I an in the market for a 4runner. A few years ago I had a Tacoma. I lifted it and put 33" tires on it. Just to tow my atv up north was a chore with whatever stock ratio it had. Now I want to get a 4runner and I want to lift it. In anyones actual lift experiences what tire combinations...

Factory Gear Ratio? Man I sure would like to find one with 4.30 gears, and factory e-locker. Anyone know of a simple way to check the gearing on a potential purchase?

These are some great points that set the 3rd gen 4 runner apart from other modern suvs. I like a body on frame vehicle, and I will probably enjoy ride from the independent front suspension down the line. I don't really need to flex much. I will never use it to do any sort of rock crawling, but...

Wow, I want one of these, but I need to buy a 4 runner first. I am working on getting my finances in order. Hopefully I am ready by the deadline, and hopefully we get enough buyers for the greatest discount. I am just about there.

Those are some excellent points. I live in Michigan about 30 miles from Detroit, and I hate the unions. Over the years I have witnessed dozens of union workers who would punch in and leave work, have someone else punch in for them, have secret sleeping areas in the shop, steel supplies and...

Can anyone site a specific detail of what is better. Maybe it has to do with a certain material they use in their engines, a transfercase drive system (gear or chain), a rustproofing process. These are just examples. I am convinced they are the most reliable choice, and I don't really have to...

Mmmm. I have not noticed the steering wheel in the 4runner. I did notice the leather wrapped steering wheels on all the jeeps I have seen, were pretty tattered, and wrinkled. The hard plastic, leather look wheel on my subaru was nice and durable. I will have to pay attention.

Good stuff Thanks guys That is exactly what I am talking about. I like the way steverstrike had some experiences with both grand cherokee, and 4runner. I felt the same way. The v8 in the jeep is awesome fun, but the fit and finish leaves something to be desired over time. Good stuff...

I just sold my subaru outback which I did like. I want something with a little more umph you only get from a lifted 4x4. At first I was/am considering a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Looking to buy what I can afford which will put me right around a 1999-2001. The other vehicle which keeps coming up...
