Not too, too bad. That is normal rot here because of our climate and all the salt they use on our roads in the winter. The plastic rocker cover over the running boards on the Limited keep the moisture there causing the rot to happen faster. The bottom of the rear door where the flare is attached...

Got the passenger side rail in :) ! After capping it and grinding it smooth(well almost smooth :P!), test fit it... And all welded in and sitting on it's wheels again... I still have to seam seal it, prime, & paint :) ...and on to the other side this coming weekend :P !! I will...

Got to cutting out the passenger side rocker panel... First things first, remove the running board. We were amazed the bolts actually came out :P! After removing the plastic cover this is what was left... All cut away ...this is the passenger side rocker panel removed :P ! Angle...

A few questions I have on my "new-to-me" 99 Limited... 1) What is the stock axle gear ratio? 2) What is the TC gear ratio for 4-lo 3) 4wd - The h2-h4 postion of the lever is 2wd, then with the button pushed, AWD?, then actually moving the lever actual 4wd (tc splits powere 50/50 rear/front)? I...

Try checking out your local salvage yards for various parts. Also try and find local 4x4 clubs too. the local guys in your area may be able to point you in the right directions :)

Just got myself (well the wife, more accurately :madgrin: ) back into a 4Runner. We picked up a 99 Limited over the weekend. Got a little work to do to it and hopefully should be good to go. Not too much of a stranger to Toyotas, I had a '81 Pick-up years ago, and then later a '76 FJ40 as a toy...
