Good look! Did you keep the factory tint and just do the front door windows or do your whole 'Runner? I'd rather do the former but not sure if there is tint close enough to match.

D&L Tint did my 13 and it was perfect. 5% in rears and 20% (I think) for the fronts, looks great and the vision out from inside is shockingly bright for the darkness of the tint.
Had my wife's Taurus done afterwards, only the "legal" 35% (maybe 20% in rear, not sure). One little bubble on the Taurus didn't settle out and they replaced the whole sheet, easy peasy.
Great customer service and done quick! They offer a house brand and a 3M-branded tint, we have the 3M so I can't speak to the house brand. They say it is "just as good" but won't last as long. We keep our cars into double digits so it was worth it.
We used the White Marsh location but no reason to think the other (Timonium??) is any different.

Did this ever end up happening? If not we should try to get something together soon. I am literally 10 minutes away.

Differentials & Transfer Case Oil Changes...
Does anyone have a non-Toyota auto shop that they go to to get this servicing done? Will be getting my 60K servicing done within the next couple of weeks but wanted to see if I can find somewhere cheaper to change the oils for the diffs and T-Case. Thanks.

You've gotten this specific work done there before? I want to make sure that it would be worth the trip for me head all the way out to NE Philadelphia. Thanks.

Main Line Overland out in West Chester is a great shop if you don't mind the drive.
New to this thread, but not to Toyotas
Hey guys and girls of the SE PA area. I grew up with Toyotas and have had many FJ40s since the 80s. I am a bit new to the 4Runner scene but had a 1986 4Runner. Right now I have a 2015 4Runner TRD Pro named Marsha (Marshmellow). She has a 2-inch lift, 285s, a Gobi Stealth rack and ladder, and Shockworks sliders. My wife and I use it offroad a lot especially when we work in Canada as Northwoods canoe guides in the Summer. We have a Tepui RTT and a CVT awning and awning room.
I will try to get some pics.
My last FJ40 - I did a ton of work on this FJ40 and someone offered me a handful of
cash I could not turn down. I really miss it.

Hi all!
Hopefully someone is still watching this thread.
I’m in Montgomery/Bucks County PA. 2020 TRD Off-Road that I’m building up for a family camping/beach/overland rig.

Long time, no talk. Is there a repair shop(s) in the Philadelphia (and surrounding) area that does good work AND allows you to bring a part(s) to their shop? It looks like I'm due for a new water pump after 115K. My local stealership is quoting me over $1K. I've already found OEM Water Pumps ranging around $130 mark shipped. I don't know how Firestone/Pep Boys would feel about me bring the water pump for them to install. Regardless, if there is a repair shop that focuses on 4Runners within our area, I don't mind bring them this business and future work to be done my 4Runner. Thanks in advance.

@%1;, Busted Knuckle Garage out at the Willow Grove air base are a “Jeep” place, but do all sorts. The only other place I have found is over the river in NJ, Uprise Offroad. They’re cool. If you want a good all-round shop, REM’s on Davisville Rd in Willow Grove is a family-owned shop that does all sorts of stuff. My buddy has a couple of 65-67 Mustangs he takes to them to work on. I take my 4R to them.
