Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you're confusing the engine's power with the wheel's power. Lots gets lost through the fan and the drive shaft ect..... another thing is the reason the power seems like less than it is in the 2.7L is that the max torque is way up at 4000, the 3.4 is...

Same here man! Gotta love owning the rare ones. From what I've heard, you won't get too much more rwhp out of a 4x4 v6, the extra drive shaft steals a lot.

oh man, i want those! don't want to get your hopes up, but how much were you wanting? and i guess you won't be coming to Canada any time soon. lol

You guys should really check out the LED Maglites (Magleds). They have a chip so they don't dim, just die, so I get lithium ion batteries for them, lasts forever. They're way brighter and have a nicer beam than incandescent, not to mention lasting 5 times as long. They are the second best in the...

I'm shocked by this, my first tank (lead foot included) gave me an extra 30k. My last tank where I've been driving more like a sane person but still passing people and revving high at times (gotta love standard) gave me 60k more. I think with careful driving and gentle foot I could get to well...

It all started when I thought there was something wrong with my AC cause it would blow really cold if the button was pressed or not. Turns out that if you have your vents on defrost of foot defrost, the AC is automaticly turned on to remove moisture from the air. Works great when you want it to...

WOW. How can so many people say 4runners are better auto! the only reason i bought mine was cause it was standard. i think you people should just learn better clutch control before you say anything. What really drives me nuts about autos is when you're going up a hill and the can't decide what...

i also have the 3.4L with 5speed and the 16 inch rims, compared to my old 4runner with 4.10 gears (i was pretty sure) i really thought i had 3.90s, now i'm confused. i guess the faster speeds are just due to different gearing in the transmission?

Hello all, when i bought my 2000 4x4 v6 it came with some odd bubbles on the tachometer display, they don't seem to be getting any worse, but i was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I'm thinking of maybe getting some white tacoma gauges as they are in my work truck and i quite like...

i didn't really think of the danger factor, i was thinking of bolting them on securely, but with the g force of a collision, i'm guessing you guys are right. in my old 4runner a had them on the back seat, worked and sounded awesome. i just would rather they were more out of the way this time...

wouldn't be too shocked if he was in 4x4, the rear would have probably just lost traction and spun the ass end around if he was in two wheel drive.

i have a 2000 with no sunroof :( and i want to mount my alpine 6x9s in boxes that rocked my 88 4runner. i'm thinking of attaching them to the roof just behind the back seats. i was wondering if the headliner fastener holes would accept screws and if they are strong enough to hold up the...

I can't believe no one has mentioned this, on here or at the dealer, sounds like a wheel alignment is needed to me. when i bought my 2000 it had the same problem, tie rod was seized and needed a new boot. it was way out of alignment and cost me 50$ to free the seized tie rod, 30$ for the boot...

that must be kilometres, my light comes on between 370-390 depending on 4x4 usage. that's 230-240 miles. i drive it to 450 and still have 6-8 litres left. i wanna try for 500k one day, that's like 310 miles.

Hello all, I've just joined now but have owned 4runners since i was 17. unfortunately in December i was a victim of snow and ice and rammed a 98 dodge ram head on. it's front was crushed in over 18 inches, while my old 88 4runner didn't even crunch 6 inches! i miss that old girl but i went and...
