Sure, is there a particular part you're looking for or general? Might sound like a dumb question but I'm not in an area of the country where frame rust is an issue.

Turn-key 2005 SR5 V6 4runner ready for off-road use while balancing comfortable daily driving. Always well maintained with high quality fluids. Excellent mechanical condition, no leaks, doesn't burn a drop of oil, and shifts smoother than any other auto trans I've driven. Painted with UreChem...

I have for the 4.0 4th gen. I'd say the biggest difference is in throttle mapping through engine expected torque or similar maps, and transmission tuning. That said, I'm still not fully happy with the transmission tune and may just make my own tune instead. As a professional tuner they have...

As I've been researching more, it's looking I may need to be the guinea pig if I want this. I don't think there was a whole lot of interest before, since until recently the tacoma wasn't tunable from what I can tell. Plus, however the demographics divide, it seems the 4runner worlds just ends...

Tried to search this topic but haven't seen any real answer. Looks like people trying to do a manual swap have thought about it, but ended up not. Does anyone have any idea if a 2nd gen tacoma ecu will work in a 4th gen 4runner, assuming the pinouts are swapped around correctly. Is there...

Does anyone know what kind of signal is sent from the ecu to the speedometer? As in PWM, mV, mA?

My understanding is more surface area for heat to radiate from. 3 tubes rather than approximately 1. I suppose each tube only has a third of the heat load traveling through it but assuming it's idling, I could see them reaching the same temp anyway. I'm fully willing to admit it of I'm...

From what I can tell most people with 4th gens are using thorley headers which I believe come coated as a standard, limiting how much experience there might be on the subject. I think jba made/makes some uncoated but I don't know how many actually use them. My plan for now is just to be on...

Not sure if this is the best place to post since it's for a 2005 v6 or if engines/etc. would have been better. Anyway, I bought some stainless short tube headers that are uncoated, I was wondering if anyone is running uncoated headers and if they had any temperature issues to deal with? I...

I think I was reading a thread on some forum where someone accidentally got tundra 5100s and that happened, you might want to double check the part numbers.

I'm about to install the same setup, currently debating between 1.75 or 2.5 on the front. Did you need to install aftermarket UCAs with yours or did they do fine without?

I'm looking at replacing my current tires either with these or with Michelin defenders. For those that have had the cooper discoverer at3 4s, how have your mpg's been?

I'll look up book values from all three main companies, but I always cross compare with what actual vehicles are selling for. The ranger that I sold before buying my 4runner went for more than double any of the book values. That said, when I bought it a year or two prior, book value was...

Finished painting the last wheel. Dark copper rims with a black center cap. Wire brushed, cleaned, cleaned with simple green, cleaned with dish soap, sprayed self etch, sprayed normal primer, sprayed metallic paint, sprayed clear. We'll see how long it lasts. Sorry for the dirty vehicle...

One of the first things I'll do to a new to me car is add 2" round blind spot mirrors. I was able to pick up an adjustable pair for around $5-$10 at an auto parts store for my 4runner when I got it. I use them daily, makes a real difference instead of just turning your head. My first car...
