    Would you mod at 200K miles?

    Yep, you should definitely start modding it. Like others said, maintenance first the let the fun begin. I've done some heavy modifications to my cars in the past and finally gave up on them because they always gave me issues. If you treat a 3rd gen right, it will treat you even better for many...

    3rd Gen 4Runner Seat Belt Buckle Click When Driving

    Okay so this is a weird one.. When I'm driving around the seat belt buckle makes this little click when hitting bumps. I happens all of the time on the passenger side front seat belt buckle (when there is a passenger buckled in) and once in a while on the drivers side. When it starts to click...

    How much did you pay for your 3rd gen?

    I paid $7300 for my SR5 with 153,000 miles. Immaculate condition and one previous owner.

    3rd gen 4Runner most common rust spots?

    Really your best bet would be to get some rust preventative like POR-15. You'll want to scrape all of the flaky rust off, clean the area and then just paint over it. POR-15 can be applied directly to rust and will stop it from getting any worse. It's there and there's no way to reverse it so you...

    Upper Control Arm DIY? (Installing Total Chaos)

    Disregard this I guess. I found the best way to do it. I may make a DIY when I do the other side as long as I don't get too tired and grumpy :llama:

    Upper Control Arm DIY? (Installing Total Chaos)

    Hey guys, I searched around for a while but I could't find a DIY on installing upper control arms. Is there one out there that I'm missing? I got the Toytec Boss setup with Total Chaos upper control arms. I just want to do it the easiest way possible without making any more work for myself...

    SantaCruzRunner's Build #2

    Love your build man! I'm strongly thinking about an LED bar as well but I am a little turned off by the self tapper mounting method.. Is that what you did for your mounts? I'm trying to brainstorm a better way for going about it but it looks like welding or mounting it to a rack are the only...

    Rust rot on rear drum backing plate. Suggestions?

    :ohwell: That's a shame. Well maybe I can work out a sweet deal. We'll see. Thanks for the help.

    Rust rot on rear drum backing plate. Suggestions?

    I just went to look to look at a 4Runner today and overall the undercarriage is clean for being in the north east. Surface rust here and there.. The only troublesome area (maybe.. I've never dealt with drums) is the drivers side rear backing plate. As you can see in the photo below (sorry for...

    Easier acceleration without AC is it normal????

    Agreed. You can especially feel the difference with cars that have a turbo(s). I definitely felt it in my 335xi.
