Awesome. Thank you sir!

I have a '96 4Runner Limited and I want to swap the hood out for a sport hood that has the scoop. I know they only started offering the sport hood on '99 models but are the chances still good that a '99 sport hood would fit on my '96? They're the same generation obviously but I thought I check...

Thanks for that info, Charlie. Very helpful. I'll probably end up doing my rear end at some point in the future I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a prerequisite for running larger tires. I think i'm going to end up going with the 285/70R17 set up versus the 33x11.5R17. It's a hair...

So I'm looking at getting a new wheel and tire set up for my 3rd gen and I have a question for you guys. I'm currently running a 31x10.5R15 set up and I would like to go up to a 33x12.5R17 set up. My question is whether I can safely run that large a tire without have to re-gear my rear end...

Have another question for all you seasoned 3rd gen owners out there...I got my timing belt issue sorted by the way. I need to get some new rear coil spring insulators for my 4Runner and I'm having trouble finding some that say they fit a '96 which is what mine is. Whenever I search for them I...

Honestly, I'm not totally sure what brand it is. It came with in a full 100k mile service kit that I bought for about $500 that included water pump, idler pulleys, tensioner, thermostat, and all that. The water pump was supposed to be Toyota brand. I'm replacing it with an OEM genuine Toyota...

Premature ware on timing belt Hi all, looking for a little bit of guidance on something. My timing belt recently broke on my 3rd gen and upon tearing into it and removing the old belt I discovered the inside edge of the belt was severely worn and frayed but only on about 30% of the belts...

Hey guys, got a question: I'm looking at replacing the front bumper on my 3rd gen and I'm wondering about potential weight issues in the front end and if I need to upgrade my front suspension. The front is currently riding on some aftermarket Detroit Axel strut assys that gave me about and inch...

Well I found the control module...just not the one I was looking for. I managed to get in touch with the po who said that he had indeed taken out the factory alarm system because it was going off randomly and driving him crazy, a problem I've heard these systems are prone to. He said that he'd...

OK, that's good to know. I actually took my truck down to the shop last week put it on the lift and did a thorough going over of each body mount. To my surprise the only ones that looked like they could use replacing were the two in the very rear of the truck. The bushings on the rest of the...

I need help! For a while now I've been wanting to get a key fob working with my 3rd gen. When I bought the car it didn't work and I never thought to ask the owner what happened to it. Well I finally decided to get operational again but I ran into a problem. The ECU that controls the cars...

Hey guys, I need some advice. I'm pretty sure the body mount bushings, particularly the two rear ones, have worn out on my 3rd gen. I can hear them clank and rattle a bit when I go over bumps or go down a gravel road. There the only things that could be making the noise because I've gone over...

Well I actually found my problem about 20 minutes after I posted my question. One of the little wires in the new wiring harness that plugs into the projector was broken. Had to order a special wire pin connector to fix it but I'm pretty sure that's the problem. But yes, the high beam solenoid...

For those of you who have done the LED retrofits from TEQ, I have a question. I ordered the headlights and they came in last week looking awesome. I've been working on installing them this morning and everything was going fine and dandy until I tried to turn on the projectors and nothing...

Nice man! I'm getting close. 289,300.
