My '00 Millennium Silver SR5 Highlander - Toyota

bhowle · 09-02-2009, 07:18 PM

Hey, just wanted to introduce myself and my T4R. Picked it up this past Sa****ay, all stock with 161k on it. I sold my Infiniti G20 a month ago, and was originally looking to get an S2000 to replace it. After finding out what kind of interest rate the dealer wanted, I decided to find something I could just pay cash for. My Dad has a 2nd Gen that I've always loved, so I decided to start looking for a 3rd gen and found this one.

Here are a few pics as it sits:

Immediate plans include a new headunit (Eclipse 5030), getting rid of those gold badges (blechhh!) and some 265/75/16 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I also plan on doing a full fluid change since I don't have any service history on the truck. Front brakes need to be replaced as well- rotors are warped to hell and back. Everything looks pretty clean, but I feel better knowing its all fresh

Nice! Looks very clean for 161K

K.C. · 09-02-2009, 07:39 PM

Absolutely Gorgeous!!

I'm not that educated w/ the 3rd Generation...but that's the exact one I like!!

But I like the other wheels. Anywho...I love that it's silver & love absolutely love the fat fenders.

Thanks for the compliments

I'd actually prefer to have the Sequoia 17" wheels, but unless I find a set in the next month, I'll be sticking with these. The property I hunt on has some pretty nasty hills, and I doubt these highway tires will do very well on them.

Glad to see another new member! Very Nice 4Runner!

Clemsonfan15 · 09-02-2009, 09:04 PM

Nice 4runner.

It might not be that hard to find the 17" Sequoia/Tundra rims. I bought a set from someone in Columbia about 2-3 months ago.

Running-Riot · 09-02-2009, 09:55 PM

She's beautiful!

Makes me wish I had a 4X4.

Where'd you find them listed?

Clemsonfan15 · 09-02-2009, 10:45 PM

Craigslist. There was one set in Greenville and one in Columbia. The one in Columbia was cheaper so I went down there and got them. Only paid $200.

GatorGreg · 09-02-2009, 10:56 PM

Nice find - she's a beauty! Normally I'm not a big fan of gold badging but for some reason it doesn't look all that bad - I dare say it might actually look pretty good. I must be getting old

Looks like you got yourself a really nice one!

It seems very clean for a truck with that amount of miles on it. I've always liked the way millenium silver looked with that scooped hood!

Elton H · 09-03-2009, 06:00 AM

hmm soo they still used that awesome color interior ..... im thinking some satin black 17" Sequoia/Tundra wheels and led tails paint the emblems black and ditch a few on the rear would make it looks real sharp

i 100% agree. that would look perfect.

and did you put the t4r sticker on the back or was that there when you bought it?

LINY4Runner · 09-04-2009, 10:34 AM

Nice 4Runner dude! Got another one reppin' Millennium Silver!

Hey if you ever wanna get rid of that ugly hood let me know...I have the non-scoop hood that's pretty rare, everyone wants one.
