08 SR5 V6 Auto. I have noticed lately that the AT gear indicator will pulse/blink when I turn off the headlights. When the lights on its normal, when I turn the lights off D,N,1,2.. etc all blink. If I turn the lights back on.. normal.. off again and it starts back up. No codes, no...

I finally got around to replacing my exhaust, ended up going with a Gibson exhaust thanks to this forum. Definately sounds different, a little droney but I could care less about sound, I went SS so that way it doesn't rot out in 5 years. Is there a market for the unused parts? V8...

I will look into the other options listed above. Tried the FM/Bluetooth and its pretty craptacular. Works when it wants, then randomly drops, or just heavy static. Maybe I have a bad device but this is bad enough I want to avoid.

So I am starting to do some investigation on my 08 4Runner SR5 factory head unit. After reading the owner manual I see there was an option to have what Toyota is calling an Auxillary adapter. Which for the layman basically is an 1/8 female stereo jack located in the center console...

Wheels have be sold. Thanks, Rob

You have to ask yourself how much towing if any are you doing? If quite abit then aim for the V8. If not so much and not too heavy then the V6 will be fine. The power output for the V8 also changed later in the 4th gen production run.. early V8's put out less power then the V6, but more...

I have a set of (4) 17" Factory wheels from an 08 4Runner. I had them recently bead blasted and then powder coated. They include the center caps. $300 Not really looking to ship, but will deliver to a UPS store for you to arrange shipping. Located in Eastern PA. Allentown/Bethlehem Area.

If your headlight is really bad, you might want to consider giving it a wetsanding with a high grit (2000+) sand paper. Then use Novus or Plastx to buff it out. Remember though to use a sealant, otherwise the UV will react with the plastic and you will need to do this again in the near future.

231k on factory plugs.. lol well you got your $$ out of them that is for sure. I just did a plug swap on an 08 SR5 with 134k and the plugs were the same. I thought that was really weird but now not so much. high score thread..

3K changes with synthetic is IMO silly. If your doing that then save your money and go with Dino oil. But if you wanna waste $$ be my guest. Case in point my 3rd gen T4R was used about every other week, mostly for something like a grocery run or some other silly errand. It racked up on...

Good Call... why take the chance. As mention previously cheap and an easy DIY.

So I have an 08 V6 SR5 that has an exhaust that needs replacing from post cat. Are there any good recommendations on exhausts? I did a swap on my 98 T4R using walker branded parts and the damn thing didn't last 3 years before rotting out. Yeah I know I am on the East Coast.. but 3 years? I...

I just recently sold my 3rd Gen 98 4Runner with 193K on the clock... its worst issue was leaking valve covers at about 150K. Other then that it was solid, no oil burning, no smoke.. etc. I have replaced my 98 with an 08 V6 and the first thing I can tell you is power. The 4.0 absolutely...

for a 2006 with a 180K I probably wouldn't go higher then $7K. For a frame of reference.. I just recently acquired an 08 V6 SR5 with 134K for $6500. Keep your eyes open and one will fall into your lap.
