Ok so this has been a bit of a mystery for several days and has turned out to be really stupid and simple. To answer a few of the questions, yes the locker has been engaged occasionally in some deep snow situations and also a couple of times when my son was offroading. It worked well and there...

Ok my son is taking my runner to work today; so I'll have a little time during lunch to take this one for a spin and see what else I can hear. Thanks for the tip regarding the supplier; I wasn't even sure where to start. Google is not your friend here as you get a zillion hits when you type...

I really don't know what to make of your comment. I moderate a technical forum that has to do with the restoration and maintenance of a particular class of sailboat, where because of my experience I am very active and constantly answering questions for years. Some of those people might also...

Hoping someone might be able to give me some guidance here. I've searched the threads but haven't found this specific complaint. We have a 99 Limited automatic with the locker. It has 170K miles and has been in our family since new so we have all the service records and driving history. It...

Thanks! Nothing special at the moment; stock suspension and the stock directionals from ARB, which seem to be working fine for now. He wants to do a mild lift at some point...

Very easy install and thank you I just wanted to extend thanks to all of the folks that posted and shared instructions, links, and videos regarding the ARB bumper install. Studying these ahead of time, and then keeping the Youtube video handy on a laptop nearby, was a huge help. We finally...

I don't think it significantly changes the headroom either way (in comparison to the range on the stock electric seat). At 6'3" I had to slightly duck getting into the truck regardless, but then I have plenty of headroom when seated. (yes there is a sunroof) The Recaro sliders have "legs"...

I took the truck to Monro for the radiator replacement. They had done some good work for me on an old Saab, and they also did the u joint on the truck. They charged me a flat rate of $160 for flushing out the trans after installing the new radiator. There were other line items for parts and...

I have a 1999 Limited, V6, Automatic, currently with 127,800 miles. My truck suffered the "pink milkshake" radiator failure this January at 121,406 miles. I wish I had known about this issue beforehand but I did not fully research everything here, and I have all the maintenance records back...

This is called the Recaro "Style" seat. It comes with power height, power recline, heat, cooling, air lumbar, manual bolster adjustment, manual seat extension, and manual fore and aft adjustment. The one that is pictured in my Runner, I purchased new in 2005 from a shop in California for...

This is my second time around here with a 3rd gen 4Runner. I had a 99 SR5 back around 2002-2007 or so. I just recently acquired a very nice 99 Limited. I had installed a Recaro seat in the first 99. see this original thread: (...

Recaro Thanks for the pictures Redswan. That looks sharp. Thanks for the kind words Mike. Honestly, never got any notifications from the site before this random email a couple of days ago. I had forgotten about the post. Will post some pix once I have the of running, if I can find them...

Recaro seat So I just received an email on this 10 year old thread today, yet never received previous notifications. Very strange indeed. So YES guys this is possible and I did solve the problem. You need to buy a bracket from a company called Wedge Engineering. They are southern California...

I wanted to post an update to a thread I opened back in December. For anyone interested or having a similar problem, the stock cloth seat in my 99 4Runner SR5 was killing my back on my 120 mile round trip commute. I'm 6'3", 215 lbs. I ended up ordering a Recaro seat to replace it. What a...

So I'm not the only one complaining about these seats! I hope I don't have to do a trade to solve this problem! I checked Recaro's website, and also called to verify that they have an adapter bracket for this vehicle. Supposedly I should be able to bolt one right in using the adapter bracket...
