    Winch Control Box Location

    Okay, thanks. I was wondering about having to cut the grille. Based on my measurements, there is no way to get the winch in there w/o cutting the grille. I have the same grilles as yours shown.

    Winch Control Box Location

    I recently installed an Addicted Offroad Plate bumper on my 2000 limited. I am now looking at installing a winch. As with most of these bumpers and winches you run out of room for the control box to attach directly to the winch. I am not going to cut my grill if at all possible. Any...

    Anyone get much past 300k on a 3rd gen 4runner?

    Just spent $4k on my 2000 limited with 225,000. All new suspension wheels and tires - upgraded. (easy to do these days when you have others do the work). The truck is so solid I can't se any value in dropping $50k on a new one to match what I have. About all it needs is the typical head gasket.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    It was time at 225,000 for suspension attention. Tires were done so it made sense to go all in with upgrades while replacing. New upper and lower CArms, Ball joints and Eibach Pro Truck level one suspension. Take-off wheels from a FJCruiser moved me up to 17", and take-off KO2's with 5k miles...

    Show us your rack!

    Love a good rack. So what is the consensus on the best way to secure a rack to the roof? Using the factory slot somehow, or another way? In my case I have a Limited 2000 3rd gen. Have had a set of Thule crossbars and feet on it for some time but would like a decent 3/4 length (from the...

    The Terminal List-New FJ??

    I'm watching. 1st episode only so far. One of my favorite book series. Saw a couple models already and have been purposely on the lookout since they are a thing in the books. A little disappointed with the casting of Katie. Supposed to be a good looking blonde. Just say'n.

    Option for Suspension Replacement

    Would like some of your thoughts on this as an option to replace the suspension on my 2000 limited. the suspension is tired and old so I figured I'd go ahead and take it up a notch while at it and add some better looking wheels. A local 4x4 shop came up with the following package" Eibach...

    20 years of ownership, time for some restoration/maintenance

    Hey speedy 228,000 miles My bumper is generally fine but since it's the original painted silver nice bumper, it's now pretty pitted and chipped. I like the look of the overland bumpers so figured that might be a cool way to go instead of re-painting the existing. Plus may help with the...

    20 years of ownership, time for some restoration/maintenance

    Yep, same here. Bought my 2000 Limited new in AZ. Millennial Silver. Even still have the original window sticker in the glove box. I retired it to first the wife for about a year and then to the kids. It's made it safely so I am about to start putting money back into it. Figured they are...

    Transporting kayak

    Yeah, sit on top kayaks are not light, especially that last hoist up on top of the truck. Too long to stick out back too, and messy. We have 4 plus SUP's so I went ahead and got a 10' trailer and welded up a rack system for it that can be removed and changed as needed. plus get to use the...
