I have the 4runner and I love it. Its getting inspected tomorrow and a new bumper from certifit will be installed early next week. There is a small ~1" tear in the drivers seat leather. Any ideas for repair? I really just want to prevent it from worsening.

Thanks. How about highlander style bumpers? If I found a black pair would they bolt right up? How would it work with the limited style fender flares?

Haha thanks guys. I think there may be a couple rust spots on the rear bumper in the one picture, or perhaps just a reflection. Has anyone seen a Limited in this color with the gray, base-style bumpers? I'm thinking the bumpers might match the trim and look awesome.

Mechanic suggested that I take a look at some undercoatings/zinc-enriched paints. Right now the rust is not structurally threatening but I want to nip it in the ass before it is.

After joining this site nearly 2 years ago to begin research, I have finally bought a 4runner. 1997 Limited with only 78k for $6600. I put a deposit on the car unseen after getting a 3rd party inspection today, and I will be making the drive from Baltimore to NY tomo am to pick it up. The...

Does anyone know the trd superchargers effect on longterm reliability? There is a supercharged 4runner in my area with 130k on it. I would like to get 250k out of it like most of you are getting on your stock runners. Do you think thats possible?

Reviving this thread because I still havent bought a t4r. The black one in perfect condition was sold before I had a chance at it, but the green one with the bad transmission is still available. I'm just hesitant to purchase a vehicle that a major component failed on with such low mileage. What...

Heres an example: Hello, First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I sell at this price($3,200) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. When the divorce has finished i own this car. Now as a women i don't need. This car is in excellent working conditions, no...

The guy will email you back today with an email starting with "sorry for the delayed response." He will then say the car is in another state, and that the transaction will be completed through ebay.

100% bullshit. I've contacted people who say "dont contact me through this website" and every single time its a scam.

I am located in Baltimore, MD. Both trucks are located in DC. Here is the descriptions for both: $3500 99 TOYOTA 4 RUNNER 92K MILES SR5 4X4 AUTO ALL POWER SUNROOF V6 NEW TIRES TRUCK RUNS REALLY GOOD THE BAD NEWS IS THE TRANSMITION IS SLIPPING NEEDS TO BE FIXED, SERIOUS BUYERS NO TIRE KICKERS...

Interior is tan. There is also another 99 highlander available near me with only 92k and only $3500. But it needs a new transmission. Anyone had to have their tranny rebuilt/replaced? Price? Do you think that 4runner had to be abused to blow a tranny with such low mileage?

So after a year of searching and almost purchasing I'm ready to try to pull the trigger on a 4runner. I just found a 99 black highlander edt. with 138k. Asking $5900. I know you will all probably tell me that its "just getting broken in" but I was really looking for something with closer to...

I'm in the Baltimore Area. Do you know how much of that $1200 was labor and how much was the actual transmission. Do you know if the trannys are identical between years?

So the 4runner I went to look at in Jersey a few days ago ended up being a rust bucket. But I found a 1999 with the Highlander Package and 92k miles for $3500. It does need a transmission though. My question is are the transmissions for all 3.4 4x4 3rd gens the same? I have been looking on ebay...
