If you have access to a Smoke Machine, I would run a smoke test through the EVAP system. I just had to replace my Fuel Filler Neck due to a big leak. If you have the attachment that connects directly to the EVAP Service Port, even better. Otherwise, you'll have to disconnect one of the rubber...

I'll have to see if any local yards have any 4th gens sitting around. I appreciate the suggestion!

Makes sense. I will just monitor the performance and go from there. Thanks!

Swapped out my Spark Plugs and realized about 6 out of 8 Ignition Coils are Cracked/Split. The cracks are less than 1/8" wide and it doesn't appear as if any material is flaking off. I'm assuming I will have to replace these at some point but am hoping I may be able to put it off until I can...

Hey everyone! My screw up is someone else's gain. I ordered this PCV Valve and Hose combo off of Ebay and in the haste of trying to make the shipping cut-off time, I overlooked the part number of the hose. Turns out, I ordered the wrong hose and didn't double check the length before installing...

Really depends on how bad you would rate the rust on the frame. If you think it is something that can be manageable, might be something to consider. 3k may be just a tad high. If it's good for parts, maybe 2,000-2,200 would be ballpark.

I may be biased but, i absolutely LOVE the look of the 4th Gen. These newer 4Runners are definitely not my cup of tea. New Tech is cool and all, but i'm content with what I have. Seems like just more stuff to fix once it goes out.

It's possible... FWIW; when i first got my 4Runner, there was an exhaust leak at the Manifold on the Passenger's side. This sounded more like a tap than a tick. It was audible with windows up, as well as down. The Gasket ended up being worn out to the point it was missing some Material (which...

Not trying to hi-jack; Usually my Pop and I wrench on my rig at home. We have a lift in the garage but sometimes I just don't feel like wrenching so, i'd be interested in a good mechanic in the same region. We are located in Lehi

Double checked them today on lunch and they appear to be ok. We'll see if anyone complains :thumb3:

Gave the Truck some Lasik yesterday! Swapped to LEDs for my Highs/Lows/Fogs. Now i'm one of those turds with really bright lights. Hey, if you can't beat em, join em, I suppose.

Took the truck to get washed. Gotta get all that nasty road grime and salt off of my undercarriage. We're about to get walloped with another couple of storms here to end the week.

Ya'll might see me driving around Northern Utah County! Looking for some locals to link up with. I'm in Lehi, just passed the Point of the Mountain. 03 Sport Edition V8 with a few mods. Let's get this thread revived!

Aim lower. If you can, pay in Cash, you may get a better deal. I picked up an 03 Sport with 133k miles. The seller was asking $8,000 but I offered $6,500 Cash and left with it that day. An 07 with 300k shouldn't go for more than $5,500, IMO.

$6,500 for an 03 Sport Edition V8 with 133k miles. Some minor rust on the undercarriage. Fixed an exhaust leak at the manifold (was just the gasket) Replaced the Power Steering Pump (went out 2 weeks after purchase) Installed a 3" Rough Country Lift Kit Installed Freedom Offroad Upper Control...
