Thanks for the help! Would it seem odd for all 3 to be bad? I'm the 2nd owner and the 4runner has 225k miles on it, don't know if/when anything was replaced. The single click and failure to start was the first issue so I was thinking it was the starter for sure but then the battery died and...

Awhile ago my 4runner began having issues starting. I'd turn the key and hear a single click, but after another try or 2 it'd turn over until one day when it wouldn't start at all. A week after that I tried starting it after it'd been sitting and the battery was dead. I got a jump and after...

Thoughts? I have a 98 3rd gen limited with 190k miles and I believe my IAC needs replacement or cleaning. I'd rather just replace the IAC at this point and am wondering if anybody has experience with non-oem replacements. OEM seems to run for ~$225ish but non-oem go for around $70. Is the...

I know this is really elementary, but does anyone have a more in-depth writeup of the fog light rewire mod listed here? https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f127/factory-fog-lamp-re-wire-mod-3rd-gen-4runner-75177/ I have a 98 limited with stock hellas and would like to be able to get my fogs to...

I live in the CA Bay Area and you can find really reasonable 3rd gen 4runners here. I got mine which is a limited 98 with 165k miles and the e-locker for $4,000. Taco's are ridiculously expensive and smarter to buy new though. I originally was shopping for a tacoma but they were too cost...

Thanks for the response. There was definitely a shield on there between the bulb and the glass. I wasn't sure that if it was maybe for heat or something and got a little concerned but after thinking about it that seemed stupid. The back reflective part of the fogs was badly peeling when I...

Thanks I considered that too and was wondering if it'd end up being worth it with all the time spent finding a yard and doing the work myself. I'm kind of contemplating how hard it'd be to just buy a block of foam and shape it myself. I figure it doesn't need to bee to pretty if its getting...

Asking because while changing one of my bulbs I noticed that one of the covers between the bulb and glass had broken off at one of the 2 contact points :/ Am I ok to just run them without these things?

I posted a separate thread asking this but didnt get any responses. My driver seat is thrashed and I was thinking about just taking it to an upholstery shop and having them cut some of whats left and shape a new bottom seat cushion to just glue on top, then getting some wet okoles for the...

I have a 98 Limited and love it, but the driver seat is THRASHED. It's my beater vehicle so I don't want to get too spendy here, but I was trying to think about options for repairing the seats. I know this sounds ghetto but... Does anyone foresee an issue with going to an upholstery shop and...

I'm between either a set of 245/75R16 from a 2016 Tacoma ($600) or a set of 265/70-17 ($500) from a newer 4Runner. All things considered I'd like to save a hundred bucks with the 17's but I'm wondering if there will be any rubbing issues or inaccuracy with the speedo since my 98 limited came...

Be careful about advertising your speakers with that Kicker sticker...

Looks mean I like it
