I do understand that, but he claims that the drum is somehow affecting the performance of the rotors? I've never heard of that...ever. I think your right though, I'll take it somewhere else to see what they say.

My Gen 4 is having issue's while braking and a mech who put on my new Michelin Defenders, (awesome BTW) told me my drum brakes where worn and that the drum itself looks warped. The little lady has 223,000 miles on her so I'm figuring some new brakes all around with new drums would be a nice...

Several of my wheel hubs and center caps have gone missing over the last few months. Two are cracked but still in place and the others have just vanished. :der: Where is the best place to purchase these? Don't want garbage replacement parts, but don't want to take out a small mortgage...

My 2007 4-Runner needs a new set of tires. I'm looking to put a really nice set on her "IF" they improve the ride. Truck is a daily use commute truck. No towing, no heavy work at all, just back and forth to work. I replaced the shocks 3 years ago with "Bilsteins" thinking this would improve the...

Perfect thank you. Now I just have to figure out how to pay using multiple visa "Gift cards".

Perfect, will do, thanks!

Looking to buy a driver side visor with mirror and good seat covers for my brides 2007 4-Runner. 1. Need some recommendations on decent front seat covers. Budget...$150 or so. 2. Need a replacement visor, driver side with mirror. Any place better then any other? Thanks in advance! :usa2:

I think he's looking at something cheap like that as well, but as you can see, I'm trying to steer him away from that. But....if he insists, it is his money to do what he wants with. Can you tell me which one you purchased?

Fantastic response and exactly what I was hoping someone said. He has "No Clue" why he wants one, just that he does! I will send him this post and hope he "see's the Light"....:biggrin1: Sorry, couldn't help myself. Also, thanks for the web-sites.

Fairly new to this forum, so searching skills still suck! :becky: My son has a 2003 and wants a light bar. He's been looking at some that only cost around $65.00 bucks. While I have zero expereince with light bars, I do know that you get what ya pay for, and $65.00 bucks seems very cheap to me...

2007 4-Runner needs a new alternator. It's got 198,900 miles on her and I plan on keeping her for another 100,000 at least. I'm assuming an OEM alternator will be big bucks! But, would most likely last another 200,000 if the truck lasts that long, which it very well may. Question is: Is...

I'm having difficulty locating any place to buy a center cap for a wheel on a 2007 4-Runner. Any help would be appreciated. If you could respond here AS WELL AS "PM" me so I'll be assured of getting the info I would really appreciate it. Thanks!:hatsoff:

OP...he's not kidding about his offer, take him up on it. Trust me when I say he's a "Good Soul" :nod:

Exactly what I need as well. I'm having a very hard time trying to find the part number, or a diagram. Here's to hoping some folks chime in.

I just wanted to update this thread regarding the cap that "Rodtheviking" sent me. Completely free of charge, and he wouldn't even accept shipping costs. My bride and I have been away for a while traveling between MD Anderson in Houston TX and FL. She's been battling cancer for 2.5 years now...
