Those look like the stock rims, what did you do to black them out? Any chance of a close up of them?

Some killer looking 4R's in this thread. Jekyllmay, your ride is absolutely insane. What kind of rims are those? Did they come black, or are they powder coated?

I'm pretty new to the "mod" world for trucks, so maybe some people can point me in the right direction. my 2000 4r's ride has been a bit...ok, way too stiff over the last year or so and after discovering this forum, I've been interested in researching a lift for it in the future. I don't...

I wish, but Bambi hobbled off until the next deer dive. I wonder if he gains any street cred having pulled off a stunt like that. Or a "I took on a 4 runner and lived" T shirt from his peers.

Is it safe to assume that most body parts within the 3rd gen family are interchangeable? I have a 2000 4r and wondering if 1999 running boards will fit properly.

Thanks for the replies all. As per most of your advice, I am going to look around for a new quarter panel, have a buddy who's father does body work paint it and I'll be installing it myself.

I had some body work done and without realizing it, they put a running board on with flare....my truck doesn't have flare! Not having noticed when I [poorly] inspected the work, there is no way for me to prove that it's their's to replace. So, I am looking for one of the following... Trade a...

The other day I was driving and a deer leeped into the side of my 4 runner, denting up the front left quarter panel pretty good. I didn't even see him until the last second, when he was mid air. I gave him an 8 on form, but he lost points on not sticking the landing. I attached a pic and...

Woah, that valve is pretty sweet. May have to pick one of those up as well.

Rolling up on 115k here on the orig belt. Figure I'll look into changing it around 120...if I've gathered enough info and more importantly, gathered the gumption to tackle the project myself.

Where are you all taking your old oil to be disposed of?

The way I drive, I chew through pads/rotors. Actually went to change my fronts today [frist time] and my lock key stripped a bit so am waiting for a replacement. When should one look into replacing the rear shoes? Unfortunately I have drums in the rear [2000 sr5] and the way people react...

2000 XM install, A write up I did for a XM install. Might help someone out. Clicky here

Thanks to Jerold, I have an antennae on the way for $25 beans. Currently my ant goes up, but not down and I have been told I need the entire assembly. I have XM, but it has always bugged me that the ant was borked.

I'm in the same boat. My rear nozzle has always just...lazily streamed fluid down the window instead of spraying it. Anyone have any ideas?
