Yea, forums for your specific rig are the best! I've had 5 4runners now throughout the years and freaking love them.
It used to be that yotatech was the goto forum back in the day and I lurked there a lot before youtube was really prominent. Or rather, youtube was a thing but hadn't quite filled in yet with "type the name of your exact model and year / maintenance issue" to find a detailed video of what to do.
I rebuilt a couple engines by scrapping together clues from forum posts back then haha. Seems like this forum is the new best thing for 4runners though, it's the only results in google usually ...
