I was thinking magnaflow for cat back 2003-2022 Toyota 4Runner Performance Exhaust System | MagnaFlow - https://www.magnaflow.com/products/19546-magnaflow-2003-2024-toyota-4runner-overland-series-cat-back-performance-exhaust-system but had difficulty finding headers for a reasonable price...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but does anyone have a recommendation for the 4.0L v6? I have an 05 that needs the cat and tailpipe replaced. Was hoping to replace the headers too if I can get some for a reasonable price.

To be fair, the 1GR-FE has a stupid bend in the dipstick holder and can make it difficult to read.

Yeah was gonna say re-time it. Try a different mechanic who knows how to do more than an oil change.

That was all you man, good job!

Get your $5 volt meter, turn the fog lights on, and see if you got power to the connector where the bulb goes to. If so, try reseating the bulb. I've had issues with mine disconnecting until I realized I had to push it in farther to hear another click.

Not an expert by any means, but yeah the is usually for movement in the 6 and 12 + 3 and 9, very fine amounts of movement, as if the lugs seem loose.

Toyota dealer lacked confidence? Usually they jump at the opportunity to take your money :rolleyes: I think I'm due to replace my wheel hub assemblies, that could be something peripheral you check. Did you get an alignment on it?

Unsure about the torque converter being an issue (could try checking Toyota-4Runner.org - https://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/22622-lock-up-torque-converter.html for troubleshooting). Could be the throttle position sensor going out, is it throwing any codes?

I did a 2.5 inch in the front (2.5 rear) with the intention of adding a modest steel bumper/winch. I went with yotamafia for parts. They worked out for me, adjusted my front struts before shipping so that I didn't have to tension springs myself -- Bilstein 5100 | OME RTR Lift Kit - 4th Gen...

Thank you all for your awesome advice! I'm going to get my tie rod and ball joints replaced since it's about time for that. In the future I might get new uppers to accommodate the 2.5 inch lift up front. I gathered this will be ideal for my daily driver setup, and won't require $5k investment.

Background: A couple years ago I installed bilstein 5100 struts and OME springs on the rear--plus 270/70/17 tires. I've got squeaks on my front suspension coming front multiple spots, but primarily the steering tie rod. I got an estimate to replace both front ball joints and tie rods for about...

I'll pick up some calipers this week and see if I can help out

That's basically what I did. The bilstein shocks are very similar. I did OME springs too. The 265/70/17s will rub like the last 2 degrees on the wheel, so it's not that big of an issue but something to be aware of.

These guys did an alright job for me. Paid for what I expected. https://yotamafia.com/product/2003-2009-toyota-4runner-3-lift-kit/
