    What do you think is the 4Runner's weakest link?

    Severe Rust and Calipers seizing. Obviously not a problem for the drier climates. How a recall or class action lawsuit has never happened is beyond me for the calipers. At least a newly designed caliper would be nice from toyota. I'm not a fan of the VSC engaging and cutting power to the engine...

    5th Gen Calipers

    My passenger side caliper is seized, this makes 6 calipers in 7 years for me, no joke. Like clock work every jan/feb one will seize. I do not feel like or have the time to do a complete 5th Gen front brake switch. So in the name of saving money and time to get my 4runner back on the road and see...

    Re-upholstering a 2007 4R

    I did mine one my own. It's a tedious job but if you have time to spare it's pretty straight forward. There are some very challenging spots when installing and your hands will hurt. I bought my leather off of ebay, didn't use Clazzio or Katzkins, the quality was very good though and has held up...

    F.U 4runner Calipers and Toyota.

    I wonder if this is the cause of my problems? “The proper lubricant is silicone paste, not grease. Grease is petroleum-based and will eat away at the rubber boots on the slide pins. Once the rubber deteriorates it can cause the pins to bind and not move correctly. In addition to that, when...

    5th Gen Calipers

    A Clay Bar will do the trick. Just be patient as its not instant.

    F.U 4runner Calipers and Toyota.

    So as the title of this thread shows, i was a little pissed and the title name was a little on the childish side. Well after replacing my driver side caliper, rotor, brake pad, new brake fluid and of course painting the caliper to match the other one in February, it has once again seized just 5...

    F.U 4runner Calipers and Toyota.

    Why has there not been a fix for this?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Well like clock work every 2 years my caliper's freeze. This will be my 4th replacement since 2010. Always freezes in the winter which makes it that much more of PITA for me to fix since i have to do it outside.

    06 4.0 v6 will not start or turnover any suggestions?

    Unfortunately I wasn't offered a refund for the battery. The battery was still under warranty and I was offered a replacement. I would have taking a refund but I'm not going to go out and spend money when I can get it for free sort of speak. This one has a 5 years warranty so if it does die...

    06 4.0 v6 will not start or turnover any suggestions?

    Hey just an update. You were correct. I was personally shocked it was the battery and that it went from working perfect to not being able to even be jumped. I hooked up the multi-meter and it showed only 5 volts coming from the batter, dead! I strongly would not recommend the Duralast...

    06 4.0 v6 will not start or turnover any suggestions?

    I'm hoping someone else has had a problem similar or can offer me some suggestions & point me in the right direction. I realize it could be wide range of potential issues. I'm at work right now & have not been able to troubleshoot anything yet. I drove the 4runner the night before and parked it...

    Shift Knob Compatibility

    I'm looking at a new shift knob as my dog had gotten to mine a long time ago. I know that the gx470 knobs fit, the 5th gen doesn't fit being to bulky but the screw part does. Does anyone know if camry, solara, highlander's etc shift knobs fit? They look very similar at the base of the knob...
