I have had no issues with the factory Tundra coils and struts on my 1997 4 Runner. It gave me about 2 to 2 1/2" lift and there are no alignment issues with the front driveline. The ride is very comfortable, as I also put new coil springs and shocks on the back, at the same time. I purchased...

Anyone on here did the work to connect a 7 pin trailer plug, so that a person can pull a trailer? If so, what product did you use? CURT, E-Trailer, etc... I am looking for a wiring harness and instructions for my 97 4Runner.

I and my buddy have a 1988 Toyota truck and we need a front end wiring harness. The engine had a firs and the wiring harness looks like it is finished. The truck has a 22RE engine and we are interested in the wiring for the engine compartment.

I drive my 97 to work daily and I average 17 to 18 MPG. I also can get over 300 miles on a full tank. When I say full, I mean it is filled to the very top of the fill tube. My average speed in my daily trips is around 72 MPH. I have 8 miles of Interstate that I travekl at speeds of 75 to 80...

Slightly new to the Toyota world. Clarify big 3 for electrical, please. Will the alternator upgrade work without it?

What are others using as an upgrade to their TR4s? I have a 1997 4 Runner and am considering an upgrade to the alternator. I want to know what each of you have put into yours and what issues you may have experieinced in the change over.

Look for a shop in a small town. I live close to Emporia, Kansas and the shops in my area work with me to get me what I want, not what they think I want. My son even travels to Emporia from where he lives in Wichita to get work done. This is for two reasons---The labor is cheaper and the...

If you want a brighter bulb, but not a change in wattage, the Vision X bulbs is a good choice.

Just a thought on my part, get the idiot to remove it. Otherwise you will have to put pressure on the long bolt and hit it with an impact wrench. Once everything has broken loose and nothing is still welded to the frame, then you can fix the problem right. You do realize that this is not...

I can only say, that EVERY time oyu dump a bottle of oil into your crankcase, it contains an unknown substance, UNLESS you test each and every bottle prior to adding it. I work at a Nuke plant and talk about handling oils to a spec number, lot number, batch number and then check it prior to...

The factory parts on my 1997 4 Runner are doing just what they were designed to do. RUST!!! I have an ARB bumper on the front and I want something that is not overly heavy but aligns with the ARB if I can find it. I don't normally crawl over rocks, but do want to keep the rear protected if I...

I could care less about the protection for the windshield. I just want the investment in the paint on my hood to last. I can replace glass a lot cheaper than I can get the hood repainted.

I purchased a new deflecor for mine, but did not like the flipped up part, so I ran it through my small table saw and took off about 1.5" and now I have a really nice hood protector.

I did my shock change out about 8 months ago and Wheelers offered up the bushings as I ordered the shocks. Front and back.
