I have a 4Runner and F150 (2009 Supercrew XLT 2WD 4.6L V8). I love my F150. It’s been a great truck.

Double checking suspension setup for 2008 V8... Removing stock shocks, stock springs, and corn fed 3/2 spacer lift. Purchased Bilstein 5100’s (height adjustable front 24-239370, rear 33-187174) and OME coils (front 2885, rear 2895). Wheeler’s says 2885s raise the front of a stock 03-09 around...

Did you notice any difference with and without the update? (Was it worth it to make them switch out the ECU?)

Hmm I wonder what the “certain speeds and conditions” are? If it really doesn’t ever activate in low range then I suppose it’s alright Thanks for the input!

Took the 4Runner to the dealer this morning for an oil change and NC state inspection. Service was really busy, so they asked if I could leave it for a few hours. My wife picked me up, and this afternoon I got a call from the dealer saying it was ready. When I went back, the service advisor...

888-638-6048 | Natural White 2006 Toyota 4Runner Limited in Matthews North Carolina serving Charlotte Mint Hill Indian Trail Was this the one?

Any updates? Specifically, estimated install hours or dollars, or instructions? Also above comment said "for the most part, I am very satisfied" with the headers, why not just very satisfied? Any negatives besides cost/install? Love my 4runner but it is starting to tick on a cold start.

I just removed the 265/70/17 Michelin LTX M/S2 tires which came on my 4runner, and replaced them with Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure / Kevlar in the same size. The Michelins were decent tires. They were quiet, rode well, and wore evenly. We went full on, 4-low and diff locked...

I got a V8. I'd have bought a V6 if I'd found a nice one, looked at quite a few before I purchased. Here was my list. 1. Rust free (or nearly rust free) frame and components. A very little bit of rust is fine, but you don't want too much- and from what I saw, these 4runners can get rusty, and...

I'd agree that 23 is all the money

That's a great price and warranty on the 3.4L, assuming it will bolt in without too much trouble and extra expense.. I want to say that engine was used in 4th gens in other markets? Might get better fuel economy too?

Just saw this; funny because the OP rained on my "fair price for 4runner I want" post by saying my 2008 was overpriced, but is now asking $20k for his... Quote from OP: "still paying almost full dealer retail in this economy, is it even an limited? ...i feel you can get a better deal for 20k"

I own THREE (3ea) V8s... 2008 4runner, 2009 F150 and 2006 Mustang. Test drove both a 4th gen V6 4runner and a 5th gen 4runner. On the same test course (including merging onto a highway) the V6s absolutely got the job done, they just SEEMED like they worked a lot harder to do it (noise and revs...

Why was it repainted?

Hey, I'm in NC too. Our entire market is a couple thousand high. *IF* it is rust free (much harder here than else were) and everything works, that's not a bad deal for these parts. Only 2 owners, that's good. Let us know...
