    ohnoitsthecops 4runner build

    Great work on 4Runner. Bet it's a great service vehicle. There is an FJ around here that looks like yours, LOVE it, man.

    Changing trim colors on my '03

    Very nice! Honestly can't tell it's not factory. Well done, man.

    Trying to get FJ suspension on my 4th gen..installer issues in Wa state...

    Really sorry to all of those who replied to this thread some time ago. Life got crazy and I was busy handling the day to day. I wanted to give you all an update and let you know that after Darkie posted this recommendation I went with John at Auburn Car Repair & Off-Road. I had stopped by his...

    Where to run non-permanent cb wire?

    One way to avoid any magnet mount scratching your paint is to cut out a slightly larger, matching piece of black pantyhose or other thin material to use as a buffer. Also, be absolutely sure to clean the area of the paint before putting the mount down. Basically, the scratches happen when tiny...

    Where to run non-permanent cb wire?

    I use a Wilson 5000 magnet mount antenna and just close the cable in the door of my choice, routing it through the O.S. Handle and down. It uninstalls in literally under a minute, and if I need to, the Wilson antennas detach from the magnet mount base and come with a weather cap to put on there...

    CB radios and mounting.

    Pardon the wordiness of what follows, but for what it's worth, I use a magnet mount Wilson 5000 antenna (here: Amazon.com: Wilson 880-200152B 5000 Series Mobile CB Antenna with 62-in Whip: Electronics) (although if you're not adding any power, the Wilson 1000 works just as well and is cheaper -...

    Just a friendly FYI, got some legit OEM LED tails for CHEAP...brand new (eBay)

    I'm sorry to hear this guy has apparently run out of some of these. Really hope you guys got in on the deal while it was there. Glad to see at least some of you did. Seems like the guy finally got wise to his mistake pricing these so low. Mine are legit OEM. There are NO fitment issues at all -...

    Looking for the full text of a somewhat rare TSB...any help? (Already Searched)

    FANTASTIC! Thank you, sir. You are very resourceful and prompt. I appreciate it! Going to sit down and review this on the weekend and see what I have on hand, if the parts and time are there I will probably do this myself if I can. Might stop by the stealership quick for laughs tho before I do...

    Looking for the full text of a somewhat rare TSB...any help? (Already Searched)

    I am looking for the full text of the 2003 Dash light TSB. This is the one where the dash lights do not automatically come on during the day and are somewhat hard to read in the crappy, overcast Washington state days. The wife has been complaining about it lately. Here's the info I was able to...

    blown head gasket, then warped head, now new engine

    For what it's worth, see if you can't get a second opinion on the condition of the motor. I know it would be a major hassle, but try. I took my 2004 into the dealership after a friend drove it with the e-brake on for about 50 miles. (Was actually there mainly for a 5k service.) After telling...

    Just a friendly FYI, got some legit OEM LED tails for CHEAP...brand new (eBay)

    I just bought a set from this seller on eBay this past month and installed them. Both are brand new and fit flawlessly. They are genuine Toyota OEM parts, as well. Both came in genuine OEM Toyota boxes with proper labels, factory imprints in the plastic, etc. Both fit perfectly, had 0 issues...

    Did I make a bad decision? V8 instead of V6

    I have had two V8 4th Gen 4Runners, both have run like a champ and never given me any motor issues at all. My father has a 2009 V6, and honestly, his has been running like a champ, too. That said, he's driven my V8's and made the comment that he felt the V8 was a little smoother than his V6, but...

    4th gen Parts sale

    Ok, well I don't want to be a douche and "steal" it from anybody, I just saw Rockdawg84's desire to buy it there. I'll give him a chance to pull the trigger on it, and if he doesn't within a day or two I'll go ahead and grab it. One of our cars just got broken into here, and I am in the medical...
