    Breathable Seat Covers for Softex in the Summer?

    It's hot in the South, my 4Runner has the black Softex "leather", and I'm not too thrilled with showing up everywhere with a sweaty back. Does anybody have recommendations for breathable seat covers for the Summer months, costing somewhere between "breaking the bank custom" and "loose fitting...

    Anybody ever swap 3.4 to 2.7? (serious question)

    So I got around to cleaning my MAFS this weekend and I have to say...my truck runs incredibly well! I was honestly a little reluctant because there was no way it could be something that simple...so I had been mentally preparing to chase vacuum lines, buy new coil packs and plugs and...hey...

    Anybody ever swap 3.4 to 2.7? (serious question)

    The timing chain is definitely a bonus but if that's all it offers, then yeah I'll take your advice and stay away. That's actually a good call - hadn't even thought about that. I installed a new OEM fuel filter a few months ago and throttle under load improved...but that's definitely an easy...

    Anybody ever swap 3.4 to 2.7? (serious question)

    My daily-driver Runner has 225k and has started to sputter and hesitate under load. It could use some new plugs, coils, and probably fuel injectors and I'm sure it'll be fine. But that got me wondering - when something catastrophic goes with the engine, I've considered replacing it with the...

    Projectors: TRS or DDM?

    So here's an update: My whole DDM HID retrofit kit actually showed up the Wednesday before Thanksgiving...only six days after ordering...so despite all the reviews reporting 3-week wait times, this was a nice surprise. I (finally) got around to opening the packages and testing the stuff out...

    Projectors: TRS or DDM?

    Well I went against the grain and went for the DDM Tuning setup. I called them on the phone to make sure I was getting set up correctly and they were pretty helpful. If, when I receive the goods in the mail, I'm feeling uneasy about anything, I'll ship it all back and order the TRS stuff...

    Projectors: TRS or DDM?

    I've done lots of mechanical work to cars and trucks over the last 15 years but this is my first foray into lighting. I've decided to do a bi-xenon retrofit (already ordered the TYC lights for the glass lenses), and I've seen a lot of info and praises about the Morimoto D2S projectors from the...

    Need quick advice about buying a 98 MT w/e-locker

    From the outside looking in...that's what I thought. Just making sure I'm not passing on the holy grail of 4Runners that's worth $20k in any condition :thumb:

    Need quick advice about buying a 98 MT w/e-locker

    I've been a long-time lurker here and finally decided to buy a 3rd Gen, but I need some advice to whether this particular one is too shady or I should buy anyway: It's a 1998 4Runner with manual trans, 4WD, and e-locker. It also has nearly new 31" tires on aftermarket wheels (similar to those...
