Is it the volume or quality of the sound you dislike? How does it compare to stock?

That might be a little like saying "Rolls Royce, Isuzu and Kia are decent..." Borla really isn't in the same ballpark I don't think, in terms of quality, cost and probably sound. Have you priced them? Is cost an issue? CR

Muffler and tail pipe Going through this right now. Bad flanges between muffler and tail pipe. Sounds like the Walker is made as poorly as all the other shit out there since a part will only be as good as it's weakest link (which in this case will be what sound like thin, mild steel flanges)...

License plate screws corroded, broken off What a PITA! Just finished dealing with this today. First, I tried an 'EASY OUT'. Didn't work. If you have a broken off screw, some lessons I learned the hard way regarding 'EASY OUTS': 1. 'Easy outs' aren't so easy. I have never had much success with...

Oil Pump, too? Why not replace the oil pump with that much mileage on it? Can that be done easily while doing the timing belt, or does the pan have to drop? fastcar

New 4Runner Congrats. My wife and I LOVE our new 4Runner, you will too. fastcar

The Light Truck tires, I believe, are tougher, heavier tires. If I did rock crawling I would consider the LT's. Not sure why they wouldn't get a warranty, other than possibly the target market might be more abusive? Just a guess… fastcar

Firestone Destination Firestone Destination are the same tires I will be using on my Gen 3. I will go up slightly to 265/75R 16s, which will be a 32 inch tire. The reviews are very good, the tire is very good looking (aggressive) but according to many reports not terribly noisy on the highway...

Performance with 33's Geila, Your 4Runner looks bad ass. Love those wheels and tires! Question: You put 33's on your 4Runner. That's a much, much taller tire than the factory 31's. Did you notice any effect on off line acceleration? Ability to maintain highway speed against grade? Ability...

Hi Gang, I finally found her. A V6, 4x4, 5-spoke SR5 in white from VA, with a super clean body and undercarriage (no rust). She's in Newport News with my brother, right now. I'm in Boston. Won't be able to pick her up until the end of January. I'm really excited about this. My first Toyota...

Incredible Wow, just amazing work. Wish the photos included the rest of the job! Looks really bad ass. fastcar

I test drove a 2002 SR5 4WD today, and was surprised to find 15 inch wheels on it. I thought they were suppose to be 16s. fastcar

Friends, Is there a chart somewhere that tells factory 4Runner wheel width, Diameter, Offset and Bolt circle on this site? I was unable to find one after looking around. I'm wondering how the 97-99 and 00-02 wheels compare, in particular. I understand they are both 16 inch, but are they the...

I like the looks of the gen 3 best. I'd love to have white with a tan leather interior. Thanks for the answer and all the great advice, guys. fastcar

Thanks for that. Sorry I put the question in the wrong place. fastcar
