I got mine with 168K, I changed fluid in both diffs and once a month, I do about 30 miles in 4Hi. I am pretty sure they previous owner never did it. It is mostly pavement in winter but in summer, get to take some trails.

jlstick2 - I paid $800 for the trailer. It came with four almost new Michelin X radials, three steel rims and a bunch of spare rear and marker lights. Its an open box without a true side frame, the tub was constructed of 3/16th's aluminum diamond plate on the sides and 1/4 inch on the floor...

InfamousRNR, would have liked to attend a meet but I read this after the date! I am in Foster City and work in San Jose - Chris

WMU53, it is not a torsion axle, it is a regular straight drop axle. Right now I have the trailer at a shop, they are extending the tongue, Moving the front trailer jack, adding rear jacks, a tailgate and reshaping and reinforcing the tub top so I can add some weight to it. Once that is done, I...

I see them mostly on full size trucks and SUV's and even some jeeps but never on a 4Runner so I thought I would ask.

I have a 13 foot aluminum boat on a trailer. I am in the process of building out a 6x4 camping trailer so now the dilemma is that I can't take the camping trailer and boat trailer at the same time. I was wondering if anyone has ever mounted a Eide Boat Loader to their 3rd Gen successfully or has...

The day I got it. Kind of scared to drive it considering the DEA stickers all over it! Trip to the Eastern Sierra's a few weeks back. Minor changes at best

All of the above for and MSRP of $25K .........

Thanks for the responses, that expedition portal has some great build information and @MTD and Dirtco's trailers are both beyond awesome and unfortunately beyond my skill level to construct. Been a pencil pushing kind of guy my whole career, would be nice to learn to weld!

Thanks everyone for the knowledge sharing, really appreciate the advice. I bought the trailer off CL for $800. It came with four almost new Michelin X radials (probably not the best tire for a trailer I hear), three steel rims and a bunch of spare rear and marker lights. I have been looking a...

If you know anything about trailers, trailer suspensions and axles, could you lease take a look at my post in the general discussion area - http://www.toyota-4runner.org/general-discussions/208239-help-camping-trailer-build.html I have not received any replies so I am trying to get it out to...

I bought a used 4x6 utility trailer off CL that was home built by a guy who retired from the steel industry and I am in the process of converting it to a camping trailer. He could not tell me much about the carrying capacity so I am reaching out for help on determining a few things, the axle...

In northern California, tow a small boat so I went with a by passed B&M 70266, it does not sit flush with the AC condensor but about a half inch off. was seeing temps from 140 to 180 with external temps in the 70's to 100's. Then I replaced the radiator with a new one so I went in line with...

Only code my runner has ever thrown was a P120, Throttle Position Sensor and that has happenned three times in the year that I have owned it. So I finally replaced the TPS, cleaned the MAF and the throttle body/ they both were pretty dirt, the TB was really dirty, almost like it had never been...

Since my gauge is seriously messed up, like the low fuel light sometimes comes on right after I fill up, I have been tracking MPG since I got the vehicle about a year ago now. I pretty consistently get 18 to 18.5 MPG in a mix of 15% city and 85% highway in commute traffic. I try to fill before...
