    Group 31 battery Install Hope everyone had a good holiday break and a Happy New Year! Hopefully you're all settling back into reality better than I haha I had grand plans over my week off to get so many things done on both of my project vehicles, but between the regular buzz of the holidays...

    My 2003 V8 build - We'll call her the beast

    Did A quick mod over the past weekend, and I gotta say this is one of my favorite things I've done so far. I added a couple of the LEDs that I was planning on using for rock lights into the tailgate, so that when opened they illuminate a large area around the back of the truck: <a...

    My 2003 V8 build - We'll call her the beast

    Hahaha He was just tired! He's usually up front for now anyways, untill he's bit bigger For the supercharger, I stumbled upon a great deal on a unit that was barely used. Thing looks brand new, and it came complete with the TRD ecu and all. I have messaged URD about a tuning solution as I've...

    My 2003 V8 build - We'll call her the beast

    Thanks buddy! I've had a bunch of items starting to pile up and finally got around to getting some of them installed Speakers were blown in the front, so I bought some oem replacements off amazon. For $20 each these could not be beat, and there's nothing wrong with the sound they produce. <a...

    My 2003 V8 build - We'll call her the beast

    First up on the repair list was front brakes, all of it, rotors pads and calipers all needed replacing. Added some red caliper paint just for fun haha While that was apart the front wheel bearing were also done since at least of of them was bad. Along with that, I replaced every fluid in the...

    My 2003 V8 build - We'll call her the beast

    Here we go! I'll start off with a little introduction, First up I've been lurking around the forums for quite some time already, finally decided it's about time I keep track of everything I do to this truck, and what better way to do that than a build thread. I've been a motorhead all my life...

    Lurker

    Hey all! Signed up on the forums about a year ago but just getting into posting the odd time now. I bought my 2003 4Runner V8 last year and have been slowly tinkering away at it. It's not beauty but it's been good to me for 40,000 km already, bringing the ODO to nearly 370,000. Hope to take her...

    Best $400 to improve off-road capability?

    Definitely agree on the recovery gear! you can never be too safe in that regard. On another note, where are these deals on the SPC UCA's for $400? haha

    Steering Rack going out?

    Has anyone ever had to replace a steering rack due to wear on these? I'm coming up on 370,000km right now at that seems to be my issue. Quick inspection showed everything else to be tight...

    Seized rear bumpstop bolts

    Usually a day or two before I plan on doing any wrenching on the T4R, I'll soak all the fasteners I need to remove with "Kroil", maybe even hit them twice the day before. Great stuff, I haven't had to drill a bolt out yet, although the PO snapped a few bolts before I could get to them on the...

    Need help.. Bought a 2008 on Saturday...noticed this today

    Definitely looks like something was splashed onto the paint that etched it. I had this on an old car of mine that was black, if I polished it, it would look good for a few days but then come right back. Dealer might not of known any better as most used cars are detailed when being sold, maybe...

    Check Engine, VSC Trac, Trac off?

    One thing to try is following the procedure on TSB BR005-03 That fixed mine. Good Luck!

    2004 4runner, Journey beyond 200k miles.

    These trucks are almost indestructible it seems when following basic maintenance. Coming up to 220,000 miles on mine and she runs as smooth as ever. Keep it going!
