Sorry for the lack of pics but I wanted to get the job done asap. I did valve cover gaskets, battery service and wiper blades today on a 2008 4Runner 4.0. Pretty straight forward and not too bad to do except for one thing. At the back of the upper intake plenum, in front of firewall, there is a support clip that is attached with a 10mm head bolt and there is a hose and clip and a wire loom that attach at this clip, above and below. It is a real PITA to get in there to remove the bolt to release the clip, plus reattach the clip when reassemble. The rest is not bad. Lots more components to remove on the d/s. All the work took me 3.5 hours. The owner is the manager at my favorite taco Tuesday and taco Thursday bar. Have been going in there for over 12 years. By the way, 125k miles and in great shape, thanks to me.
