I think I would have just taken them off and capped the flares with the mud flaps if I had been willing to pay for them, but I actually ended up selling the truck a few months later and never had to worry about it. I really liked the look with the running boards but I think I would have liked...

And a few more... They aren't necessarily the best quality, but they had to be a small enough file size to fit on here and should still give you an idea of what it's like.

Here are appropriately sized pics.

Wow...Well those came out terrible. Let me see if I can find a way to make them look a bit better.

PS: Actually after double checking tonight it is actually closer to 182,000 miles than 181,000. It's basically at 181,8XX for the moment, although I'm not planning on driving it much now short of going to get it washed, take pictures, and parking it back at the house. Just FYI.

No locker, just 4WD. I'm going to get it washed in the morning and then take some pics of it tomorrow. Will post them tomorrow afternoon/evening if I can get them ready fast enough.

Hate to say it, but I bought a new car on Saturday and I'm now looking to unload the 4Runner. It's been an awesome truck that I've always been really attached to, but after repairs over the last six months I decided it was time to turn to something more new. So since I'm in the market to sell...

I mainly did the swap to the clear lenses because I absolutely despised how those amber turn signal lenses looked in an all chrome bumper. However, the set I bought off ebay came with the turn signal lenses and the clear corners so I ended up doing both and like it better. Nothing particularly...

Here is what my black 4Runner looks like with clear corners and turn signals. I prefer them to the amber but my truck is obviously a very dark color.

Plugs and wires were both replaced in Oct 2010 (Actually wires and plugs were replaced in Aug 2010, then plugs were replaced again in Oct because one was faulty). I'm going to go ahead get the oil changed and clean the MAF, and probably run some stuff through the gas lines and such. We'll see...

The plugs and wires shouldn't be the issue. Replaced them only a few months ago. I am about due for an oil change...Could also look into cleaning the MAF. It was the tailpipe test at 15 MPH that was failed.

So I took the truck in for a smog test today and it managed to barely not pass. Everything was better the average except my NO (PPM) measurements were just a bit high at 15 MPH. It passed at the 25 MPH mark but was way above the average. The max for the 15 MPH was stated to be 508 and my...

So I came home one night about a week ago and found that one of the end caps on the passenger side running board had fallen off. So I'm looking for a replacement if anyone has one laying around. Here's a pic: Or, I'm considering just ditching the running boards and seeing if I like the look...

Ya I'm not a happy camper right now. I didn't see the oil turn tan or anything related. Only started noticing issues less than a week ago. Didn't have any leakage or fluid issues until yesterday I noticed a little spot of something in the driveway after I'd dropped it off at the shop. Not sure...
