I do have the 2003 FSM, and looking at the W59 section i see what i mentioned above, but I am working on a 1998. FSM shows these and the 7 bolts i mentioned.

Sanity check here. Struggling to get the transmission to slid off the motor. I Have a 1/4" gap between the bell housing and the motor on the passenger side, and just enough to get a flat head screw driver tip in the drivers side. Not including the little access plate on the bottom of the bell...

Looking at a 2000 console for my 98. Want to be sure it matches close. Anyone familiar with YA45 code vs FA45?

1998 2.7L - Was checking my shims and clearance today and got tired of messing around and pulled off the exhaust cam (all valves need adjusted). I forgot to put the service bolt in before pulling the cam, but I got it back in with a lot of grunting and twisting. I only had to move it about 1...

Ill try to stick to the main points. Picked up a 98 4runner. No AC for a few years. Car is r134A and indicated ND-8 oil. Use a can of 134A and charged it up enough that the compressor kicked on. When I shut it off found a significant leak on the High pressure liquid line. Replaced line, dryer...

No flicker at all as I think they went away with Pulse width modulation for DRL when they changed to the LED setup. This mod gives you full 12.8VDC (est) at the fixtures so you get full spec voltage for the LED bulb. Also just as important, you don't want to blind people with your DRL so you...

That’s one of the others I was going to get. Thanks. I’ll report back

Got a replacement pro grill coming from 4runner lifestyle to try and fix issues with the first one… not sure how a new identical set will help, but they said it has in the past. Anyways, the tape they include seems cheap and might be part of the issue, so I want to be prepared with new tape. I...

Hello all, general question for those who installed the listed pro Grille onto their 2020 or newer truck. Got the new grille and it looks nice, but the black upper grill doesn't snap fully into the painted grille surround (part # PZ327-35054-J1)so you can pull up a picture. ) Also the black...

Did mod - pics Completed this with dynamic LEDS ( 9005 HP48 LED Bulbs ) and harness with slight change to harness. First - verify your wiring. Measure dc volts from passenger side green wire to drivers side white w/ black wire. Engine will be running, I measured 13.9 volts. Next , verify...
