Just to confirm - our 2006 4Runner Sport with 17" wheels does have the larger rotors running under the 13WH calipers.

Bump?

Scratched around the T4R site and on the InterWebs in general, but couldn't successfully find a link like I did here (fortunately) for my 2006 4Runner. If no one knows of a free source, then we will look into purchasing one. I read that the manual available at TradeBits is not that great -...

Good deal - thanks.

I drive a MINI... So anything beyond 40K miles of use is subject to suspicion of fail. :p NTB didn't offer to fix, that was just their "evaluation". I'd never do mechanicals at NTB - that would be a high risk adventure I fear. I wouldn't do tires there normally except they are the only place on...

D'Oh! Didn't even think of that... Must. Check. Breather.

Good to know. Since she's hammering out the freeway miles, I'm prone to thinking the NAPA units will suffice, but I am always cautious on house brands since the quality can vary immensely from the OEM or known manufacturers. Thanks.

How common are wheel bearing fails on the 4th gen T4R? Wife's T4R went over to our local NTB for new rear tires last year after she grabbed a chunk o' metal in one that mandated a replacement vs. patching. Since then she's had a funky noise coming from the rear (a subtle whup whup whup at...

'Nuff said. Any apprehensions about using NAPA rotors? Price is right @ $65 each. Stealership wants $120 each. I'd grab Brembos or something similar before I'd do that I think...

Time is here to do the brakes on my wife's '06 T4R. I have the pads from Toyota and new pins, but I am wondering if there is a definitive way to tell if she has the 338mm rotors without pulling the wheel and confirming with a ruler on center. She has a Sport Edition with the 17" rims so I am...

Ooooo - snap. Thanks!

Bentley doesn't make one covering the Gen 4 4Runners, Haynes usually suck. Any other noteworthy options?

2006 Sport 4WD, V6. Replaced anything? Not really, other than a K&N panel vs. the OEM paper filter and an Optima battery. Repaired anything? Yes. Wife put a parking lot stripe on an adjacent mini-van, which mandated a fender, bumper, interior fender liner & bits, fog lamp & (of all things) a...

Wife has a 2006 Sport 4Runner that is basically as reliable as a Swiss watch (naturally, having posted this statement it will now self destruct in the driveway...). So she comments the other day about the sunroof sounding different. I ride along with her to determine if I can hear anything, but...

Did you ever replace your seal? I have an '06 that is beginning to lose its seal... Just wind noise for the moment, but winter is approaching and I don't want any flooding on the inside.
