    FS: 3rd gen Front SR5 Mud Flaps, Phila, PA

    I have the hard to find SR5 front mudlaps you use after the removal of running boards. 1 new, 2 used. You can see in the pic what you get. There is hardware in a ziploc. I bought these from someone years ago but ended up with a Limited. Now I've been out of the 3rd Gen game for about 4...

    Thinking of upgrading to a newer 4Runner

    I had an '06 Sport Edition in between 2 of my 3rd gens. They are bigger and in my opinion do not feel as nimble as the 3rd. The 4.0 does have some get up and go though! I use my 4runners as my second car/weekend car so I just like the smaller feel of my 3rds. I never looked up the actual...

    Changing out the thermostat, use only OEM?

    Ya, that was my pic of thermostats from last week. I have an Obd bluetooth reader and the torque app. The temp was the same with that cheap thermostat. It will do the job but for how long. The Toyota one seems built to last. As far as jiggle goes, my old 4runner was running 202° with...

    (finally) The Sotovo Build Thread

    By the way, looks good white letters out. I wish I would have chosen white letters with my new tires.

    Radiator HELP

    I've ordered Denso radiators twice now for 2 different 4runners through Amazon. Both fit great and came packed double boxed with Styrofoam on all inputs.

    New 00 T4R LTD - priority maintenance question(s)

    Since intake is removed, clean the MAF and remove and clean the throttle body. You can replace the throttle body gasket at the same time, some recommend the TRD gasket. Get one can of MAF cleaner and one can of throttle body cleaner. I literally went through most of your list this weekend...

    Back again---99 Limited

    Here we go, got the front brush guard off. I didn't hate it as much as I thought but to me a 4runner looks better without. I'll probably sell or scrap. It has some rust bubbling and is bent slightly. Not clean yet Toyota thermostat compared to aftermarket New radiator New plug...

    Back again---99 Limited

    Well, it's one of the reasons I stopped my search for a VW. I saw the miles, the price, the year, the rear locker and thought, these don't come around very often.

    Back again---99 Limited

    62 deg in February! Good day to get out in the driveway and get into it. Truck just runs great but I like to have a good baseline to start with. Also, if it runs this good now, maybe it can even run a little better. Started with this today Mostly from the dealer. I'm lucky that I have...

    Back again---99 Limited

    After selling my last 4runner just a few weeks ago I went on the hunt to find one of my other passions, a VW Westfalia. I've owned 3 over the years in Bus form and Vanagon form. Well, I'm just priced out of the market so I need to continue to save. At this point I'm starting to think it's not...
