreas and installed 5100's and the 885-895 springs on my 2006 v6 4Runner. on the road, they are amazing, i was going thru some twisties today and it felt a little like a sports car. didn't lean as much and hugged the corners. But a complaint that i have is that they...

why not? Change the diff fluid. Nothing bad can come from that. Only good. you will be protecting your diffs and might pick up a MPG or 2. as for transmission....i had 195k when i did my first flush. Like drain it all out of the lines that run to the radiator. 6k miles later i have no issues...

what dates are you planning to go? I will also be in Moab around october 13-18th.

love the red ones interior. so clean. do you mind sharing how you keep it so clean? what products you use?

all the cars i had and my family has, we always just buy the mobil1 fully synthetic from wall mart for $25-ish and the fram filter. we have no issues. Its $30-$35 so not to painful on the wallet from the small research i did, the high mileage mobil1 oil is that is comes with cleaning...

loved your 4runner. cant wait to see what you do with your tacoma. also love seeing that your wife enjoyed the rig as well. took a little convincing to get my wife to drive the 4runner off road.

Love it. Looks amazing. Makes me want to re tint mine. Also the tires look TALL!! Lots of ground clearance now.

not scaring you or anything but that is exactly what happened to me. 4x4 works great I install 285-70-R17 tires have this flashing lights once in a while. works after i restart the 4Runner. Go to sand dunes in a week and actuator decides to take a crap on me.
