I'd love to come! Not sure if I'll have the 3rd gen fixed by then. And I'm not too sure I want to wheel the new 4th gen. Lol

Correct me if I'm wrong. But doesn't the 2003 Limited have full-time 4wd (AWD)? Are you having problems with the center diff, or low range?

So the other day I noticed my transmission looked a little damp. It looks like there's a loose bolt. I tightened it. Still looks the same. Can fluid even drip from this bolt? It just looks like it holds the casing together. I don't know much about transmissions other than the basics. No trouble...

Is it normal for wheel bearings to fail this early? The truck came from Pittsburg and has it's fair share of rusty bolts. Nothing too bad. I wouldn't think parts like bearings/joints/etc should be failing this early.

It's in the shop now. Hoping it is wheel bearings and not something like a bad front diff or transmission. But I can't get it to make the noise again! I had it happen the other night, and about a week prior. I have no idea what triggers it. It's just randomly happens. My mechanic hasn't had the...

Meant to put that it's a V8. Haha. I absolutely love the iForce. I don't love the fact that it's the only Toyota motor ever made that is timing belt driven and also an interference motor. Otherwise I'd probably never change the timing belt. My 3rd gen is about to hit 170k on the original.

So I've had my 3rd gen for a while now. I just got my 4th gen a few weeks ago. 2003 Limited 4x4 at 103k. So far I love it. I'm gonna go broke with the timing belt and tires that need to be done. Now to top it off, I've got a bigger problem which seems like it will be costly. I'm getting a...

A little update. Well. Big update that will get its own thread, in a different section of the forums. This 4th gen now sits in my driveway next to my 3rd gen...

I haven't gotten it yet. I may get it some time this week. If not, I'm going to look at a 99 at SR5 auto brokers. I think my mom is trying to surprise me with it on thanksgiving since my 18th birthday was Friday. Her gift to me was co signing a loan. Which I'm gonna use on a new 4Runner...

Also, any plans for aftermarket skids?

I have to say. You've put a lot of work into this build. Your rig looks awesome. Keep it up Drew!

Going to look at it today! I'll report back later on. Hoping to get it for around 8600.

All windows? Or just matching the front two with the back ones?

There's a guy here in Chattanooga who has an 01 Sport Edition with Toytec coilovers in the front, SuperFlex Coils in the back, TRD Supercharger, 2 inch Toytec BL, and 33s. It's got a lime green wrap on it to advertise his business. Great truck. It's a shame that it is a supercharged, lifted...

What would you pay for that 4Runner? I may try for 8800-9100.
