Hey guys, I recently went to Les Schwab to get my 4Runner checked out because I felt some shaking when I brake. I assumed it was warped rotors, and they said it was a rear axle seal that needed replaced. Any stories or tips on getting yours fixed? I go to a University where they don't allow...

Alright guys, so after a week of thinking about buying this beautiful 1999 Limited 4Runner 4WD, my wife and I finally drove down to Portland, OR to check it out.

The dents left from that grille guard or whatever it was, is the only thing making me hesitant. Yeah, silly I know. I know it's a great deal though. Plus I have work in 2 hours and class in the morning!

Yeah man for sure. And if you ever have a desert dune hood land in your lap, let me know!! haha. My hood is really beat up as you can see from the pictures.

HAHA!! I was hoping someone would notice that. I got it for my friends birthday and he just put it on my mirror. The girl who sold em to me said they were off a 4runner. MB Motoring is the brand. This style of wheels are discontinued tho.
