Now, if you said a HG blew or something bad... diff story.

Anyways, i know your pain, it was a cool truck, looks like you beat on it too LOL...

Yeah on the giant scheme of everything that broke on my 4runner, those are some of the smaller things. My biggest concerns was that the engine never really ran 'right' and I just didn't trust my front end with 35s. I'm not saying I don't trust Toyota IFS fronts with 35s, but mine just seemed to be plagued with issues.

As for the door control relay, you'd be surprised how hard it is to find the same part number relay. I checked, easily a dozen local Toyota junkyards and no one had one.

On the bright side, the 4runner is in good hands. The current owner is doing a solid axle swap and hoping to run 39" tires on it! Should be a pretty sweet rig!
