Replacing the condenser was recommended for me as well. I watched a how-to video on replacing it and said, 'absolutely not.'

This was a great video on the compressor replacement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVZ0A5nocoQ And this one for recharging the AC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EqdrBVb0sY I went with a Denso compressor from AutoZone and borrowed the AC tool from them as well. Follow the videos step by...

AC went out last week on my 03 V8. Shop quoted $2,600 to replace and recharge. While I have never dabbled in vehicle AC, after reading a few tutorials here, and some Youtube courage, I replaced it myself. After parts and refrigerant, I saved just a hair over $2,000. Thanks to this forum for...

If you are doing the flush using the line up at the radiator, do you still need to drain the fluid from the pan first?

I get that the bumper is different, but don't you cut most of that off when installing something like an ARB or Ironman bumper?

I see that most of the well-respected bumper manufacturers don't offer a front bumper/winch bumper for the Limited models. What part of the vehicle architecture prevents an ARB or Ironman bumper from being fitted to a Limited? Is it simply because the body/bumper lines won't match up, as the...

Seats look great! Do you have a thread on 'blacking out' your interior? I hate the tan interior, and have often thought about what it would take to convert it to black or grey.

It's a Wilco Hitchgate.

I've been fighting off the urge to get a new(er) GX460 for a while now. Absolutely nothing wrong with my 4Runner--I love it, and there's no reason to replace it with a GX--just some 'want.' So I decided to knock out a little bit of 'Love my 4Runner again' stuff that makes me smile when I drive...

I have an 03 SR5, non-JBL with the 6 disc CD changer in the center console that I'd like to replace the head unit in to get some more modern radio features. But I'm old, and most of my music is still on CDs, so I'd like to keep the 6 disc CD changer, if possible. I have not taken the dash...

Man, there's an incredible amount of information in this thread. And I'm not much of an audiophile, so I don't understand most of it! I skimmed most of the thread looking for any mention of this but didn't see it. I have an 03 non-JBL, with the 6-disc CD changer in the center console. I'd...

I never liked the stock alloy rims, so I replaced them with some steel spare-tire rims. 265/75-16 Cooper ST MAXX

I have never liked the stock alloy rims that came on my 4th Gen. I have always liked the old Land Cruiser 'steelie' wheel look, so I finally did something about it. Yucky old stock rims a few weeks ago at Windrock: New steel wheels with 265 75r 16 Cooper ST Maxx

Yeah, I’m good on that—I’ve got an SR5 with the smaller brakes and 16” alloy rims. Just wanted to make sure there wasn’t a change that I wasn’t Aware of between 03 and 04.
