"Hey guys, just had a bit of a bummer with my 2018 4Runner. I accidentally busted my OBD port (yeah, it happens to the best of us). Anyone out there have a DIY fix for this or knows of a reputable shop that can replace it for a reasonable price?"

"yo, I've had this issue before on my '09 RAV4. Try using a drill press to carefully widen the OBD port - be careful not to damage the surrounding trim. It's a bit of a pain, but it got me out of a bind when I was in a hurry"

"Hey OP, I had a similar issue with my buddy's 4Runner and it turned out the pins inside the OBD port were just bent. We managed to fix it with a trusty set of needle-nose pliers and some patience. Worth a shot, right?"

Yo, that's a bummer about the OBD port. I've seen some people use epoxy to fix similar issues, but I've also heard it can be a temporary fix. You might wanna try searching for "Epoxy OBD port repair" to see if anyone has any success stories.
