Thanks man, i really appreciate the time to help. I guess once i get the axle swapped over i'll post some pictures and what not.

Thats great to hear! Any idea how idea how to find out if it is the 8.2? From what i read- pretty much all these 5th gen 4runners are 8.2 rear ends? The donor 4runner is a 4x2[5th gen] and mine is a 4x4[4th gen]- any possible issues with gearing? I'm asking the guy for the VIN so hopefully i...

Will a 5th gen axle fit on my 4th gen? I don't care about the performance upgrade and stuff. I just want to know if it's a direct component swap? Details- 2006 v6 4runner with 180k miles. Rear end is shot. Shop is saying I pretty much need all the rear axle guts and seals. If they're new OEM...

That's awesome, I have a entire brake service(new powerstop rotors and pads) to do on Wednesday and i'll certainly be stepping up and taking care of this at the same time. Hopefully this is the reason for my OEM rotors warping and not my wife driving like a mad lady lol Could be the reason why...

FYI Simple green IS corrosive to aluminum. It is indeed a good cleaner of nearly all things it should be noted and remembered. While it won't melt the block I just like to make sure people know before spraying it on everything they see.

gah, I should have bought the katskins on craigslist locally for $600 when I saw them. But your leather looks good. I'll probably be upgrading in a year.

Woah, some of those dashes look just nasty. I couldn't deal with it. luckily mine hasn't cracked yet which is surprising. My wife commented on how dry the dash was a couple months ago and I soaked the heck out of it with a interior spray of some sorts. It took a couple of times but it's now...

In 2010 I paid $20k for my 06' V6 SR5 with 80kmi. I sure as hell wouldn't pay $17k. I would say $14K MAX. I can get the same truck private in a private sell for $10k. Just remember one thing when buying a car. They need to sell the car more than you need to buy it.

My Toyota dealer said something like $1,200. I laughed at the service writers face then walked to the parts counter and bought the Boot package that includes grease. Took me 4 hours probably, in a condo parking lot at night with not enough tools and no place to clean stuff. If I had to do it...

I'm currently using the $25 kit on amazon. All interior plus reverse lights. They work good. No issues so far, a simple plug and play kit. I would certainly recommend it.

I will advise to stay way from general grabber 2's. I had a set of them on my 2500hd truck and two of the rears blew on the freeway and the fronts had a groove of tread that fell off. I won't even ride in a car if it has general tires I don't trust them that much.

I had The wranglers All terrains for 7 years. No failures no holes. The only reason I replaced them was because of the age. They didn't even dry rot on the side walls like most tires do. The was plenty of tread left too. I replaced them 6 months ago with wranglers all adventures. Same basic...

Awesome, I was looking at my grille a year ago and was thinking of putting one in there in the same spot. But now that the light bars are cheaper and I've seen the effectiveness of the light in the location I'll definelty be doing this. I was afraid the light wouldn't be as useful that low. But...

Sweet lets see mkre

I've opened the inside of my hatch. No way it would hold a tire. Ever. Build/buy a steel bumper with a tire carrier.
