It's a 2007 V6 SR5, I don't believe it has ADD, just the basic 4x4 system, if I am thinking correctly about what the ADD is. Also, wouldn't that mean just the front wheels wouldn't turn? When I removed the transfer case, the driveshafts and u-joints were all intact and in good shape.

Yes, the chain was in one piece and had no visible signs of wear. I was really hoping/thinking it was this too based on the symptoms.

My 2007 4Runner has been sitting at my cabin in northern Wisconsin, since I had an issue with it last year around Thanksgiving. Here is what happened: I was in 4 hi on a gravel road, came to a complete stop, pushed down on the brakes as I hard as I could, I gave it some gas to see how high it...

I installed a Gibson Black Elite single catback exhaust on my 2007 SR5 V6. I've installed different exhausts and mufflers on almost every vehicle I've owned and I have been impressed with this. Despite being the V6 it's not too loud at all and doesn't have that trumpet sound VQs are known for...

In these pics I'm running Bilstein 5100s, Toytec 2.5" springs in front and Toytec 2" springs in the rear. In the front I also have the Daystar 2.5" spacers from the first spacer lift I put on it a couple years ago. So a total of 5" of lift in front and 2" in back, which doesn't seem right when I...

$8000 for my 2007 SR5 with 160k on it and bone stock last fall. Incredibly well maintained and the cleanest underneath compared to every other 4Runner and GX470 I looked at in Wisco. The fact so many people don't do rust proofing yet live where they salt the roads boggles my mind. It is a necessity.

I just threw a Gibson cat back on my 07 SR5 2 weekends ago and was surprised by how quiet it is. Plus under $400 for a stainless catback is pretty darn good price wise in my opinion. Just be careful as they sell the same system for all 4Runners from 03- current regardless of engine so there are...

I put on the Daystar kit a month or so ago and even with a winch on the front I fit 285/70/17s Milestar Patagonias. I did do plenty of trimming and the body mount chop, but so far the only rubbing I have was in the rear on the inside bottom corner of the mudflap. I did trim the bottoms off the...

Now that it's finally warming up here in Wisco been trying to keep busy the last couple weekends. Started with an oil change with some good ol' Redline 5w30. Sprayed the radiator support and some other misc spots with Rust Reformer and some flat black Rustoleum. Replaced the SR5 4WD badge on the...

Too many to list, but my 2005 Wrangler Rubicon is the most recent before the 4Runner. With 3" of lift and 35s with lockers the 4Runner just doesn't compare offroad (it's still stock). But on road is a whole different story, which is why the Jeep is for sale.
