Yes, please, could you do a video showing how to plasti dip the badges?

@Invertmini1212 22 күн бұрын

Just look up on KZfaq... So many, it's been around for many years so tons of experts on it. Very easy to do, I blacked out my Limited with Plasti 👌

Recommendations on installing a rear hatch spoiler?

Good list for the 4runner, I'd also add the OEM Ashtray + Lighter swap over for the center console for an extra 12v and LED marker lights/turn signals for pre-facelift models.

Both good ideas!

A cheap (safety) mini mod I did on my N Blue 4th Gen is installed a Red LED Tail/Brake Light in the trailer hitch. It really draws your attention especially when you tap on it. You feel a little - safer when you hit traffic and an 18 wheeler is barreling up behind. Also Amber led's for the fog lights. They stand out more in rain and dark conditions iIMO

Thanks for the ideas. Yes please a plasti dip video would be great.

Just did a hyper dip on my emblems. They look good from 10 feet away but I wish I would have practiced on something else first. It’s not as easy as the videos make it out to be.

On my old frontier I went to the tint shop and they charged me $100 for the two fronts to be tinted a year later when I got a Tacoma, I went back to the same tint shop place and the same windows it was $250. for the whole truck it was like $500 and if I went to ceramic, it was $1000. I was like how is it that much. 😂 love the video, Auxtio LEDs are definitely the way to go I run those all the time.

To each their own but I grew up on a cutting horse farm in the N. Ga mountains, and have always thought of a truck as a tool. I don't understand people who drive a truck and seldom use it as a truck. I drive my 4runner because I live on my sailboat in Florida. I park on the beach, the roads flood pretty much every day, and I dive so I can keep gear in it without too much worry.

4:00 bro, projector headlight housings are designed for HID lights and reflectors are best with LED bulbs.

@TheDillyRay 21 күн бұрын

Nice video, thank you. Have you had any issues with your taco headlights? I bought a set after you did your install video on them, my inner reflector housings flop around inside. I contacted Nilight but haven’t heard back from them yet.

@CanadianGearhead 21 күн бұрын

No I haven't had any issues with mine - if you don't get a response, let me know and I'll reach out to my contact there for you!

i put the in-channel AVSs on my ford in 2018, and they were never a problem (manual crank, but i don't think the motors would mind). i don't think i've rolled the window all the way up since, and they're still sticking in there just fine. in-channel on the 4runner is harder to find (read: no one on amazon has them any more), but they do still exist. just need to make my front windows work before i can install them. i don't like chrome, and i've got a little less than your tacoma, but the grille is the only bit i think is bordering on offensively blingy

Hey I’ve got a 2007 4Runner with 134,000 miles. Do you know of any maintenance I might need to do it? Nothing has been done to it besides brakes, engine oil, and tires. I did recently replaced the spark plugs. If you could help me out that would be great.

@mikelamp8118 20 күн бұрын

I have the same with 131K. I just changed fluids for front & rear diff, transfer case, brake lines and power steering. I also had the tranny drained and refilled, but I also did it at 60K miles which is recommended. If you have never drained and refilled your tranny, you don't want to do it at all if it's never been done and you are over 100K miles. This video from The Car Care Nut is worth your time. The 5:00-minute mark discusses when not to do the tranny service. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLCiZpOjm7i2l6s.html

@@AK_what_it_do I have not. Toyota says my timing cover is leaking, which is supposed to be common with the V6. They say to replace the water pump when doing that job. But, it's nearly $3500! Mine is barely leaking. I'll just keep an eye on it.

suspension, fox 2.0 is good. you’ll be set for another 100,000 plus. do the spark plugs and ignition coils. clean the throttle body and sensor. like someone else said do the diffs and transfer case if you have a 4x4

Most of the problem with the in channel sunvisors are due to how people install them. I have had them for many many years and never an issue however it is easy to install them incorrectly.
