Are these still available? The grill surround on my Sport went all wavy, so I wanted to upgrade. Thanks! Randy

Just did my '08 Sport Edition V8 - the TPMS computer is a dark green instead of the orange one in the photos of the '05, but it is molded with TPMS Computer right on it, so it is still a no brainer. It was a PINK with BLACK stripe and a BLACK with RED stripe (caps added for clarity). I just...

I installed my Toytec Boss kit yesterday. I also swapped the wheels/tires with the Trail Premium (2016) wheels/tires. I plasti-dipped them black because I like the look, and to protect the wheels (they were brand new take-offs). For now, I am sticking with the stock 265/70R17 tires that came...

I know the Trail Premium wheels are a 15mm offset, while the 2008 (4th Gen) 4Runner Sport Edition wheels are 30mm. Both are 17x7.5". Mostly all of the Toyota wheels will fit on the hub of any 4Runner, but the offsets are different between year and wheel models (TRD is 0mm offset I believe)...

Do you know if the 4th gen (Sport Edition) center caps would fit? I'm in Houston - shipping to here? Thanks bud!

Any other sources for these switches? Thanks!

Any idea how much shipping would be to 77381? Any rear springs? Thanks, Randy

Here's a photo of my new rig (info posted above):

Super excited to have just gotten mine! I picked up a one owner, no accident, ZERO rust '08 Sport Edition V8 4WD with an excellent maintenance history that literally looks brand new - always garaged and a Southern California truck - for $14,900. Trade-in at a dealer, which meant that included...

I found three that are between 101,000 and 145,000 miles with clean chassis, no accidents, good maintenance history and none of the "known" 4th gen problems. Two galactic gray micas and one natural white. All three are Limiteds (which do not have XREAS) and I'm ok with that because I have an...

Just spent a day reading all 73 pages of your build. Brilliant. Thanks for all of the help! Some stereo stuff, electrical (DSC off), and a ton of suspension work/development. Throw in wheels/tires too! Really nice documentation. I appreciate all of your hard work.

Thanks Steve - too rich for my blood, but really nice truck!

What's the lowest price you would sell for (most of us realize by now that just because you have an amount into a vehicle doesn't mean it will fetch that)? How many miles? Thanks! Randy

I think it looks great - I did similar to our family truckster Suburban (that was dark grey) and it looks mean. I like the Darth Vader look.

Any paperwork on the "newer" engine from the previous owner and current mileage on that engine? Any accidents? How about the radiator flush history? Any oil leaks/diff leaks? The ad says new shock and lift spring for the rear - why would it need the Fox shocks in the rear - just for matching...
