    SOLD: 2000 4Runner SR5, 5-speed manual 4WD, 227K, $8,500; Richardson, TX

    Sorry unicorn hunters, this vehicle does NOT include factory locker... or any locker for that matter. Up for sale is my white 2000 4Runner in good, clean condition. I purchased this vehicle in 2015 from a couple in Idaho when it had 193k on the clock and it currently sits at 227,477...

    CV Axle Boot Question

    I was replacing the boots on my cv axles with OEM boot kit and discovered that I crimped the clamp down with the boot off by one notch. Tried to loosen the clamp up to move the boot and snap! If I were to purchase a new clamp, I would have to take the newly installed inner boot off with all...

    Best Bike Hitch Rack?

    I prefer having unobstructed access to the cargo area and appreciate a rack that has a swing away option. I have a RockyMounts Backstage that I like a lot. The build quality is good and serves its function well, though 1UP and Kuat are probably a bit better. However, with Kuat and 1UP, you'll...

    2019 4Runner not that slow

    Isn't California littered with Prius'? They seem to manage okay. I think the bigger issue is the inconsiderate nature of drivers who seem to take letting you merge in front of them a personal affront. I remember growing up in Houston, you almost didn't dare use your turn indicator because the...

    5th Gen Oil Recommendation? New Owner!

    I feel the same way. It's only in this market that 0w-20 is called for when this engine is featured in the global 150 platform. I've heard all the reasons (engine tolerances and oil passages are tighter, most wear occurs right at start up, etc.) to use 0w-20, but if it's really what the...

    If you had to drive another SUV instead of the 4Runner....

    Sprint Booster will probably not do anything for the vehicle wanting to downshift from overdrive on the hills at highway speeds. The 5th gen likes to get into overdrive as soon as it can and stay there. I find it to be the worst when you are rolling at approx. 40mph and you give it some gas...

    Looking for new floor mats

    Husky's over Weathertech for me, never been overly impressed with the latter. I run the ones in the link below and like them. They have a texture that kind of looks like carbon fiber and clean up super easy. 3 years in and they did have a hole worn through under the right heel of driver...

    CV axles angle up on stock suspension???

    Good to know, wanting to get a King setup and wasn't wanting to go past 2" to keep the ride nice and not stress the suspension components more than need be. It's amazing how much more static clearance I have on the 3rd gen and how much easier it is to crawl up under the truck to work on vs the...

    CV axles angle up on stock suspension???

    Thanks for the confirmation @nb_rob and progress4m I tried to do a diligent search before asking, but only found people wanting to know about the CV angles post suspension lift.

    CV axles angle up on stock suspension???

    This is my 3rd gen for comparison (having approx. 2" lift from stock).
