Noticed this outter trim piece can be pulled up and wondered if there is a real, practical purpose for it. I can’t think of anything. It’s the rear-facing portion of the center console as seen from the 2nd row seats.
And are there any other neat features that may not be super noticeable to a newbie?
I installed a 2.5/2” lift on a 4wd V8. Used C59-314 and C59-325 in the rear with the 1/4” front lean spacer and rear 1/2” spacer. Shocks are the IMS59-50220 set to the 213mm setting (0 lift). Rear shock is IMS59-50701. I verified and measure about 213mm. It has no lean which is good. My front center of hub to fender is 24” and rear is 24.5”. Not much rake at all. We couldn’t get the rear springs in without a spring compressor with the axle at full drop with everything disconnected. The center brake line bracket on the diff can’t bolt back on because at full drop it would rip the brake lines. Didn’t think I had enough lift to ever need that. CV axle angles look terrible to me. This was done with the help of a 20+yr Toyota Master Tech so this isn’t installation error. Everything is seated properly. UCA and LCAs were torqued at ride height. This thing has no down travel and WAY more than lift than I ever expected. I measured 1” of down travel.
Drove Hwy 1 from San Diego to Mendocino County. 7 nights camping out at beach state parks and the best weather we could have asked for. I like to think the 4runner enhanced some of the natural beauty.
And she’s still running like a dream. Excited to eee how long she’s gonna last
Hi!
I’m interested in upgrading my suspension and then eventually get my ride some new shoes.
I’d love to see my same color truck with all your different types of wheels.
So please drop a pic and description of your galactic gray 4Runner builds.
Toyota 4runner 2025 V6.
Just got alignment done and this started. Only thing they adjusted is FR wheel, apparently toe issue. The noise is coming from FR. What could this be, and what can I do to diagnose?
Thanks

Hey guys! What do yall think about the sidesteps? I don’t think they’re too bad but I’m just not sure if it looks better with or without them. What have you guys done and what do you think?
Got my 4Runner painted the Everest Green and put on some FJ Cruiser wheels. I’m loving the look! (Don’t ask how much the paint cost because I won’t answer).
Just got the bad news that I need a head gasket repair on the rig. Dealer quoted $7k for: head gasket repair, new water pump, serpentine belt, plugs + wires, and transmission fluid exchange. I’m sure I could shop around and find a bit cheaper repair cost, but $5k v $7k doesn’t really move the needle that much.
I’ve decided that I’m going to fix it, too much invested into already: new paint in 2019, suspension has less than 10k miles on it, plus some others, and the frame is mint.
My question is - did anyone else in this position explore buying a new/remanufactured engine instead of a head gasket repair?
Cost wise it doesn’t appear to be that much more to fully swap the engine. Am I crazy to think about an engine swap?
Hey y’all, this guy doesn’t light up in the middle, anyone know how to fix it or what the root cause of this can be? Thanks
Was driving normally just a few minutes ago, car stalled a/t oil light in, oil light on, battery light on. Bad battery or alternator?
So i just went on a trip through the mountains and noticed something with the transmission that i had not noticed before. To my knowledge, my 04 sr5 v6 has the 4 speed. When driving up the mountain highways, the trans seemed to downshift twice into 3rd gear, which made it seem like I actually have 5 gears. Can anyone explain this?
Thanks!
Why did it take me so long to get one?
Now, rebuilding it, re-installing it and successfully bleeding the system is TBD.
Hey y’all, I’ve been seeing a lot of this online and I don’t go off roading a lot, but I live in the country and that always comes with very bumpy roads and potholes. Does anyone have this on their car? And do you notice a difference? I got an 05 sport edition RWD
Hello! I got a 2007 4Runner Sport, and it needs a rear hatch, the only parts 4Runner near me is a 2003, would that fit? Anything else I gotta do to put it in?
