Running boards off a 1999 SR5 Decent condition, just dirty from sitting. I was finally able to get the pic to post

Amazing!! That looks fantastic, thank you for sharing your tips!

So, went out there again and (why does it have to be so damn cold when this stuff happens?) ran the engine a bit and can't seem to see any leaking anywhere. I felt around the hoses and no leaks. But there is a drip coming off the skid plate. Not a big active drip but I can see two drips...

I felt all around the hoses and don't feel any liquid. I was really hoping it was a bad hose or clamp. And yeah, it looks like someone replaced the hoses at one time in the past with those clamps. I got the truck after my dad passed away last July and he bought it used so the history is a...

Yeah, it's so hard to get a good pic but below the radiator hose to the left of the oil filter in the pic, that grey metal area seems to be weeping. That was the best I could figure for an origin after following the drip up as far as I could see.

Hey gang, I did some searching and I thought I figured out the coolant was leaking from the small hose by the lower radiator hose but that doesn't seem to be the case. The coolant seems to be coming from an area on the engine near the lower radiator hose... is this the water pump? I tried to...

No supercharger... just a hood scoop for looks ;)

Thank you all so much!! I cant wait to get her sitting pretty and more usable! I routinely carry around my two dogs and have been thinking about a drawer system so maybe i'll get the stiffer springs in the back...

Hey folks, Suspension. So, I apologize as I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum as I've read countless pages on this topic. But, as I said, the more I read, the more confused I get and the less sure I am of any decision... I have a 1999 I inherited from my father and I believe it is...

So.... I had the same issue. Took it to Discount Tire to check the balance. The guy told me that Toyotas have this complaint all the time with the 10 ply tires. They rebalanced (for free even) and it has helped noticeably. There is still a slight vibration but more more tolerable. They use...

I think the 7443 is a dual filament bulb, if memory serves so not compatible with each other.

A little silly.... But I really dislike phone cables draped across my steering wheel so, I bought this. Tapped it into the cigarette lighter and ran the wires behind the dash. Add a 12 inch phone cable and good to go. To me, the volt meter is unnecessary but if you like it, it’s there...

Great looking rig, it will serve you well! Here's where I started and I learned so much... these folks in this group have been so helpful! I've read more than I thought I could! 3rd Gen Informational Threads --- A MUST READ For New Members

Looks good! I think I'm going to have to order some of these! Thanks for sharing.

Athena I've never named my vehicles - like never never. My gal thought I was crazy and kept trying to get me to name them. So... my '99 Runner is "Athena" because I mistakenly that she was the goddess of the hunt (it's actually Diana). It stuck, so she's Athena. My old Pathfinder was Igor...
