    Used tires and new spare?

    Have been driving on them for quite some time now with no apparent negatives. No problems at all fitting the Duratrac in 265/70R17 underneath.

    Engine Number Location Explained

    Having just gone through this only to find mine nearly unreadable, it turns out that the service department can pull up your engine number as well. Mine started with 2UZ-FE, but after some explanation about that actually being a model number, they were able to find the actual number in their...

    Used tires and new spare?

    Pretty much what I was thinking ...but wanted to run it by the experts first. Dealership answer was that there could be no more than 1/32nd in difference, but I suspected that might have been an effort to sell a brand new set. Thanks for the quick responses! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897...

    Used tires and new spare?

    I have 4 Goodyear duratrac 265/70r17's which have 15.5/32nds of tread left (new is 18/32nds) on my full-time 4wd v8. I'd like to get a spare (exactly the same tire, just new) and work it into the rotation. Does toyota have a specification for the maximum tread depth difference on the full-time...

    xreas system and UCA's from 2005 Limited (70k miles)

    I just uninstalled my xreas system and stock UCA's from my 2005 4runner Limited. Everything was disconnected properly at 70k miles and kept intact (no fluid leakage). No problems or complaints with the system, just moved to an OW 2.5 setup with LR UCA's. Everything, except for the plastic...

    Expirence with Scanners and data logging

    Doesn't meet your price point, but I've used AutoEnginuity for the last few years. Haven't tried it on the 4Runner yet, but it's worked without a hitch on my Ford and Honda vehicles.

    rfc's build thread

    Very happy with them so far. They do get dirty quick (which shows me the abuse the carpet mats were taking) but wipe right off. They're deep enough that they'd hold a lot of liquid before spilling out into the interior. My only negatives thus far are: Ridges inside are very shallow - won't...

    Weathertech Digital Fit Floor Mats Tan mats on a tan interior. Not as close a match as I was hoping for, but I still think they look good. Drivers Front: Passenger Front: Second Row: Cargo: Still not delivered :(

    rfc's build thread

    Kenwood DNX-8120 / CCD-2000 Pretty straightforward install (following a few threads on here), with a few minor gotchas along the way. The trim kit from Crutchfield didn't fit the head unit - nothing a bit of filing couldn't fix though! Hardest part of the whole thing was fishing the camera...

    rfc's build thread

    Figured there weren't too many build threads for red 4th gen's, so here's mine. This is new (to me) as of September 2010, so I'm just getting started... :naughty: Owner: "rfc" Location: Baltimore, MD 2005 4Runner 4x4 Limited v8 - Salsa Red Current mods: Lighting Xenon Depot Xtreme HID...

    Comprehensive Review - XenonDepot 4300K HID kit in 2003 Limited V8 4WD

    I ordered a tan set (front, second row, cargo) at the same time as my HID's -when they get in I'll take some pics installed for you (my interior is tan). Might even have to start a build thread...

    Comprehensive Review - XenonDepot 4300K HID kit in 2003 Limited V8 4WD

    I've only had about 6 hours or so of on-time so far, so based on Steve's estimate of 100 hours to break in, I've still got a good while to go. That said, the light output is much better than I expected and very consistent across the illuminated area. Easily twice as bright as stock, and even...
