TY both above for the suggestions. I'll give them a go this weekend. Good news is we bought a new Grand Highlander so the pressure is off a little bit to get this sorted out.

Bringing this to the top... When it rains it pours. Two weeks ago my car also went into limp mode and pulled a P2445 code (secondary air injection pump stuck open). I have a bypass kit so was lost as to why this happened. I pulled the negative battery terminal overnight, wiped the code, and...

I've had the Slyfox bypass installed since 2022 with no issues, yet as I was casually driving down the highway my car went into limp mode and the CEL and VSC lights came on. I got home to my scanner and pulled the P2445 code (secondary air injection system pump stuck off bank 1). I thought...

I pulled the two radio fuses and sure enough any rumbling and electrical noises disappeared, leading me to believe that there is some grounding issue with the head unit. I'm assuming something has just shaken loose and I'll be doing a deeper dive this week. I also hit the intermediate shaft...

Hi All, recently my 2006 V8 Limited started making a strange rumbling sound from the passenger side dash, in addition to an electrical whine through the speakers. Even the electric brake booster noise was amplified. My first guess was a failing alternator; however, I think the issue may be...

My car passed MA emissions recently with this mod. If it can pass in MA and CA, it can pass anywhere. This seems like a lot of paranoia for nothing.

Same, Toyota emblem only. Wife opened the package and said wtf is? Had to explain to her that it's part of a new grill I ordered unnecessarily and the other part must be stuck in the pacific which I may or may not ever receive it. Here's hoping..

Hi all. Looking for a driver side fog light housing for a 4th gen (2006-2008). Smashed a loose garbage barrel on the highway which cracked my front bumper and absolutely exploded the fog light. Thanks!

Welp, it finally happened to my 06' V8 with 133,000 miles. Started hearing the noise last week at start up and took until yesterday to learn what was going on. Luckily no codes have been thrown yet and I will stop driving the car until the fix is in. SlyFox, an email awaits you.

Just bought my first 4Runner after an exhausting 2 month daily search and multiple test drives. 2006 limited v8 w/ 128,000 for $10k. Feel like I stole it given the market in New England.

Oh Trust me, I tried everything. I had my phone on me and was searching the forum for tricks/tips on engaging 4lo and none of them worked. I hear yea on the price premium. My mindset is either get an older (4th gen) reliable 4Runner for reasonable money, or just go all out and get a newer one. I...

Welp, finally got around to test driving a 4th gen. Super clean 2008 Urban Runner with 85,000 miles. Only problem was it wouldn't shift into 4lo and the dealership wouldn't budge a DIME off the sale price of $15,990. No way can I justify spending $18k all said and done on a 12 year old car...

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately this one sold in just one day and I didn't even have the opportunity to test drive. Feel like I missed a good one. The search continues.

Hi all! Back on the 4runner bandwagon after falling out of love with my Genesis Coupe and needing something more practical. What do you guys think of this deal? $14.5k for a 2008 V8 limited with 104,000 miles: used 2008 Toyota 4Runner Limited in North Dartmouth, MA | Providence Toyota 4Runner |...

Hey guys..hate to post this here, but I found this 4runner for sale and am going to test drive it this weekend: 2006 Toyota 4Runner SR5, $14,990 - Cars.com A 2006 with only 85,000 miles for about $15,000. Does this seem fair?
