Thanks for the help Charlie. I'm running 285/75/16 (33") Firestone M/T 2s. No wheel spacers.

Hello everyone. I currently have an Old Man Emu 3 inch lift on my 1999 4Runner. I'm considering doing a 1"-2" body lift to reduce tire rubbing when off roading. For those who have done this type of lift, were there any additional things you had to do like extending your steering linkage...

Well, it's been a while but I decided to go with Victory Evolution Series roof rack and I've been very happy with it over the past few months. I've had it loaded up with well over 250lbs of gear on multiple trips and it handled it just fine. As for the build, I had to cut holes for EACH of...

Thanks for all the help and considerations. I was considering the extended CV axles and for the price/warranty, they might be worth it. I barely put any miles on this 4Runner anymore so I'm somewhat caught between two tuff choices: 1 - Keep the original 26 year old CVs, replace the boots and...

Has anyone out there RECENTLY replaced their CV axles on their 3rd gen 4Runner and if so, what brand did you go with? I was under my '99 4Runner the other day and saw the passenger side outside CV boot is completely torn and separated from where it is connected to the axle. My 4Runner is...

Thank you very much for all the information on the ARB and e-locker. I think I'm going to stay away from the ARB simply because of the complexity and higher number of failure points. The onboard compressor is a great idea, but I can also just carry a small tank with me and do the same thing...

Well, it's been a VERY long time since I've been on this forum but I'm certainly glad it is still going. As I'm getting back into off roading, I have a few questions after years of being away. I'm in the process of outfitting my 1999 4Runner Limited 4x4 for overlanding. I already have a Warren...

Hello everyone. I have a 1999 Limited 4WD. I installed a radio and one of the features is a rear backup camera. I have everything wired except for the rear camera 'auto turn-on' feature. I can turn the camera on from the radio but I want it to come on when I put my 4Runner in reverse. Do...

thanks for the help. Now I need to figure out how to actually use my DMM besides just checking battery voltage and resistance. My 4Runner is not my primary vehicle and when I opened the hood a few days ago, I found a nest up against the passenger firewall. I'm wondering if something to in...

Well, this is interesting. My windshield wipers stopped working. The sprayers work, the rear windshield wiper works but not the front. On the interior kick panel fuse box and checked the fuse and it was fine. I pulled the 20amp fuse for the windshield wipers and swapped it with a known...

I know the neutral safety switch was the issue with my 4Runner and 4 years after I replaced it, i've not experienced the issue.

I've posted something around this years ago and wanted to see if anyone else has run into this problem. I have a 1999 Limited 4x4 4Runner and I've had this problem for years. When I'm driving at normal speeds and slow down to a stop at a red light or whatever, my 4Runner will idle around...

Bonus, it's hard to say. When i was experiencing the problem, i heard absolutely nothing when i turned the key. The radio came on, clock came on etc. but no clicking of the starter, nothing. It was somewhat intermittent but when it didn't work, I was completely stranded. However, when the...

Yes, you are correct. My mistake on the 3.2 instead of 3.4. I guess I got my wife's old Acura 3.2 TL mixed up. Anyway, it turned out the be the neutral safety switch located on the transmission housing itself that was the issue. I had never even heard of this thing but fortunately I found...

My 1999 3.2L 4Runner will not start. when i turn the ignition key, i dont even hear a click on the starter. The lights are all on on my dash board and they dont dim when i try to start the car. I hooked up my wife's car to mine through the jumper cables and tried again to start my 4Runner. No...
