Right on. P&P was my orginal plan , unfortunately VA Beach location isn't Toyota 4-Run , Tacoma friendly little to none ever in stock. They currently have 2003. It has been on lot since 8/22/22 not looking so good. But yeah If springs were worn out , I would go on salvage yard hunt , find & clean

Finding FOB for my 96 4-Runner Limited hasnÂ’t been so easy. I took look @ ECU box under seat finding unfriendly numbers that donÂ’t pair well with 3rd Gen FOBs available. Does anybody know were I can find one that works? Thanks
