Welcome from another CO newbie, nice to see Scotty's work since I'm a bif fan of his stuff.

Mine's new to me with 115k and just relaced the timing belt, front brakes and had the tranny flushed. still need a battery, ps flush, pcv valve & plugs.

Buy one and report back, I'll wager you're back to Toyota long before reaching 100k. [/hijack]

POR-15 is a good product, I used it on my '41 Plymouth years ago with very good results and suggest look check it out. Those of us not in the rust belt cringe at the sight of this kind of rust but some time and effort can take care of it. Short bristle wire brushes on a drill will clean it up...

Hey Spencer, I have friends with Disco's and they're great trucks but do tend to be high maintenance as you're seeing. Generally owners have to be good with a wrench to keep it running smoothly and dependable. I've only owned Toyotas since my first in the '70's because of the reliability. I...

Pretty good explanation G.I.G. - I'm new to 4Runner's myself having just replaced my FJ62 with an '05 Limited. This also makes me new to IFS and since I do a lot of off-road stuff in Colorado I'm just a rookie again. I have heard differing opinions of my set-up which appears to be just OME...

1. It sounds like it was well maintained so high miles isn't an issue. I just bought an '05 with 115k 2. Price is negotiable, I paid 16 for my Limited, V8, all the bells & whistles.

Sent you a PM

Thanks Chaz, looks like I have some reading to do...

I have no idea, any source of this info?

I took a quick look and haven't come to a conclusion on the rear. The 884 is recommended by ARB though apparently some people suggest 885's for v8's. I can only say the ride is very nice and not being familiar with 4th gens I guess this is one reason I liked this particular one.

Bingo A10MileHusker! Good eye! The front are OME884's, the rear aren't tagged but are much larger diameter and fewer wraps, looks like 8. I'll do some checking but guess the rears are also OME. A quick check of retailers should show me what they pair the 884's with.

Thanks again, lots of good info and things for me to check. Unfortunately today's been a real long day and I haven't had a chance to look yet.

How about the measurements? Can anyone tell me what they are on an '05 off the showroom floor?
