I was exactly where you are now a few weeks ago. I have a 2007 V8 Limited and I needed to replace the xreas and wanted to swap out my rear air suspension for coils. My main concern was I wanted a comfortable ride since this is a DD and didn't want a lift. I researched this forum to death and...

Hi everyone, haven't been around much but I have been reading regularly. I just traded my '03 V8 Sport for a 2007 V8 Limited. It's black, has only 33,500km (about 21,500mi) and I picked it up for $26k. I sold my truck privately, it had about 169,000km and still got $10k for it. There's a...

Jean, I was told that the sport model requires a 17" rim because of the bigger brakes. I don't think the 16" will fit. Keep us posted!

Does anyone know where I could find 17" steel rims for my '03 sport. Any rim would be fine, I'm just trying to spare my mags the harsh winters we have in Canada.

Vin, I just got my truck back from the dealer today. I went for my first oil change and had them check out my seat and the moonroof rattle at the same time. They kept the truck 24 hrs. to take apart the roof and fix the rattle. I can now say it is fine. For how long?? Who knows...

30% here also. They told me "more" would be looking for trouble with the law in my area. I like the result but there is a difference with the front. Forerunner

Jake, I had a '96 myself for over 6 years and loved it. I got this new one about a month and a half ago and really don't miss my old truck. So much improvement! Much more refined as a truck, quieter, more spacious, and don't get me started on the V8 power. Just the sound is enough for...

Jharris2, Of the 5 wires, don't plug the green one. I plugged in my controller recently and it works fine. All controllers come with wiring instructions and you'll see that the 5th wire is not necessary. Hope this helps

Has anyone plugged in a brake controller in their 2003 4runners. The new hitch comes pre-wired with a harness(in glove compartment) ready to be plugged in under the driver's side and able to recieve a brake controller. The problem is most brake controllers have 4 wires and the toyota wiring...

Hey Baumer, I was going to do the same and wait for the appearance package to arrive but decided instead to go ahead and buy a Sport V8 with the cladding. Now that I've had it for a few days, I appreciate the cladding much more. I've also noticed that if you look at the side of the...

Got it this morning. UNFREAKIN-BELIEVABLE!!!!! God I love this truck. All I'm tryin to do is find places to go so that I can drive it. I can't get over the refinement. Love the "just turn and release" ignition and the sound of the V8 coming alive. After every drive, I get this strange...

My heart goes out to you guys. I know the feeling. Six months after I had purchased my '96 we had the head gasket recall sent to us. I remember being so disappointed and wanting to trade in. I promised myself to never purchase a 1st year model again. But there's always a bright side...

I've been viewing this board since last fall and have sworn by your every comment and review about the new 4Runner. You guys had me salivating every time a new truck was purchased by a board member. Well now it's my turn to brag. I just sold my 96 SR-5 runner and purchased a '03 V8 Sport -...

jhaspel, Thai has a good suggestion with the block heater and adding a remote starter is also a good idea. I live north of you and -30 weather is common for us in winter. There's no better feeling than pushing a button to start the truck while staying inside. Since we also get hot...

Thai, Yes it is a Toyota deflector but I did purchase it back in 1996 with my 4runner(installed by the dealer before delivery). There may have been changes to the deflector that I am not aware of. I also remember mentioning my problem with the deflector on another board and getting back...
