Mall Crawler $8000 Paint job Off Roader $8000 Parts Job Take your pick JMO H20Camper

My thoughts are your exhaust was rubbing lightly somewhere. I believe when you put it in gear with the brake applied the slight torqing of the engine may have moved it just far enouph to clang against something. I don't see any way that what was described could be a transfer case. The listen to...

Just my personal opinion but I think the ARB plate front bumper looks a lot better than CBI Hybrid for a daily driver. I would however also add a CBI plate rear bumper with a Jerry can holder and tire carrier to round out the front to back off road look. If you want to steer clear of needing...

Just picked up this one in mint condition for $6000 For a about $3000 I can be sitting a lot better than the mall crawler and still be $3500 less.

To Silver, Cali. Jeremy, Jay, and 98! Being a New member to the forum I'd like to take the time to say Thank You to you fellas for the advice and comments you've offered. Its much appreciated and helped a lot with some decisions I've made on where to go with modding my 4 Runner a bit. I look...

Thanks for the info Ozarks! I've been looking at the ARB front bumper on line and was leaning heavy in that direction. After some inspection and measuring Ive found my 4 runner is already lifted 2 1/2". The Ride is pretty stiff so I'm suspecting its an OME springs and a shocks. I looked and...

Jeremy, I appreciate the heads up. My Runner is an 01 so it should be one of the lower models. I did notice it seemed to sit higher than ones I've seen around town and it got me to wondering. Thanks H20Camper

Some good advice Silver.....I'll be taking it by a mechanic friend of mine for a look over. I don't think it will need much. Its never missed a maintenance and was dealer maintained from brand new. Just over $13,000 in dealer receipts. 200,000 miles and I'd venture its got an easy 200,000 left...

Went up the mountain today for a hiking trip. This was my first trip into the mountains and so far these are my impressions. I tried the 4 wheel a bit with the center diff locked and I have to say it will for sure be getting an upgrade. I'll look into the factory Toyota rear diff lock or...

Don't have any good pics yet as I've only had it 2 days. Hopefully soon I can get some good outback camping pics and mod pics. H20 camper

Hello everyone, I've just acquired my first Toyota 4 Runner. Its a 2001 SR5 4 Wheel drive Dark Green 3.4 Auto. I'm excited to use my 4 Runner and its just in time for spring here on the Oregon Coast. For upgrades so far I put a set of 265-75-16 Open Country 6 plys. Next I'm interested in...
