My 2004 4Runner has not engaged into 4low for ten years or more. I never used it and noticed it stopped engaging. The 4Runner is used on short distances to work. This past month i took it to Florida and after being down here it started engaging. I have been engaging it off and on and rode it...

Just wanted to post this here in case someone has not seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=AAuwKqRFqQtx7JND&v=awI97TbnMiY&feature=youtu.be Toyota Center Section Kit | Store | Taboo Customs

It was all good. Drove it in with no issues and picked up the new cap on the way home. All new fluid. Next up is to replace the brake calipers and brakes. I wanted to flush the brake fluid first before I swapped the calibers to keep old fluid out of the new calibers.

My hood fell and broke my myster cylinder lid. The stem that goes into the lid broke. There is no lights on and the brakes are holding fine. Local dealer will not have it until the morning. Would it be ok to drive it tomorrow then swing by to get it after work. Thoughts?

Thanks for the information. My 2004 4 sped transmission is a little different. It does not use the Toyota Genuine ATF WS. Mine uses ATF Type IV. It also has a dip stick and I don’t think it has the fill plug and over flow plug. I think I figured out my plan of attack. Thanks!

The under Radiator Splash cover looks like OEM and bolts up fine. However it is a lot thinner metal. The weight is a lot less. It looks fine and should be alright for a highway warrior but would not use it for any off road driving.

This package worked great along with the plates. The Idler tensioner was a major pain in the butt to install. The bottom rear compressor bolt was a major pain.

Great video. Thanks for the link.

Thanks. I did install new hubs when I put in the new CV axles in 2020. I'll take a look at them to make sure everything still looks ok. I have quite a large list to do. Hope we can have some warmer weather soon to get the garage warm.

I purchased CV axles from Napa April 2020 to replace my OEM ones due to the Boots splitting. The vehicle only saw maybe 20K miles from 2020-2024. I noticed the inside boot split at the band on both shafts. I told them about it and they are replacing them under warranty. I was sit to do a bunch...

Sorry. V6.

I purchased my 2004 Toyota 4runner v6 4.0 new and have had excellent service from it. No issues except normal maintenance. It now has 165,000 miles and the pulleys are starting to squeak. From what I have been reading I need the following replacement pulleys. 2 - Gates 36173 1 - Gates 36174 I...
