    Need help fast- retrofit

    The factory grommet fits pretty well over the ring that holds the bulb in, as I recall. Put the headlight bulb in and see where you're at?

    CEL Code P0101 MAF Sensor

    Thanks, I will try a FPR first, follow up with injectors. These are my exact symptoms, from cold start to warm idle

    CEL Code P0101 MAF Sensor

    Did you get your issue resolved? I have 20-30% LTFT, occasional P0174. I've tried a new MAF from Rockauto (Toshiba, same as OEM) and no change. LTFT on throttle is fine, but at cruise and idle is 20-30%

    Front Diff Removal 4WD to 2WD?

    I'm pretty sure the outer shafts of the front CVs hold the wheel bearings together.... You could disassemble and take out the physical half shaft, but you definitely need the outer stub

    A/C compressor kick on V8?

    I had the same issue, even with SS lines. My solution was to run it under the back of a Dodge Ram 2500 and buy a GX470, which oddly doesn't have the issue. Your results may vary.

    V8 Towing question

    I recently hauled the 6x12 enclosed Uhaul from eastern Pennsylvania to Atlanta in a GX470 (heavier than 4Runner, same drivetrain) 11mpg hauling at 10 over the whole way. (mostly 80MPH. We were in a hurry) When transmission temperatures got above 200F on my ultragauge, downshift to 4th and they...

    Mini Morimoto RetroQuik Bi-Xenon Projector Swap for '06+ Headlamps

    Mark the wall in front of the car before you remove the old ones. Do your retrofit Reinstall without the clear plastic outer cover, and adjust the new projectors (not the headlight housing) as needed until they line up with your old marks (this will get you close). If you don't do this, the...

    Buying a 2007-2009 4runner in a few months

    If you're concern is modifying the stereo, get the one without the premium sound, and you can switch it out. Personally I like the ML system in mine, and haven't had any problems with the back up camera being washed out. The nav isn't tied into traffic, which is annoying, so I just use it as a...

    Buying a 2007-2009 4runner in a few months

    If you're looking for a limited, keep an eye on the GX470 as well.

    Silver Skid plate

    I know you said you wanted it for looks, but I found something interesting about that area on the 120 platform. Between the bumper and the engine skid on the 4runner is empty. On the GX470 there's a black plastic filler plate, maybe there for aerodynamics. It looks like it *should* bolt up to...

    Just totaled my 4runner

    I went that route. Pretty happy with it. Things I like: Nice leather, awesome stereo (on the Mark Levinson models) no such thing as a 2wd or V6 GX470 Auto up/down on all windows Side-swing rear door (doesn't interfere with my roof box) Heated seats/mirrors/dual zone climate Auto windshield...

    Just totaled my 4runner

    Just got $13.3k for my 07 SR5 V8 4x4 with 175k miles. 12.5 seems reasonable one state over and a few years older Make sure they only use v8 4x4 as comps. Caught my insurance on that
