Still working fine. No heat issues with the Beamtech led bulbs without a fan.

Wow. I may have the best trick ever. I don't know where I saw this but i'll take credit if I have to. Just go to walmart and buy a couple of the clothes hanger car rods. Hang one on the front hooks and one on the back hooks. I've been doing it this way for years and up to 9ft flyrods.

Update. I went to led headlight bulbs that do not have a built in fan. So far no ABS issues. I suspect the bulb fan motors caused some kind of electronic noise upsetting the ABS system. I've heard of radio noise from these bulbs as well. Sent from my HTC U11 using Tapatalk

I installed LED headlight bulbs about 1 month ago. Shortly after I had the ABS VSC Traction Control Lights all come on. (Codes CO226 CO236 CO246 CO256 C1223) Hooked up Techstream ran tests, Zero point calibrations and after a few tries it went away and stayed away...well for a couple of weeks...

I ordered one from these guys on Ebay. 2003-2015 4Runner 2WD complete KOYO Front Wheel Hub bearing assembly | eBay I was very pleased with the quality of the unit. Also watch several videos on how to get the old one off. One shows a guy with a BIG hammer saying to "beat that b**ch like she...

New update. My custom modified CB radio started to turn itself off and on intermittently. If you co back and look this was a BearCat880 with the case chopped down and the top 1/8" of the front bezel milled off and Orange Lighting Film over the internal LED's installed into the dash with a single...

Grocery store parking lot accident - I was savagely attacked by a yellow cement post. Ruined my chances for a new Custom front bumper. Repair thread here http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/248411-front-bumper-skin-accident-repair.html Before and After

Next was a rear axle seal repair. Bad seal design in my opinion. The seal looked fine only the spring popped off. Still had to replace it and that &&%$#@$ parking brake assembly. Repair thread and info here http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/248420-rear-axle-seal-what-did-i-do-wrong.html

A few things to catch up on here. First thing is the Rust on the rear lift gate. Rusted through from the inside out due to seperation of the insulation?? Toyota puts inside. Repair thread is here http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/248381-rust-liftgate-rusted-inside-out.html Before...

Thanks. But I ruined a perfectly good opportunity to buy a new front bumper.

When I bought my 4 runner (80k miles) the rear axle seal was leaking a little. I checked the breather and it was toast. Relocated it with a new breather and everything was fine. At 105k mile I had a catastrophic axle seal failure on the same axle. Fluid pouring out. So I fixed it. When I...

This is the view from the front. You can see around the fog light space the paint is cracked. Spot sanded those areas down and used duplicolor rattle can paint and clear coat. That stuff is great for spots like this. and the finished repair.

I pushed it back into shape and used a heat gun on the inside surface. The heat gun worked wonders. Some areas i didn't have to hardly touch, just apply heat and it went back into shape on its own. Used rubbing compound to remove the yellow paint. It still had someareas where the paint...

So...before it had time to take a set (16 hours later) I pulled the bumper skin off. I was lucky the the only damage was to the skin and missed the fog light and the front fender and headlight and headlight trim piece.
