I think it was for a dent removal. I can see a tiny ripple above one of them looks like where a small dent was pushed out. Thanks guys. I've only had it a couple of days and actually have a few days more to inspect it before I commit to keeping it. Just trying to make sure there was no major...

I'm trying to understand what these plugs over my rear passenger door are. This is on a 2016 SR5 Premium that I just purchased. I only have them over that one door.

Installed one of these on a 2wd 4runner over the weekend. It was extremely simple. The new assembly went on easily and eliminated my front end noise. I'll be back when the the other side goes.

I ordered the part from Bumper2Bumper as well. It was painless to install and got rid of my roaring noise. Will definitely use him again if I need another.

I think you're right. From the pics in this thread it looks like the hub shaft is threaded on the inside. Once the hub nut is installed, the hub and bearing assembly are secure eliminating the need for the axle nut. Custom 4X4 and 4X2 hub bearing assemblies! Order them here! - Tacoma World...

I understand that the bearing is pressed into the hub, but that can't possibly be all that is holding the hub on. The hub and bearing while pressed together are 2 different parts and could potentially separate. The axle nut on the 4wd keeps that from happening. I'm trying to understand what...

It seems with no axle nut there is nothing to keep the hub and the bearing from separating. The wheel is secured to the hub and the bearing is secured by those 4 bolts. Something needs to secure the hub to the vehicle. What am I missing?

I think my driver's side front wheel bearing is going out and I'm looking at these full assemblies to replace it myself. I can find videos and pics of the job on a 4x4, but I'm not finding any that show how to do the job on a 4x2. The 2wd doesn't have the hub nut so I'm not clear what holds...

Has anybody mix and matched GR2 shocks and Excel Gs? Amazon sent me one of each for the rear. The part number is the same, but I'm reluctant to put what appears to be mismatched shocks on my 4runner. The manufacturer makes it sound like the only difference is the color.

I replaced several of these bulbs this week. I believe 90010-09015 is the toyota part number for the long bulbs. The bulb itself is clear, you just remove the yellow or in my case green nipple and put it on the new blub. Instead of paying 5 bucks for the bulb at Toyota I actually went to...

That's a sweet bay boat. Your 4runner will have no problem towing it. The only thing I would be cautious of if you are towing at highway speeds is your transmission jumping in and out of overdrive. If this happens just manually shift to 4th and leave it there to avoid the excessive heat that...

I got new tires and an alignment this week. My alignment report showed a pretty significant toe adjustment on the right front, a slight toe adjustment on the left front, and a very slight camber adjustment on the right rear. I bought this thing with almost 40K miles on it so I don't know the...

I've got an 03 with about 70K miles on it and my cross terrains are getting close to worn out. I was checking them yesterday and noticed that all 4 tires have significantly more wear on the inside than the outside. In fact, if you measure the tread on the inside it's time to replace them now...

I emailed toyota and requested a build sheet for my VIN, I believe from here: http://toyota.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/toyota.cfg/php/enduser/ask_intercept.php They replied with the following list of options on my vehicle. 17" Aluminum Wheels w/P265/65r 17 Tires Sr5 Appearance Package Color-Keyed...
