That looks awesome, might have to pick one up myself.

Good to know, thanks. Did you look during both winter and summer?

No, didn't mean that, just meant that you said what I've kind of been thinking about in the back of my mind. I mean, I work from home and I take care of the baby so I don't really HAVE to drive on those big snow days, I can usually just wait for it to melt. But it would just be nice to know it's...

Are you just looking for a good carrier, or are you looking for something that looks specifically like a backpack, like the one you linked? We have tried several and the Ergo is by far our favorite, very comfortable for long periods of time: Amazon.com: Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel...

I think you may have just convinced me to wait until Spring, or until Memorial Day to see if gas prices go up... :moping:

Yeah, that's crossed my mind. I wasn't sure if there would really be a significant difference in price, but maybe. Do you think the price of a 4runner will go down in summer? I hear we're supposed to get hit with some crazy gas prices...but I've been hearing that for a while...

Thanks for the review. I emailed the guy.

BTW, were there any issues with the 2003 (first year of the 4th gen) as compared to the 2004? Any reason I wouldn't want an '03 instead of an '04? I think I read something about a recall?

This is true...and I don't drive into the mountains all that much. But a few days before Christmas this year I got caught in that big storm driving on my way back to Denver from Fort Collins. I had my mother, wife, and baby girl in the truck, and was totally fishtailing and sliding almost the...

Thanks...I mean, if I can get a really good deal, I might not mind trading up just a bit, but I really want to do an even trade because in a year or two I plan to upgrade to a later model, like 2009 or 2010.

looking at this one now: timing belt etc. done, 112k. ***2004 Toyota 4Runner V-8 Sport

Thanks for these tips. I also agree that knowing the history of the vehicle is a good thing...I'm just jonesing for that four wheel drive...

I should clarify I want a V8 4WD 4runner. I just called on the one I wanted and it was already sold (2004 V8 Limited with 92K) . I think realistically I may have to get one with just over 100K instead of just under. Because I would really like to get a Limited. Still a good trade IYO?

Now I know this is a 4Runner enthusiast forum, and obviously the opinions are going to be biased, but...I want you all to *try* to be objective here... :) Here's my situation: I have a 2005 GMC Sierra V8 1500 2wd with 62K miles. Don't owe anything on it. I live in Colorado and it can get hairy...
