Thx for the help......

So my 98 4runner rims where looking very very bad...so I took the time to prep them for paint (2 hours a rim). So I primed with etching primer then filler primer and then painted and they turned out great. However I'm reluctant to clear coat them as I don't want them to be overly shinny. What do...

No the window is ok, my understanding is it needs a new regulator and some other parts associated to the window tracks (Bearing's or ball's) and the clip's that attach to the window. When I have the time I will investigate. It's really hard to find used parts up here in Canada, in the US you...

My rear window fell on the right side over the weekend. Brought it into a local Toyota dealer, I know a fella there very well, going to cost upwards of $600 dollars to repair. We managed to get it closed, closed is where it will remain. SUCKS big time as I love that rear window! RIP rear...

I just hit 408K and Rad was original on my 98 4runner. Just had clutch, rad, water pump, timing belt and a few other small things repaired/replaced. Run's like new. Love my 4runner.

Hello all, I searched the forum for information on the rear door lock or trunk lock and couldn't really find what I was looking for. I have a 98 4runner and the rear door or trunk door does not open or close regularly with out issues. Upon trying to open it, the handle goes flat and will not...

I would try getting a new key cut at the dealer..you'll need your VIN#. I had issues with some locks and the ignition....had a new key cut...and everything worked again. I tried having one cut at a local HW store and it was crap.

You guys are so lucky you live in the US as having stuffed shipped to Canada is a complete nightmare. I heard someone bought front mud flaps for $40 something dollars from their Local dealer in the US. I just called my local dealer and they are $60.00 EACH. Does that not seem excessive?

Love the tires and black rims. I am in the middle of painting my rims the same colour. Good Job and nice truck.

I have a 99898 5spd with 402KM's on it. Still seems to be going strong.

Ha ha I guess that myth is busted. Thx guys appreciate it, we'll get it done.

Hello All, I recently posted a question on amount of KM/Mileage people have on their 4runners, the result is I am keeping my truck going at 402,000 KM's. I was at my mechanics today and there are a few minor repairs required. They are getting done. Another question I had is, I did my timing...

Thanx to everyone for responding. You folks have confirmed in my head what I have been thinking. I do have a trusty mechanic that has been doing work on my runner for years now at a very fair price. I turst him. So I'll keep the baby rolling. Thank you

Hello All, I am new to the board. I have a 1998 Toyota 4runner with 402K on it. Todate she has been a really good truck. I love my 4runner and can't imagine the thought of not having it or driving it. My question to all you experienced 4runner owners is, do I put money into my 4runner or move...
