The 98+ have upgraded amenities. 99+ have best looking (imo) headlights and the optional sport models with the hood scoop. But that's slight upgrades and all looks, so if you don't need/want those things it makes no difference then. Go for the 3.4L V6 instead of the 22RE. The 3.4 has been...

Hello fellow 3rd geners! I've made a blog type thread on the General forum, as I didn't want it to be exclusive to the 3rd gen forum only. It's a welcome/chronicle-type blog/build thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/general-discussions/110062-noris-floras-adventures.html Thanks for looking!

Hi guys. I've been a lurker for several years and feel that's it's finally time to post about our adventures! :) This isn't a build thread, but more of a chronicle-type blog, which will definitely include some "building" later on :) DECEMBER 2010 - FEBRUARY 2011 Flora's adoption began with a...

Hey guys. I got a Toytec ultimate lift in the mail for my 2000 4unner. I have no interest nor the time to install it myself right now. Any recommendations on what shop to go to in the Valley for a professional install? I live in Peoria. Thanks.

Flagstaff trip this weekend: Hi guys. I'm from the Phoenix valley, but this weekend I will be spending in Flagstaff. I helped out my employer by agreeing to cover emergency weekend overnight shifts in Flagstaff. I will be working Fri-Sun 9pm - 8am overnight shifts. That means my early mornings...

update: I asked the seller about 4wd and he said he pretty much never used it. This kinda worries me as the owner's manual says 4wd needs to be engaged each month for about 10 miles to lubricate the axles. Is it a problem if he only used 2wd???? Thanks!

I'm looking for a 2nd 4runner. We already have a 99 sr5 4wd auto. I recently asked for advice on a dealer ad for a 99 sr5, which had a restored title, but everyone steered me away from it. I didn't even test drive it. I want a 3rd gen 5-speed, preferably the 99-02 models. I saw a new ad posted...

Due to the overwhelming response, I may not even test drive it then. 5 speeds are hard to find, frustrating.

The price jacked up for sure! I realize that. I just called the AZ DMV and my insurance agent (I'm new to AZ) and they both said that a "Restored" title doesn't really affect the resale value. From what both the DMV and my agent said, looks like here in AZ, restored titles mainly originate...

Hey guys. We already own a 1999 sr5 4wd auto :), but my fiancee's civic is dying. I'm thinking about letting her drive our 99 sr5 auto and getting this 5-speed for myself. 1999 Toyota 4runner 4x4 It's listed now for $10k and the dealer said it's a restored title (was stolen) and they replaced...

Thanks. Used about 35 for the trip. We are safely in Phoenix!

Hi, Fiancee and I are moving cross country from Chicago to Phoenix. :driving: Our 99 4Runner will be full. Some of the heavy items include two televisions, books, and home theater speakers. What tire pressure should I use for this extra weight? The tire size is 265/70/16. Thanks so much.

Hello t4r.org! My fiancee and I recently acquired a 99 SR5 and the front brakes are pretty shotty. An auto repair shop estimated ~$700 for the complete front job which includes: -rotors -calipers -pads From researching past posts I've learned that the front rotors are prone to warping. The...
