Hey all! There's not a day goes by I don't miss my 4Runner, but I had to move on. Maybe someday I'll get back in one. For now, I've updated the images on this thread so more people can see what I did way back then. Hopefully these last longer! Enjoy, and glad so many are getting good use...

SOLD! to jakeo25. Thanks all.

Price is based off of similar vehicles in this area with account for mileage, condition and upgrades. If you've never looked at prices for 4Runners in the Denver area specifically you would think this is high, but it's I think fairly priced considering the above.

FS 3rd gen 1996 4Runner 5SPD eLocker - Denver, CO - $8500 Hey all, It's time for me to move on, and sadly that means I am selling my beautiful 4Runner. I recently had a second kid born which means I can no longer fit everyone (and everything) I need in the 4Runner (4 adults, 2 kids in...

You're welcome!

Got my truck back last weekend and have had a chance to drive it around.. What a difference with the ride from when I picked up earlier this year! No where near as stiff and not quite as high. Overall, still happy, but even happier it's fixed.

Thanks everyone. This is what I figured was the case. I don't know why the shop would have done them incorrectly the first time (they've never screwed up anything before so I had no reason to check), but nobody is perfect I suppose.

Sorry that I didn't clarify... Perch #1 is the bottom perch (least amount of lift) Perch #5 is the top perch (greatest amount of lift)

This is NOT a lift related question! (thought that might make a few people happy) So recently after my CV boots destroyed themselves and I was looking at replacing them I found my Bilstein Adj 5100s up front up on the 4th (right-side) and 5th (left-side) perches. I thought that was pretty...

Mine is lifted 3" and is a daily driver. However, I only put on 32" tires to keep my MPG up. Another option is to change out your gears to help keep MPG up.

I like the idea. I also don't use those windows too often especially when I'm camping and I have the rear-end loaded with gear. I'm looking forward to seeing this project completed and seeing the truck in person! Good luck!

16 mpg on the highway still seems a bit low. With my lift and little larger tires I was getting 16 with city driving here in Denver. I get closer to 19 mpg on the highway when I'm not towing. Of course I'm also running a manual transmission too. Definitely take a look at your air filter...

Thanks everyone for the replies! I've been out of town at a business conference... on the beaches of California. However, I'm back home now and almost ready to take care of this. I'm going to go ahead and just replace the whole CV axle. I think it'll be way easier for me and quicker as I...

Hey, great forum peoples! I just did a camping trip this last weekend and on the way there my passenger side inner boot of the CV Axle decided to break and threw grease all over the inner fender wall (and area). I know it just tore as I had checked everything (as I always do) before the trip...

I've probably put around $11000 into mine between the purchase price, mods, lift, wheels, tires, and needed maintenance (not including routine maintenance like oil changes). All worth it!
