this came with it in the package. I was a bit confused when reading the instructions. It talks about old v new radio. You have a 'newer' radio. But this kit had that BT-TOYR.
This is what they are referring to as that cable.

I went to Knolls, Utah. It was fun. 
Went to do the front brakes this morning and found the following: a nail in front drivers tire, pulled and plugged. More unfortunately both front cv's have split boots, and are dry. Happened over the past winter...bummer.
So it's off to the garage next week to get it done. Thankfully they'll use my supplied parts.

If you can do the brake job, you can definitely do the axle replacement. Sounds way harder than it actually is. No extraordinary tools needed, can be done with all hand tools and a bit of patience. That said, if they charge decent, then by all means avoid the long day lol. Where are you buying the axles?

I did my front brakes finally. Been meaning to do them forever. I started last night but it got dark as I forgot how much of a B&@%H the caliper bolts are to get out. Nothing a good wrench and a sledge couldn’t handle. But by the time I tracked down said sledge it was dark and I was tired. This morning I did the driver side, only to find that my outer cv boot is torn. So I have that to look forward to next Sunday. While I have it apart I’m going to replace the wheel bearing hubs with bumper2bumpers assemblies. Anyone have experience with them? For the price and the warrant they offer I figure I can’t go wrong.

Thanks for rooting me on !
2 things working against me. Torn rotator cuff, fractured sternum, damaged elbows....oh and more. Automotive brakes I can do painfully, cv's go to the mechanic. Got a good garage, usually I get good rates from them. So we'll see.
Probably Toyota remans, we'll see.
Sucks 'cause I used to do all of it at home.

The last few reports on Marion Bumper To Bumper is that they had to wait several weeks, as much as 4 to 5 weeks to get the hub/bearing assemblies, and communication/email inquires weren't replied too very quickly, the owner had numerous excuses, other than that they're great assemblies and everyone seemed to have gotten their order/s.

Well, I attempted to clean an o2 sensor. Didn't work. Also I need to replace my passenger side wheel bearing.

Thanks. Not keen on waiting that long. Anyone have any idea what happened with nj636? I was looking for his thread and saw that he’s banned? I’ve been off the forum for a while.

He has a website..... jerseybuilthubs, BUT keep in mind unless something has changed and if I'm not mistaken he does his hubs as a sideline as he has a fulltime day job and you may have to wait just as long and commuication has been reported about the same as with B. to B. ...BUT again he has a great product as well.

Looks like he was just shitcanned off TW. Apparently people were waiting over a month. When asked for shipping info/status, he would provide a shipping number and then it would still take several more weeks to get the product, if at all. They are recommending anyone waiting on product to dispute charges as he has stopped all communication. Bummer, guess I’ll go the first route and hope for a quick turnaround. I’m sure my CV will make it for a while, it just tore and isn’t popping yet.

Your 4runner is basically my endgame goal for mine. Looks great.
There is a different guy on TW that does hubs with what seems like a very fair turn around. I think he usually tries to keep a few sets ready to ship.

I made another couple hundred dollars worth of orders from Wheelers to complete the first part of my lift thats coming this Wed. Also bought some TRD pro badges off ebay. Dunno what I'll do with them yet but I won't install them til I'm done adding all the TRD related stuff I plan on fitting onto the runner.
