Hello, 2006 4Runner I’ve owned since new.

Starting last week when using the air conditioning the 2 drivers-side vents (circled yellow) started only blowing cabin temperature air while the 2 passenger vents (green) still blow super cold ac air.

Easy fix maybe? Hopefully…

I didn't want to replace my entire tensioner assembly but since the pulley was crunchy I replaced just the pulley. However the belt rides on the inside of the pulley so I feel like it's wrong. Anyone have a photo or part # of just the tensioner pulley?

Hey all, need some pointers here I’m trying to debug a fuse getting blown. It’s the 15 amp TRN-HAZ fuse under the engine hood next to the battery.

I replaced it with the spare 15A fuse and it blew again.

My turn signals and hazards don’t work, and no other issues are present from what it seems all the other fuses are good around it.

Here are the exact steps I did after I replaced the fuse.

I switched to my left turn signal, it only went off ONCE, and so I realized there may be some issue there so I quickly switched to the right turn signal which seemed to be fine it kept going. I wanted to dig deeper so I switched back to my left and it went off only ONCE again, and then I think the fuse blew because I went back to the right and it stopped working too and my hazards didn’t work either.

TLDR: I need help debugging what the issue is for my 15A TRN-HAZ fuse blowing. I replaced it with the spare and the left turn signal only worked by blinking ONCE but the right turn signal worked fine it seemed (kept going for about 30-45 seconds no problem).

I also have a trailer wiring thing the previous owner gave me when I purchased it, it’s an electronic braking system? I attached pictures. From a few searches it seems that the trailer wiring harness could also be causing it?

2004 Limited V8 with about 255k miles

So I bought auxbeam pod lights from Amazon. Hooked everything up and then turned it on with the switch and it was working.

Then I cut the switch and fed the wires through the firewall to the inside so I could wire my aftermarket push switch button.

Didn’t have a volt meter so I guessed on wiring. Couldn’t seem to figure it out. So I tried fusing the original switch back together and the lights didn’t turn on. I might have just possibly did it wrong but I need help.

Glad this post isn’t about something breaking or help fixing something. Finally building confidence in my rig took it on a camping trip last weekend and did a nice long trail today! Everything went smooth!

What can I get to kind of modernize the key fob for my 4Runner? It’s a 2007 and I have have one set of keys but would like to modernize it! Please post links!

Any ideas of how to remove it other than heating it up and pounding the britches out of it? Waiting for a more reasonable time of day to Sledge Hammer and chisel it unless yall have a better idea!

Its corrosion welded to the shank attached to the rear axle. Bolt came out just fine

Car is stock. Want to be able to do some trails/drive in sand and mud. I want to get 275/70R17 ko2s but I’m unsure if that needs a lift or not. Also gonna tint my windows in near future. If anyone has any recommendations on anything I’m open to hear what I can do with it.

Hey yall, I have a job offer back in my home state of Colorado for my dream job and will be making the trek from Phoenix to Denver.

I have an 05 V8 sport edition sitting at about 210k miles and want to make sure it’s dialed in for the trip especially if I’m going to be possibly towing a small uhual trailer.

I’m already planning on taking the I40 to I25 to avoid a lot of the hilly sections but is there any preventative maintenance I should do before to ensure it’s a smooth trip?

It runs great mechanically wise besides a small evap code leak due to the gas cap.

Doing the early 1GRFE dance.
