I tried jumping and charging the battery to no avail. Ended up getting a new battery, and obviously the car cranked up. The guy at advanced auto said that when the car is running, the charge from the cars system should be reading north of 13.9 volts -- thats what the alternator puts out. If...

Ive replaced the battery in my 2006 SR5 three times since 2015, at approximately 24 months of life each. Typically the starting begins to slow, maybe for a month or so, then it will eventually die. I was always able to get a few extra weeks by jumping it and getting it on the highway, but it...

Ok, thanks Thanks everyone, appreciate the feedback. Ill abandon this effort, but do have a question: So, what is the actual towing capacity of a V8 SR5 T4R? Manual says 7000 lbs. What does that even mean? The trailer is under 7000lbs GVWR, and the hitch weight will fit into the GVWR...

Looking to tow the following setup. Its a RV trailer. Trailer: Grey Wolf 24JS | Forest River RV - Manufacturer of Travel Trailers - Fifth Wheels - Tent Campers - Motorhomes GVWR:7470 lb Hitch Weight: 470 lb My T4r: 2006 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Sport V8 4x4 Specs and Prices GVWR: 6005 lb. "Combined...

Im looking to rent an RV (link) next month. It requires 5800 lbs towing capacity, and it appears by 2006 V8 SR5 will tow the 7000, so good to go. Question I have is on electric brakes. As you can see from the RV description, it requires electric brakes. Im fairly certain my 4runner doesnt have...

I do own/drive a T4R, but this is an issue with my other car, which is not a 4runner. Its a GMC Acadia, and its complete garbage, but I know you all are smart folks and Ive received little/no help on an Acadia Forum. Im having some pretty bad wheel shake at 70 mph (settles down above/below 70)...

RobD Can you help provide the amazon link where i can buy those clips? V8Man are you referring to the tab on the trim that the clip attaches to? Im not sure what you mean by tab.

Sorry, but Im having a really hard time using that car-parts website. Any idea what sort of part this would be? Its not very intuitive.

So i just got the part out, and realized i maybe need to buy a new panel after all. All of the connection parts where the rivets attach to the panel are broken off. What in hell did my wife do?!

Yep, got it. thanks. I may just buy the clips and try to buff out the damage on the part. This thing is 12 years old, and as you can see from the photo, struggling in a lot of areas!

Yep, ouch. $396. I guess thats what it costs! I may try to go to a junk yard first. I thought i'd be able to find it online for $100 or something. thx for the links, appreciate it!

My wife came home one day and this trim panel was hanging by a thread. It pretty much broke off and all the plastic rivets are smashed. The panel itself is pretty beat up too. Looks like someone hit her in a parking lot. Where can I buy this panel, already painted? 2006 4runner Sr5

Ive come along way since this mistake. Have done numerous brakes, and just changed both front CV axle's this wknd. Just wanted yall to know!

precisely those. Front. 2106 4runner SR5 v8 4.7L

I need to replace those flexible z-shaped break lines that attach to the caliper. I damaged one the other day doing breaks, and it sprung a leak. I got it back where its not leaking, but rather just replace them. all the part numbers I find look completely different. All i can find is actual...
