Hi there, Next in line. I live in Idaho too. Long time member so feel free to IM me. Thank you!

Ah so maybe better news for those of us who don't live in CA?

Ok so jumping in on this thread. Just starting to notice a bit of bluish smoke on cold start up on my 03. Sounds like I'd better get going on replacing the headers soon next. Just about to roll 300,000 so I got my monies worth! If DT is way on back order, do you just get on that list now or...

Did some research today & went to AutoZone to have the battery & alternator checked, and both are fine. Ultimately I cannot remember the last time I did a brake system fluid flush & refill. I know I've done it, but I cannot remember when. So thus that must be due. I think I had a bubble in...

That's about the going rate for refurb's on ebay. Some of them give you money if you send yours back. That one looks good to me too. Except for the cost. Going to take me a while to be able to get one.

My turn...I got all the codes thrown today, and so I'm on the hunt. Reviving this thread to see if anyone is online who when through this and where they ended up getting the part. Thanks!

Whelp....just in case any others run into this. I called Toyota. They only do 10 years worth of updates so the 2013 is the latest...and last. That's fine...its what the cell phone is for.

Hi all. I searched and all I can find is from 2007 when J.A. last updated his thread. I just recently went from taking my 4Runner in to get detailed and that ended up with me having to buy a newly refurbished radio. Yeah you read that right. When I dropped off my vehicle to get detailed the...

I'm looking into doing the same for my 03 JBL Limited too. Mainly because I'd love to have the handsfree bluetooth and/or the back up camera.

Soon......guess I'll need to update my signature line too.

I re-read one of Mike's posts today. So just doing the "raising the glass in thanks" toast to Mike. And bumping up this well deserved thread to keep his memory at the top. Someone else can do the same again in 8 months. Thanks Mike. :beer:

Yes.

I'm fairly sure that's when Toyota started mucking about with the V8 for the 4Runner and thus ruined it. All I know is that the last best year to get one was 2005. This question would probably be best asked as a new thread and not here where it isn't going to get much attention.

Ha! I'm here to see if my 4Runner will be fine with a 2,300 pound 2 horse slant load trailer and one 1,000 pound buckskin mare. Yes I'll be doing a brake upgrade on the 4Runner and the brake assist controller. So with the V8 I know it's fine to pull, and doing the upgrade on the brakes and...

My 2014 OME suspension is going to be replaced by the end of the month. I have multiple things failing at the same time and have decided I'd rather do several thousand on entirely new suspension, and replacing the UCA & LCA and all the other components, instead of selling the 4Runner and paying...
