This factory service and repair manual is written for the 2004 Toyota 4Runner and keyed to your exact year, engine and trim, whether the truck left the line with the 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) or the 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE), so the specifications and tightening sequences it quotes are the ones Toyota released for this vehicle rather than values approximated from an adjacent year.

Known issues on the 2004 4Runner. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first is a vehicle speed control defect at the accelerator pedal: the pedal can stick open, which may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop. The second covers the side curtain-shield air bags, which can deploy unexpectedly and increase the risk of occupant injury. Owners have filed 846 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 78 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are chasing an air bag fault, inspecting the accelerator pedal and throttle linkage, or working through scheduled maintenance on the V8, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the correct specification for this 4Runner.
