After reading this post, I'm guessing they will just chop it from a Tacoma frame. Probably just weld that whole trailer hitch section and put it back together. Glad to hear you have a diminished value in your state. My insurance company does not support a diminished value here in California but...
We love our 4Runners of any generation, can't say that for all the passports. I've seen far too many 4Runners that are built to the hilt and make me drool.! I have not seen that with a passport. We honor our 4Runners and are part of a exclusive heritage, Japan is also very proud of this...
You can get relatively low cost low amperage electric fans that are small enough to circulate air. You just plug it into your 120 inverter, and you're done, unless your dog likes to chew on wires
I mostly use my trailer hitch and ball, at least I did with my 5th gen this new 6th gen is so new I'm still breaking it in but getting ready.
It's odd because when I was looking at the Land Cruiser up close I noticed that it had a very very large plug for the trailer hitch receiver. I was...
Yes I think that PIN will be the right choice to keep my hitch ball.
I have not had my hitch receiver rubber plug stolen yet but I could see my trailer hitch as it is also worth about $100 being easily removed.
I do like that diode light system you have is that a brake light? and is it...
Can anyone out here tell me where I can get a hitch pin lock that will fit our new extra wide trailer hitch receiver. I have the pin which is around 6 in long but that is not a lock. I have checked Harbor Freight and Walmart. Thanks in advance
Just my two cents here as I have had a 3RD AND 5th gen and now the 6th.
I noticed right away on the 5th gen that the valving seemed to not be very good on the rebound.
I upgraded to bilstein's all the way around and that solved the problem. I experienced a very smooth compression and rebound...
Absolutely, and that's on the low end. Then you have to find a buyer that's willing to take the chance. But I will say the good thing is that it's on the rear and it's angled off the car if it were in the front that's a whole different story. I think it will be repaired just fine and you'll get...
Well! I went through the same thing on a new car that had 6,000 miles on it. My insurance company would not file a diminished value. It's in their contract they would not go after the insurance company; I would have to do that through small claims court.
It's a rotten shame that insurance...
MT64 Kit FR 3 in/0 lb, RR 2 in/0 lb 2134K
By any chance is this the kit that you used.? Your truck looks very level so I'm guessing the front is the 3-inch in the rear is the two which comes with this kit. I've been thinking of this but have a question for you on the damping and rebound. Is the...
I did that similar type of build with my third gen and 5th gen. Didn't cut any Corners by putting in phony components that lift without real suspension articulation. I went with Bilstein when I did my suspension upgrades to my 3rd and 5th gen. Yes I did all the work myself other than the wheel...
Thanks for that info, I only say this because I was living in Long Island finishing College in the early '80s and I bought the shipyards managers daughter's car, it was a big Impala with push bars on it, looked like a police special in a dark brown!
I knew nothing about salt and the devastation...
Nice review, good to see the 4Runner hasn't changed in its off and on Road antics.
This is a bit off of the topic, but how do you folks in Colorado handle the rust? I guess where my head is really going is from seeing friends Subarus and RAV4s that have been subjected to the heavy salt, they...
