I have these 2 numbers for you. When I replaced my starter I replaced all the gaskets noted above.

Decided to add some solar. It's a 100W Renogy solar panel. Installed on the roof rack with stainless hardware and hinges so it can tilt. Just need to figure put a bracket to hold it in place when tilted. I'm going to run my iceco jp40 fridge with this and a jackery 300.

Do you mean as in never replacing the fluid?

TPMS Disable Finally got around to disabling the tpms light. I tried the grounding method and it did not work. The light went away for a few seconds and came back. I researched some more and found a post by RH22 that said that later models need to have a 5V source to disable the light which is...

The wiring of the light for the rear bumper was pretty easy. They are the same lights that the front bumper has and are bright. I tapped in to the wires just before it goes into the trailer plug. My neighbor helped me and we used heat shring tubing the whole length. I used t tap connectors from...

Installed the Yodateq hood light kit. Simple install and it provides a lot of light. I had to drill 1 hole for the switch to be mounted. Also showing the SDHQ battery terminal upgrade. It has multiple ports to make it easier to attach accessories.

I used those exact connectors last night to wire my reverse lights on my bumper. Definitely using the right size will help. Also, use a heat gun, it will shrink quick and nice. I've tried a blow dryer and it just doesn't shrink as nice. Ill post up some pics in my thread today

There's a few videos out there showing tests you can do. I lifted the rear and spun the wheels. I felt more resistance in the right rear and also a slight grinding noise. Toyota verified it was bad so I decided to just get both done atthe same time.

Thanks. They will need to be pressed in, so you will need to take it to a shop with the proper equipment. I had a local Toyota dealership replace mine. They charged 1800.

You need to reset the auto close feature. I'm not sure exactly how to do it. I just got a new sunroof assembly put in mine at Toyota and now it opens and closes automatically after pushing the button for a second.

-Rear Bunper The rear bumper went on decent, just a little more work than the front. I did have manufacturing issues with the swing arm multiple times but finally was sent a working part. If you get this bumper make sure to order the $300 side wing supports. When opening the swing arm, the...

-Front bumper and snorkel The front bumper fit nicely. The smittybilt winch just barely cleared with the solenoid moved to the side position. The Ironman snorkel fit great and the template was good. I just need to install the rivets in the pillar. I tried gorilla permanent tape and that did...

Thank you. I had looked at mods for the 4runner for a few years so I knew mostly what I wanted done. The rear bumper came sooner than planned because the bigger spare would not fit in the factory location. I figured if I was going to spend 1k on a tire carrier only I might as well get the full...

I wanted to share all the info on my build as a way to give back to the community that I have learned so much from. I bought this 07 GX470 in October of 2020. It had 128K miles and was completely stock. I came from a 2016 4Runner Trail w/KDSS I bought new. I sold the 4R because we needed to...
