Hey folks, its been a while since I've posted here but I need the 5 gen 4Runner communities help and maybe this will help other people who have this rust issue going on. I got a 2018 4Runner that was purchased new and currently it has 44k miles. Recently I noticed rust forming in a few...

I know this is a old thread but personally I think it's better to have a narrow wheel with a tire that it's minimum width is only .5" larger verse a really wide wheel and running a super narrow tire. Like these dummies that drive around with this stretch tire fad. IMO being a master tech and...

Hey guys I have a set of 4 Bridgestone Dueler H/T in 245/60/20 tires for sale. They all have about 5/32nds of remaining tread, are evenly worn and we're rotated every 5k miles. No plugs or patches. If you need a set of tires to get you by for a couple years these tires are perfect for you...

I live in a state that uses salt and other corrosive crap to melt snow and while replacing my brakes and greasing up the driveshafts last week I noticed my 2012 4runners frame is starting to rust. Only the welds are starting to rust at this point but I want to take care of it now before it...

I tried Valvoline Max life in my Subaru Legacy and found that it didn't last as long as other ATF fluids I've ran in that vehicle in the past. I noticed it started getting dark around 15k and at 20k needed to be changed. For a extended life ATF fluid that didnt seem like a long interval. I am a...

Nice, I thought Amsoil had a WS equivalent but I couldn't find my Amsoil catalog. Which fluid are you using, the Signature Series Fuel-Efficient or the OE stuff? I think I'd rather get the Signature because of the extra protection but it's $3 more a qt. Lol.* I'll have to contact my Amsoil guy...

Looking to get the WS fluid out of my 2012 4runner limited and put a better fluid in. What brands have any of you guys had success with and which ones suck. Did a search can didn't find much of anything. Thanks!

So you keep having to add coolant? When the engine goes from cold to hot the coolant level in the bottle will fluctuate. You can rent a headgasket testing kit at most auto parts stores. Basically you fill this tube with a special liquid that's tests for hydrocarbons in the antifreeze. You...

When I'm on longer road trips is nice to listen to movies while driving and my passenger/s can watch the movie. I don't understand why this concept is so foreign to some of you. It's 2015. From watching a couple videos of this kit installed in other Toyotas the picture quality really doesn't...

If you look on the site there is something with Bluetooth but I'm not exactly sure what it is or does. I will check it out again and let you know what I find.

Yeah its vague so it's gets people in the door. Lol. Out of all of the forums that I am a member on, there sure are a lot of *******s on this one. It's worse then Supraforums over here. Jeremy I am not specifically referring to you, just the bunch that left dbag posts on my thread.

You definitely shouldn't over look changing your brake fluid. Most people say "whatever" but down the line you will regret saying that. The main problem is moisture which will destroy the brake components. Take this for example. Have you ever seen a Toyota with the coated brake lines, which is...

Thus guy must have been really desperate because junk prices and converter prices have been down for a while now. Most people don't know this but the front cats aren't even worth that much. It's the second cat that's worth all of the money. European vehicles usually have gold and platinum inside...

Close but you'll pay about $100 more per year according to fueleconomy.gov. $2,250 for the Z and $2,350 for the Pro.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the 14+ Trail and SR5s front facias. The older ones looks way better no disrespect. Now the 14+ Limited front facias have more of a upscale look verse my 2012 Limited. Don't like the black and machined 20s on the newer ones either. Much rather have the 20s my 12 came with...
