Looking for the a/c duct out of a 99 runner, the one that is located behind the vents in the center dash. I am updating the int. of my 97 and need the duct that is for a dash that has the clock mounted between the vents. Also looking for the e-brake handle assembly out of a 99 Please PM me if...

The mod is done under the driver side kick panel by your left foot. You must first remove the plastic on the rocker panel and then the kick panel. There are two black boxes under there one of them controls the 4wd with the grey wire coming out of it. This is the wire that people are cutting to...

Tried the grey wire mod today and didn't have any luck. When I connect one side of the grey wire to a ground the locker works as usual and so I tried the other side and it won't engage at all. Don't know what to do I only saw one grey wire under there. Now I've got it disconnected and am...

We all started somewhere. The more you wheel the more you learn. Hope I made it clear as mud. LOL I have only had my runner a week and I love it. You will also learn alot by lurking on the forums. I owned my ranger for 7 years before I found out about all the truck forums. I've learned more in...

Awesome, thanks Definitely never would have found it on my own. I'll check it out this weekend while I'm doing the grey wire mod. woohoo

That's the one I am looking for just curious if I can just unplug mine and plug in the newer model. When I put the switch on the door-off-on mode, the light does not come on when I open the door. On the side doors there is a rubber coated button. When the door is shut the button is depressed...

+ So anyone thought about retrofitting the newer axle into the older rigs?? Is this possible, then u could easily run a locker in most situations

roof rack?? Hey man, love your roof rack. I am looking for a full length roof rack for my 97. how did you attach it to your roof? almost looks like its sitting down directly on the roof. I have the factory rack, but it only takes up half the roof like it was made for a truck with a sunroof. I...

Does anyone know where the switch is located that controls the light that is supposed to come on when you open the rear hatch? I have a hunch that it might have a short, but I looked and looked and can't locate the switch. The light itself comes on when I flip the switch on the light, but not...

welcome, I am a 4runner newbe myself, just bought my 97 last week with 144K for 5K sr5 auto 4x4

To clarify With a standard 4wd system when you shift the transfer case (truck) into 4wd it splits the power 50/50 between the front and rear driveshafts going to the axles. Once the power gets to the axles, if you have an "open diff" setup, which most stock 4wd's are, the power within each...

Exactly what I was thinking. You really need a couple people standing on either side of the truck so you know what tires are turning when. Brings me to another curious thought. Is the yota rear axle a c-clip axle??
