I sanded and re-painted and re-cleared the body moulding fender flare with "SEM Factory Pack 19323 (Natural White 056)" base coat (about $20/can) and "Spray Max 2K Glamour Gloss" clear coat (about $20/can). Darn near perfect match! In fact, I'm going to have to buff it with some rubbing...

Yep, my 4Runner color code is "056 Natural White". The Dupli-Color color code is "Natural White (056)" Doesn't match. I'm going to try the SEM Products Factory Pack paint which costs like $20 for a spray can (plus I need to spend another $20 for the spray can of 2K clear).

I didn't attach it yet, but just try-fitted it. ARGGGGH! The color doesn't match! I used Dupli Color "056 Natural White" which is the paint code for my 4Runner. It is WAAAAAY off! Now I gotta sand it all down again and try a different paint brand to try and get the color right. Maybe I'll buy...

This is the body trim moulding (over the right rear wheel) that I pulled off, body-filled, primered, re-painted, and clear coated. My first attempt at paint and clear. There's a bit of orange peel as you can see in the reflection, but it looks better in-person and I can probably sand it with...

I broke all my clips when I removed my moulding. I removed all the broken old clips and bought a set of new clips from the Toyota dealer. I was removing the moulding to repair and paint it after it got a nasty scrape. When reinstalling the moulding, do I put the new clips in the body and snap...

Got some questions, if you don't mind answering. Which unit did you get, make and model? Where did you buy it, how much did you pay? Did you get the backup camera with it, if so how did you wire it? Which ROM did you flash, where did you download it? Thanks,

NPRDan -- I'm in the wrong gen-forum, I have a 2007 4th gen 4Runner V8 4WD, but I'm impressed by the photo of your 4Runner pulling a 25-foot trailer. I've been looking at the Keystone Passport Elite Ultra-Lite 23RB travel trailer (4700 lbs dry, my 4Runner has max tow 7300 lbs). I was thinking...

Thanks for confirming the cooler. Not sure what a class 3 hitch looks like, but I took this pic of the sticker on my tow hitch. It says it is 7,300 lb GW. Not sure why the difference in tongue weight: "730 lb Tongue Weight Carrying" vs "1,095 lb Tongue Weight Distributing" My 2007 V8 4WD is a...

Thank you! Lots of great info in your reply. Yes, I'm looking at the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 that comes with the 4Runner harness. I just looked for the harness in the car, it's not in the glove box or center console or the storage compartments in the back. So I'll just get the harness that's sold...

Is this the factory transmission cooler (looks like a mini radiator in front of the large main engine radiator)?

OK, I'll look tomorrow when it's daylight. I'm planning on towing a 4,730 lbs dry-weight trailer (never did this before) from Virginia to Texas in the near future. So I want to make sure my 4Runner is up for the task. I think the towing capacity specs for the 2007 V8 is 7,000 lbs. ...Hope it...

I have a 2007 V8 SR5. I'm trying to find out if it comes with factory-installed tranmission cooler. Do you know if it does, is there an easy way to tell? I believe I have the factory tow package.

Yep, I read the comments too, and the comments in this YouTube video review. It sounds like the reviewer was able to resolve the boot-up looping problem by flashing a ROM update. That may be out of some people's comfort zone, but I've flashed my phones dozens of times and there's not much to...

Anyone put in one of those cheap (Chinese) Android double-DIN head units? I'm looking specifically at the Pumpkin unit. I think it's the same as the CarJoying and bunch of other names that sell the same "Hui Fei" unit with a different name. Like it? Don't like it? Did it work with the 4Runner...

My 2007 SR5 V8 had a seized driver front caliper. The symptoms were: Intermittent dragging, pulling to the left, high vibrations in steering wheel at 50+ mph. Then, without any reason, it would unseize and the car would be smoothe and straight. I bought a set of calipers at Napa Auto Parts...
