I planned on doing this in the next few months on my 06! The only difference is that I wanted to paint my shrouds silver to match my paint. But I wanted the back drop blacked out and two projectors per housing and a an amber led halo around each projector! Can't believe we got so close to the same idea!
To those who have regeared, what should I expect to pay for the front diff just to swap ring and pinion gear?
Picked up my new limited slip 3rd member today!!!
Picked up a couple of gallons of coolant from Toyota today. I knew my coolant was low when I looked a few weeks ago but not low enough to be concerned. Today the reservoir was empty so I filled it back up. I have a feeling the radiator has a leak but I don't see any wet spots on the ground or around the radiator.
Could it be a rad hose?
I was quoted $370 to swap & setup the ring and pinion. I think it sounded a bit high, but that seems the going rate down here from two diff shops.
When I pull the trigger I will just get prebuilt 3rds from ECGS; but the wife wants me to sell the 4Runner and get a new GX460. So torn..

Including the new ring and pinion or just for the install!? That's insane
If an obvious leak isn't showing (and I hate to be the bearer of bad news) it might be a head gasket heading south. :hiding:

I was going to like your post but as a flyers fan I cannot in good conscience.
Just the install. Both shops quoted $1900-2400 for gears, setup & install. That is why I still haven't done it yet.
Had a small incident last night. Swerved for a family of deer and went off the road into some gravel. Went in too hot and understeered straight through some trash cans, and clipped a tree with my bumper at about 30mph. Luckily no major damage, just ruined the fender and headlight. Bumper absorbed most of the hit, and buckled the outer tube but the frame horns are perfectly fine. Couldnt really have asked for a outcome considering I hit a tree. And on a positive note, ordered fiberglass fenders and 06 headlights.:biggrin1:
