Removing material from the wheel (what machine shops do) could compromise its structure. Don't go this route; get a wheel that already has the offset you need.
I don't know anything about production capacity on 4Runners, but Toyota's been selling a quarter million Tacos a year for a while now, so it makes sense that you'll see more of them on the dealer lots.
I put a deposit on mine right after it was built, because there weren't any around in the...
I just wanted to respond to this ONE point: you're right that a decent filter won't grenade your engine by starving it of oil, but that's because decent filters include a pressure-operated bypass path. So at a high enough pressure difference across the filter (due to filter media clogging or a...
I was in the same position, and my dealer(s) wouldn't budge off sticker price on the THs, but this would've sold it for me.
Another note for OP @Cole Murphy: if you're planning on adding the air compressor that comes on the TH, it's easier to do if you have they hybrid drivetrain. Just...
I did the exact same (1k oil change, just did a 5k, and will do every 5k hereafter). The dealer service people look at me like I'm crazy every time they see me, but my reasoning aligns with yours. Also:
My engine was broken in during an unusually cold Michigan winter. Every cold start was as...
Even if this were true (it's not), all you would need to do is replace all the bolts you take out and there would be no issue. It's a good idea to replace them anyway, since most of the mounts are clip nuts that would fall off eventually, with no bolt to hold them there.
Here's a tutorial (from...
They make green too (I have green). I found that the Braun light rattles around in the cubby a little bit, so I stuck some 1/4" flexible weather stripping in there, and it's a nice snug fit.
+25 should work just fine.
I'm not sure about your mudflaps; those are usually the first things you have to take off because they're so thick, but try it and see. There's a couple good aftermarket options now though.
These are shipped from Japan, landing on the west coast. Trains are slow, so expect the late end of the window. My estimates were 12/19-1/3. It got delivered to the dealer on 12/31.
Since you're using the same tires, the only change would be coming from wheel offsets. What you're running right now (+19.6 with the spacer) is slightly more tucked, but very close to +18. You really just need to see a +0 to compare.
