argh~! Sorry man...can't suck much more than that. Any word?

update?...can't wait Big fan of the mfg. interaction, and something 'new' for our 'old' rigs~!

Ack~! That sucks. I'll be checking mine VERY soon, ty for the heads up. Sorry that happened to you bud.

spare/steering I'm currently running some oddball tires on my '97 4x4: Front: Passenger 255 70 16 , Driver: 265 75 16 Rear: 285 75 16's It's definately 'cattywampus' , but drives o.k.-I do have to keep the steering wheel cocked a few degrees to offset pull from the smaller tire (pulls to the...

thanks..tools? Appreciate the feedback, and I've already got a buddy coming to help (he just doesn't know yet..) From looking at it, my impression is that only a couple bolts hold the liftgate brackets to the roof. Guess I'll find out when I go to yank the replacement.

lift Am about to do the same thing to mine...you're in the right place here, huge amounts of 'already done that' info and writeups! Toytech has a pretty nice pkg for 3" lift for about $1000: Ultimate lift kit for 96-02 4Runner - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift...

welcome! Congrats on your upgrade! Just kiddin'..both great vehicles that won't let you down, and loads of fun, w/ no monthly pmt, unless self-induced!

Not too long ago, I went over some railroad tracks and my boat trailer unhitched, slammed into the liftgate, and wasted it. I found a 1999 sitting in a "Pull-A-Part" yard, which I think I can buy for about $100 w/ glass. Will this fit my '97, and how difficult to swap out/pull the replacement...

... '97 Ltd 4x4 @ 243,000 miles. I was thinking about buying a 2006 F150 recently, but had an awakening and decided to (re)build my 4runner instead....can't wait!

fuel filter, etc Thanks again for quick responses. I'll have my neighbor run the scanner on rig again once he's home. Those two codes were gotten pre-purchase of 'new' aftermarket MAF sensor. Autozone already sent my core/old one back, and it's a 2 day wait for a replacement of their unit, if...

test on driveway? Wow..thanks for the quick response~! How would I perform a pressure test on the driveway? What items in particular would you suspect / replace A-Z? Cost is a concern at this pt, so maybe cheapest to highest? (I know that's a trap..heh) Thanks again~!

I'm starting this new post in hopes of getting some more input to get my rig back on the road. For lengthier reading, please refer to Skidpalace's thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/60270-my-runner-left-me-dead-road-please-help-diagnose.html Basically, my rig died while driving...

MAF gamble Ok, thanks for quick response and followup Skid..am going to hit a couple local 'junkyards' tomorrow morning, and if no luck, will go ahead and order new aftermarket MAFS. Wish me luck~! Thanks again all, for your input..it's great to have this resource. ~ EDIT2/24/2010: Well, sadly...

junkyard/pullapart thanks for the input..still no answers yet. I tracked down two gen3 4runners at a "Pull-a-Part" in New Orleans, and had a buddy who was there for the weekend drive over and check em out..seems someone had already carved out the air intakes, boxes, mafs, and even the throttle...
