Thanks for the feedback. There is another discussion going on about sport or limited and I think that one convinced me to hold out for a limited. The main reason for buying this vehicle is for long trips with the family, so comfort is the way to go. Plus I dont have lots of extra time/cash to...

Hi all, its been awhile since I posted but I'm always lurking here as I just love the site. Looking for a 4th gen, 04,05,06. I currently have a 98 limited that I bought with 128 on it, now has 150 still running super strong. My question is this - I see what looks to be a real nice 04 sport...

WTB: front skid plate/cover and oil pan cover for 3rd gen. Looking for the oem one that came on the sport runner for 01 and 02 - they are silver/metallic in color. I have a 98. Thanks in advance.

Gonzo - Its more likely that your drain tubes from the sunroof are clogged and its leaking down the roof pillar. This seems to be a real common problem, mine does it too. There are several threads on here about clearing the drain tubes, usually involving putting some type of a stiff line or...

Hey, sorry to hijack this for one quick question - I see you changed our your springs to OME 891 - what did that do for your ride? harder, smoother? just curious. Thanks.

Bump... One last shot to see if anyone has put in other toyota/lexus seats. Thanks in advance.

Bump...anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Oh man, those seats are really comfortable - like the ones in the sequioa. The question is do they bolt in or are mods necessary? I would do it with another seat I'm just worried about the safety factor if not using the original seat bolt holes.

Hey everyone - thanks again for making this a great forum. My question is, does anyone know if seats from other toyota vehicles from years that are close to mine will fit my 4r. I have 1998 limited with leather, but the seats are pretty toast. The padding is all worn out, the leather is really...

Sorry for the late reply back here. Thanks for all the info. Interestingly enough, I had the 4runner out for our first trial dirt run up in a local canyon here. We had good rain in the last few days so there was definitely some fun to be had, took my kids as this was the reason to get this in...

yeah, I'm looking at just the rears only right now. The fronts feel really good, stable, not mushy - I think they are in pretty good shape. I'm thinking possibly the bilsteins as thats what is in there now and I really like those shocks. Monroe, yes crap. Wore out after 1 year on my old sequoia...

Hey all, lovin the he11 out of this forum. :thumb3: my newly purchased 98 limited with 128k on it is feeling a little soft in the rear end. It does not appear the springs are sagging as the car sits very level but I can tell going over speed bumps and the like that its pretty soft. The...

Has anyone got experience removing the steering wheel cover? The reason I ask is I have a very annoying squeak from right inside the steering wheel. Only happens on hard bumps and off road but still annoying. I'm trying to figure out a way to resolve it, but I'm a little unsure with the SRS...

Yeah, I wondered about re-stuffing them again, I just was not exactly sure how they come apart. Did you guys just use foam padding found at a fabric store or home depot??. Also, how long did it take to add the foam in? 1/2 day of work? Sure seems like the cheapest and easiest idea for now...

Hey all, I'm thinking this should be a no brainer question, but you never know. The leather seats in my 98 limited are shot. The leather is in actual decent shape but the padding is toast - I feel like I'm sitting in a bowl! LOL tossing around ideas on the cheap as much as possible, wondering...
