So, I broke the key where the plastic piece inside the fob housing holds the actual metal part that comes out on my wife's 4Runner... I tried snapping it back together, but it didn't hold. I had heard or seen somewhere on the interwebs that you can call the Stealership and give your VIN and they...

So an update on the wire harness episode... In the end with limited junk yards by me and not knowing if there was further wiring missing that I didn't see right away, I went ahead and opened a claim with my insurance company. It ended up costing me my deductible twice (story coming) however I...

Thank you RigTec. I'm searching around the web now trying to find those parts. I may stop by the dealership today to see worst case scenario what the cost would be to order them through Toyota.

Hey All, My wife went out to fire up the 4Runner on Thursday and saw the dash lit up like a Xmas tree with sensors. Come to find out a bunch of wiring appears to have been chewed through by a rodent. I'm wondering if any of you know what this type of sensor harness is called and where I can...

Any chance of doing something like this for 2020? I even like the location since it's about a mile from my house. For a solid turnout, I'd also like to invite the Tacoma and FJ guys.... Sound off if you think you'd be interested.

Hey T4R, I'm sure I'm not the first one to have this issue, so I'm reaching out to the community for help. I'm the proud owner of a 2013 4Runner SR5 Premium, and for whatever reason I can't get the Entune app on my phone to sync up with my 4Runner. I've done the software update to 5.2 and it...

Never mind... I found replacement bolts with washers for $0.87 on ToyotaOverstock.com

So, in my fit of frustration trying to hook the battery back up to my '99 4Runner, I dropped and lost the bolt that holds the battery clamp into the frame in the front of the battery. Anyone off the top of their head know what size that is? Hopefully it's just something I can pick up at Home...

The last new car I bought was my '04 Tacoma Extra Cab TRD PreRunner. I did a few small mods like adding a 3" ToyTec suspension kit, slightly bigger tires, a utility bed bar, and a Uniden 510 CB for off road. I still own it, I'm the only one who has ever driven it and all 196,000 miles it has...

I won't be able to make it this year, but if you guys don't mind a guy driving in from Ohio I'd be happy to join in on the fun next year.

So, I just replaced the upper radiator hose in my 3.4 V6. I went into my local AutoZone and bought one, came home to trim it a bit and install it. I didn't like the way it fit, and the bend put it right over the fan where I got maybe a half-inch of clearance. Long story short, I checked it a...

Thank you I need to thank both David and Yella for their insight and responses. While the little black box was not in the panel behind the tail light, I did find it underneath by the hitch itself wrapped in a whole roll of electrical tape. After some time with my knife and a few curse words...

Guys, last night driving home my turn signal fuse blew. No big deal, I stock extras in the garage. I replaced it, checked it and everything was fine for about a minute then it blew again. I replaced the 2nd one and same issue... Have any of you guys had this problem and how did you deal with it?

Hey all! I need to replace the shocks in my 1999 4Runner and I figured I'd replace the front springs while I was at it. I don't off-road near as much as I used to, but I want something that will perform both on and off road. I'm leaning towards a set of Rancho RS5000's but wanted to get some...

So, the paint on the hood of my '99 4Runner is coming off. The truck is 15 years old and I'm actually amazed that it's lasted that long. I'm thinking about going to one of those Sherwin-Williams Automotive paint places and buying the paint to spray the hood myself. I'm certain that the most...
