After a full brake pad and rotor replacement, I concluded that the vibration I experiencing was due to the brake parts that were previously installed on my car. With the new brake pads and rotors, I felt zero vibration with braking. Here’s how to replace brake rotors on a 4th Generation Toyota 4Runner.
After going through an ordeal with the last brake shop, I ended up with brakes that would vibrate whenever I came to a stop. After dealing with this and the problem becoming worse, I decided to replace my brake pads myself. I decided on a set of Toyota OEM brake pads and could not be happier with the result.
Over time, engine air filters can catch dirt, leaves, and debris and so they need to be cleaned and eventually replaced. Luckily, air filters are normally incredibly easy to replace. Here’s how I replaced mine on my Toyota 4Runner.
I wanted to make sure my family and I were safe from the effects of UV rays that come from the sun. I also wanted to reduce the amount of heat that entered the vehicles through the windows. Because of these reasons, I got my 4Runner windows tinted.
This listing came up on Craigslist for a 2003 Toyota 4Runner in Galactic Grey over in Fairfax, California. It took me an hour to drive there to meet the seller, but when I got there the 4Runner that drove in looked a bit different from the posting I saw…
I decided to replace the front and rear differential fluid on my 2003 Toyota 4Runner. The differential fluid lubricates the internal gears, which help transfer power from the driveshaft to the axle. If I want my car to continue running smoothly, I needed to get this maintenance item done.
The fluid in the transfer case normally lives a pretty easy life under normal driving conditions. My vehicle was at about 200k miles and although I drive pretty mildly, I believed it was time to replace the fluid due to the age of the vehicle.
I’ve been removing and installing my interior trim pieces over and over again while trying to diagnose my recent engine codes. In the midst of it all, I realized that the trim piece that goes around ignition ring, bezel, trim, plate (the official OEM name for it)–whatever you want to call it, went missing…
The stock 4th Gen 4Runner head unit is terrible… there are so many direct-fit Scion head unit options out there for our cars. I’ve gone from the oem radio, to the T1806, to the T1814, and now looking to upgrade to the new T10015 head unit!
