2001 Toyota 4runner Sport 2wd. Great condition! 180k miles. Drive it 40 miles a day for school. Gives me no problems at all. What I done to the car since I owned it: Added new radio and speakers. Now has bluetooth setup. New front brakes and rotors New radiator (no pink milkshake. replaced...

I love these conversions. Has anyone ever seen a 4runner grill on a Tacoma? I wonder how that would look?

I get a whining sound in 1st gear when I hit the gas. I talked to my mechanic about it and he said its just a planetary gear and that its common on Toyotas. He also said I have nothing to worry about. After doing some googling around, I found out first gen Lexus RX owners complain about the same...

I like it. What do you guys think?

I feel good about my 4runner. I get 300 plus easily on a full tank and I do city and LA freeway driving. I almost drove 200 miles so far and I'm slightly above half a tank.

Yeah, I did a Blue Book search online and for a 2wd sport in good condition with that many miles goes for 4500. Seems kinda low. I would think 5's would be fair.

My buddy has an 01 4runner Sport just like mine but with 182,000 miles on it. He wants to sale it and he wants 5,700. Do you guys think thats way to much?

On a good day, I can drive 100 miles until my needle drops down to 3/4 if I "overfill". Then after that, the needle slowly drops faster then after half it drops really fast. Overall, I can get 300-315 miles on a full tank (after fuel light is on) on LA freeways and streets so that ain't bad for...

I too am interested in buying plugs and wires. Whats a good site for cheaper parts?

If I had a nickel for every time I seen a "Radiator or Tranny Cooler" thread, I would be able to buy a 5th gen Limited easily. Haha but anyway, I just replaced the radiator and was done with it. If my previous one lasted 167k miles, I think my denso replacement will last just as long so I...

As awesome that this is, this probably has to be super rare. Heck, even reaching 250k on the original tranny and engine I would think would be a feat in itself. Cars are so random. I seen guys on this forum who blew rods at 125k miles and cracked heads at 199k miles and they babied their...

I photographed every car there. I'm only missing the high end stuff like Rolls Royce, Ferrari, etc. Did not have time to go over that way. Enjoy. 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show - a set on Flickr

Sounds like a planetary gear maybe? I have the same problem in 1st gear. Had the problem since I got my runner. My mechanic says its nothing to worry about.

Well then ChildrenOfBodom, let me do some research now and look into buying the parts first of the year. If you install this lift and wheels for me, I will will handsomely reward you in the form of american currency.
