Sold DOES NOT INCLUDE TOYOTA LETTING! Got an extra TRD Pro Style Grille from Mad Hornets because the garnish came with a small scratch. I have sanded the garnish w/ 400 and 800 grit sandpaper and sprayed with 4 coats of black Dupli-Color Trim & Bumper paint. Scratches are gone and it’s...

I’m just posting this for posterity’s sake. Driving home one day going uphill at about 50 mph it felt like my ‘05 Sport Edition V8 4Runner (230,000 miles on it) was searching for a gear between 4th and 5th and kind of stumbling, losing power a little. It happened again going up another hill on...

Sold Bought a Toytec Diff Drop thinking it would help with my CV axle binding issues, but turned out to be the aftermarket CV axle that was the problem. Never installed, never taken out of the plastic. $20 (plus shipping if you want it shipped) Thanks, James Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Someone doesn’t know what they are doing. I would find a shop that can align a vehicle that’s been lifted. Caster isn’t terrible, but should definitely be able to get camber in spec. I would take it to another shop, ask them to max out caster and get camber and toe in spec. Take the print...

Depends what you want out of your 4Runner. If you want a more off road capable rig, then skip the spacer kit and get better coils and springs. Taller springs allow for more travel and added weight. If you just want the look of a lift but don’t want the expense and handling of an off road...

Discount Tire has the Hunter Road Force after looking on the hunter website. The difference is the Haweka adapter or fingers. Better yet show them a picture of the adapter. If they don’t use it, they will just be relying on the hub to center the rim on the machine which isn’t precise enough...

Happy to report that I have solved my vibration which was occurring between 60-70 mph. Thanks to the information on previous posts, our 4Runner's wheels are lug-centric and not hub-centric (as I would've guessed they were). I told my local Discount Tire about the issue after they had...

Correction: the technical term is "grip handle", my bad. Looks like there are some covers you remove and probably some fasteners inside to loosen. https://parts.conicellitoyotaofconshohocken.com/auto-parts/2005/toyota/4runner/sport-trim/4-7l-v8-gas-engine/body-cat/interior-trim-pillars-scat

I believe that would be the "oh shit" handle. Have you opened the door and looked on the other side for fasteners?

Which end came lose? I'm assuming the end that connects to the spindle? I cranked the shit out of mine by accident (read the wrong torque requirement) and haven't backed it off, now I'm kind of glad I haven't. I think it's supposed to be 52 ft/lbs. Once you get it tightened down, you don't...

They don't sell OEM LCA ball joints separately, you have to buy the entire LCA which is $$$. You can buy a greaseable MOOG one, however and press out the old and press in the new (after taking off the retaining clip of course). My thought was, if I'm going to take out the LCAs, I'm replacing...

I replaced my inner tie rods with MOOG and they are nice quality. I would not use the MOOG outer tie rod ends though. Although they are greasable, they're rusting already. I agree with others that you should get complete LCAs rather than pressing out the old bushings and ball joints. You're...
