The Adventures and Build of my 2007 4Runner!

[Napalm]

I've heard quite a wide range of price quotes, but recently in Denver I've gotten quotes around $1200-$1500 inclusive of replacing the water pump and pulley tensioner.

I'd definitely shop around a few shops in your area and really drill down on what all they replace. It's one of those jobs that you have to disassemble so much, you might as well replace all the cheaper parts you can to avoid repeat labor in the future. Also, work warranty will be important as well.

Thanks for the info! That’s about what I was expecting.

I’ve read this as well - one forum post stated to go ahead and change spark plugs. Any other recommendations that you know of for replacement during this same job - I mean if they are gonna be in there, might as well do it.

Got a quote from my local dealership for $1100 for the timing belt + water pump job, that’s the best one I’ve gotten so far actually. Looks like she will be headed in soon for that!

Dropped off the old silver fox for Timing belt, water pump, and transmission drain and fill. I also asked him to replace the pulley tensioner if they had any in stock!

Loved seeing the other V8 4th gen pull in behind me, so cool to see two 15+ year runners still on the road running strong.

My dealer was nice enough to comp me a rental for the day or so it’ll take them for the timing belt job, pretty nice ‘23 Camry Nightshade

I’ve got to say - I love what Toyota is doing with these newer Camrys. The bronze wheels are just awesome!

Picked up! Fresh timing belt, water pump, and had them drain and fill the transmission.

Best part - all Toyota brand parts and came with a parts/labor warranty for 12months/12k miles.

Thank you for your service. Nice rigs

Just did the timing, water pump and both exhaust manifolds with cat. I paid a couple thousand for parts and labor so those prices given are decent for the amount of labor needs to be done.

A pretty cool sight. A third gen Hilux Surf, parked next to my 4th gen here in Texas!

First time hauling with the 4Runner. Rookie mistake!

Hauled two massive couches like a champ though!
