@@gavinvaneyk5593 Have you gone to the Toyota 4Runner website and looked up your question. Tons of information on there. If you type that question in Google that site will automatically show up. You probably already did that though.

[@mountainsriversandtrees1474]

Have you ever discussed in a video (or anywhere else) how to fix both a 4LO and/or center diff? Neither of mine wanted to engage last time I checked this past spring. Mine's a 2004 Ltd V8 with full time 4WD and I'd like to get it all working before winter. Great videos by the way. Your channels a great source for everything 4th generation 4R.

[@trickflow75]

What is a good thing to also mention is that the visor card in the truck has all this information written, this can help explain all the modes from the manufacturer.

Bought my second 4runner today once my first one kicked the bucket and the power steering went out. My old one was a 2WD 98'. I desperately needed this video to make sure I didn't hurt my new 2003 100,000ml baby! Thank you very much this was exactly what I needed to know!

I have a 2005 SR5 V6 that I purchased brand new. Last month just hit 300K and it still runs like a charm! I have replaced the water pump once and the thermostat twice. That's about it. Change the oil around 3-5K religiously. Within the last year I added TRD wheels, Prinsu roof rack with 42:" light bar, Baja Design ditch lights, RIGd Ultraswing, CBI rock sliders, Rago molle panels front and rear. Waterport Weekender, HiLift jack, Plano single and double cases, Victory front Blitz bumper, bottom skids. Tomorrow adding Smittybuilt winch and front bumper light bar! There are so many aftermarket mods. Hope you have deep pockets! LOL 😂

Thanks for the *mandatory crunching* warning because I was startled engaging 4Low for the first time. I read in other places that it's also good to roll forward at 2mph (while in neutral) to have gears align easier without the crunch.

I saw some of your videos when I was looking specifically for a 4Runner or Tacoma. When an 07 Limited with the V8 was available in my town I jumped on it!!! Only thing wrong with it was the AC not working. I've had it in the shop and was told it is the "sun load sensor" causing the problems. Now I'm watching your videos about this 4Runner until mine is ready to pick up from the shop. I also didn't know until after I bought it that they are prone to rust underneath. Turns out mine is unfortunately... Up top is absolutely immaculate Shadow Mica!

[@1Daddoz1]

Great videos! Very informative and easy to understand. I just picked up an ‘07 V6 Sport, leather and loaded with every factory option. Only 40k original miles in literally mint condition and dead stock, no mods. I took it out on a pretty rutted and challenging trail in Southern California (South Palomar Divide in Temecula) the weekend after I bought it. I only used 2WD and it negotiated everything like a champ. I’ll be up in the hills this weekend to use 4WD so this video is going to be very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 😎👍

I just got my 2008 Runner two days ago and I am so excited to go off roading with it. This was a great video to help me get started. Thank you!

[@SuziPoozi]

I bought my 07 Sport V6 used and have learned from this video that when I've put it into 4 hi, the diff lock has been engaging because the last owner had it set that way. I've had it since 08 and didn't know that's what the light meant, I thought it was just showing it was in 4WD. 😳 Thank God it hasn't broken yet.

[@sriggs4038]

I just found your channel. I recently got an 03 V8. OMG! I love that thing! I am going to look at your site too as I know people have said to do certain things monthly to your 4runner. So, I just put it into 4lo and without accelerating, I let it go back and forth in my gravel driveway. I also got my first 4runner the end of January. It's a 22 TRD Pro. I have yet to put it the other gears. So, I need to see what all I'm supposed to do. Both 4runners are similar but yet, so different. I love the pick up the V8 has. It's really quick! Thank you!!

[@cabotom13]

Great Video! Thanks. Briefly, I have a 2005 8cyl 4Runner. And it doesn't take sharp turns very well. Ihad an OLD bronco years ago with locking hubs and when you had the hubs locked for 4WD it also didn't take sharp U turns or hairpin turns very well. Just wondering if there's an issue on the front end somewhere somehow? VSC TRAC is on all the time below that is light it says VSC OFF. As is the Electronic Stability Control stay on too. But I don't like the way it feels or sounds when making a sharp turn. The car actually won't necessarily allow me to turn too sharp. Strange...

When I engage either the the differential lock or the 4 low they just blink and that is when I do it in neutral. I'm afraid if I take it to the dealer I'll be in for a $3,000 repair bill so I think I'll just leave it.

I'll use the 4th gear setting when towing out of overdrive, otherwise I only use the rest when I'm in 4lo and wanting to stay in 1st or 2nd gear. You can still build some speed up when you're in higher gears (even in 4lo) so it helps for crawling

Is it still making grinding sounds when you're driving normally? If not, that might have just been the ATRAC system kicking in when it was trying to find traction. Try engaging the different 4WD settings in a gravel parking lot and see if it still makes loud noises - if it doesn't, you're probably fine
