    "Rumble Strip" Transmission issue

    I'm finding the same issues on my 07 4Runner v6. It has 101K on it. I just drained 12 quarts by the tranny cooler line and replaced it with Valvoline MaxLife ATF. I added a Magnefine inline filter. I still have a shutter between 4th and 5th gear. Very noticeable around 45mph and when on the...

    Does the v6 model have AWD like my v8??

    This is an interesting conversation. So I just came back to the 4Runner world after selling my 03 4Runner V8 2 years ago. I'm now back in an 07 4runner v6. I have to say I like the way the V8 drove better. I think a lot has to do with the AWD system and having all 4 wheels pull at the same time...

    help me help you: Sunroof rust issue, with pics

    I just got back in the game again. Sold my 03 4runner 2 years ago. Just bought my dad's 07 4runner. I was cleaning it up last night and noticed I have significant rust on my front side of the moonroof just as pictured. I never had this problem on the 03. Anyone successfully pleaded to Toyota...

    Heat Shield on exhaust is now removed

    Just use some large hose clamps and tighten it around the pipe in the same place. That is what I did and it works like a charm.

    Toyota Fluids vs. Aftermarket Brand Fluids

    I use Zerek Asian vehicle coolant. Much less expensive than Toyota Coolant and is basically the same thing. Valvoline.com > Products > Zerex > Antifreeze Zerex > Zerex® Asian Vehicle Antifreeze / Coolant

    Recommended tires for Toyota 4Runner

    Michelin LTS M/S2. Extremely smooth tire and definately a bit pricey but they last a long time, over 50K at least, and are worth every penny.

    Do I really need a v8?

    GET The V8! For 1 MPG difference, the power and tourque difference is huge. I have the V8 and my dad has an 07 with the V6. His drives like a dog compared to mine. Everyday my neighbors see me driving down the street with white teeth beaming as I smile ear to ear.

    2005 Toyota 4Runner 4wd v6 rear rotors and pads

    I've had the same problem with my 03 since I bought it new. I've gone through 3 sets of rotors in the rear in 87K miles. I've installed the last two sets of pads and rotors. My front never warp on this truck. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the issue is.....both calipers seem to...

    V8 Aftermarket Exhaust Manifold

    Nope, it's just a replacement manifold from Pacesetter. Honestly, I drive my Tundra more in the Summer so I haven't driven the 4Runner much but it seems to be just like OEM again.

    V8 Aftermarket Exhaust Manifold

    Nope. The ebay one I put in the link is the one I purchased for $300 and it came in a pacesetter box and bolted right up.

    V8 Aftermarket Exhaust Manifold

    I ordered the Toyota heat shield and it arrived today. What a PITA to install that thing! I got it on and it fit like a glove over the PaceSetter aftermarket manifold. The part was $50. All else is good in case anyone is looking to do this mod.

    V8 Aftermarket Exhaust Manifold

    Here is a pic of the new installed manifold. Note the heat shield was destroyed in the process. The guys at the exhaust shop said it fell apart when they took it off. I'm debating whether to get a new one or not.
