4:11 Hey dude, love your videos nice and concise. One thing I would add though is to start off by showing the location of the parts being worked on, like is shown in this frame. Because at the beginning where you showed disconnecting the wire from the starter a lot of us don't know exactly where you're working at.

Fantastic video - thank you. I bought my '01 4Runner new and now have 540,000 miles on it. The starter has never been messed with in any way. But I know it can't go on too much longer. :)

You do not have to lower the sway bar! You can remove two bolts holding the brake line move it aside. the Automatic transmission dipstick comes apart right behind the frame rail. The top of it unbolts from the block. Starter slides out from the fender well.

just done this today wasn't too fun but doable mine is a manual transmission... manual there is a bracket shaped like a triangle attached to the transmission two 14mm on the transmission 1 14mm attached to the exhaust if you have a manual transmission you don't have to take the sway bar off you can sneak by the rack and pinion lines but gently moving it aside the fun part is putting the new one up and holding it up to line the bolts in the hole without crossthreading , thanks for the video it helped me out

That truck has so much more clearance then my 2000 t4r. Can’t get this starter out for the life of me

[@dyvrssound5653]

Clear and easy to follow. 2000 2 wheel drive was a easy swap. Thanks!

Guys another heads up if you are messing with any rusted area with the bolts or screws are at please use WD-40 lubricant spray OR PB Blaster lubricant spray

You can buy a set of contacts for 3rd generation 4Runner starters. $14 from the dealer. Very easy fix.

Nicely explained can’t go wrong. Thanks

That car has more rust than the Titanic.😂

[@imfamouswarrior2976]

Did you jack your truck up at all or just lay underneath?

[@94villianvp96]

Starter comes right out, wiggle it straight down, never needed to remove anything, when getting to the two bolts on the Starter, just remove exhaust bracket for clearance, from the time the car went in the air, and back down. 90 minutes, with floor jack. When doing anything electrical on your car always remove batterie terminal,. Difficulty level 3 out of 10. Save money do it yourself

[@christianchesson5016]

My bolts are seized on the bottom part of the starter, any suggestions for getting both of them out? Help or insight from anyone is appreciated

[@eljefeslash]

Nice job! Thanks for sharing. What led you to change out your starter? I have a slow crank, no start situation, so wondering if this is my issue (bought a new battery a few months ago).

V6 or V4?

[@coltonhamilton7550]

So I have a 3rd gen 4runner limited and I watched this video and it was simple enough for me to handle it. I followed step by step and for some reason my starter doesn't even click and it keeps blowing my starter relay. Any idea? the only thing I've noticed is when I plug the single wire into the starter it doesn't click into place no matter how much force I apply.

V6 or V4
