    Towing Question

    I bought air bags thinking it would make it better... They are off the 4runner now. Adjust your bars correctly and you'll be fine. With the airbags inflated to only 10 psi, the ride became very bouncy with the bars. You need to let them do the work! I bought the Equa-l-izer hitch (or...

    list of problems... 2008 V8

    The problem was not what I thought. I ended up dismantling the seat and found where the noise was coming from. I took pictures while I was doing it, I'll try to post pics asap. My wife is turning 30 tomorrow so we'll have a party!

    list of problems... 2008 V8

    1, 3 and 4 are done!! #2 I ordered the parts, always nice to check the items on the list of annoying issues. The noise I can't figure out is not the brakes (I know what you are talking about) and not the manifold (replaced it last year) and it makes a different noise. If I could describe the...

    2008 Sway bar bushing

    I'm looking to buy the Energy or Polythan bushings, but the problem is that in the post he says 30/21 and on the web sites they say 29/17... I guess I'll have to buy a measuring tool to make sure I get the right part!!

    2008 Sway bar bushing

    Hi, I was removing the daystar 2.5/1.5 spacers on the 4Runner and noticed that the front sway bar bushings are shot. I have a 2008 V8 Limited, does anybody know what's the front and rear sway bar diameter? I can't find a fit guide and don't have the proper tool to measure it correctly. Tks!

    HowTo: rear backup camera mod

    Hello, I tried to find the information to do the reverse camera mod, but couldn't find it for the 4th gen section. This is not a very detailed How to, but with minimal DIY skills, it is a 1-2 hours project. Note that the radio doesn't need to be removed. Total cost for the project is 6$. If...

    Fx35 or 4runner

    I owned an FX45 before I got the 4runner. The goods: The sound of the V8 engine is delightful, sounds like a supercar. Surprisingly, it drives like a sports car. I've never owned a car with a paint that high quality, and it was black. The bads: Bad mpg (worst than v8 4runner by a lot +...

    Not a 4runner, but an awesome inspirational story

    Unbelievable, I don't understand why so few people have the guts to do this kind of adventure. Well, in fact I do understand but wish we wouldn't care that much about our own comfort!
