Looks like you have the millenium silver body color with the limited thunder cloud body clading...very unusal color combomination....

you must not have the tow hitch on the truck, that hitch has saved my rear end a few times when getting hit from behind....the other guys get the car/truck smashed and I drive away with maybe a scratch or two but no real damage to the bumper because the hitch takes the brunt of the hit....

What you have is the pre-face lift '98 and you want to replace it with the face-lifted '99 (the years for pre-face lift are '96-'98 and the facelift years are '99-02) you will need the wiring harness and the blue box from your truck transfered into the the new tailgail of the '99....if it works...

so what fuse did you check and where located under dash or under the hood?

You don't have to remove the inside door panel to remove the 4runner mirrors....just the tweeter cover is removed, then disconnect the mirror plug there, and the three bolts that hold the mirror on.

Yeah get the kind that attaches to the tow-hitch...you do have a tow-hitch on the runner right? You'll have to be kinda real tall or use a step ladder to put the bike on the roof of the runner....check these out toe hitch bike rack | eBay

All 4X4 Limited and Sports came with 16's, the NON 4X4 Limited, Sports, SR5 and base models came with 15's and could be upgraded to 16's, until 2002 when all T4Rs came with 16's

It is a 2001 Sport, it doesn't have the "SE" badge on the door but it does have the bumpers same as the body color and it has the hood scoop, it also has the silver dash/door panels. I'm like you 2002tii why was the engine replaced if it was "very well maintained"? Also why remove the door...

I think you are talking about "r34sklnnsn" his T4R is the one that has the dealer installed fog lights in the front bumper of his '98...."RJLeagles2010" has a '00 w/oem projector fog lights in his bumper also but he has a custom built bumper and his is not a '98.....

Try this from ebay....(you will still need the inserts and bolts/screen etc etc etc, these are a dealership only items.) and you will also need to paint it green to match your truck, but way cheaper for this hood than the dealership..... Toyota 4Runner 99 02 Hood with Hood Scoop | eBay

Try these...and you'd only have to find/fab one piece of straight metal (since the hole in the bumper is at an angle) to attach them...and they are narrow so you don't have to cut the plastic from the valance.... Pilot NV 515W Navigator Driving Light Set Rectangular Simulated HID | eBay I have...

If you still have the old hood w/insulator, recheck the fitment, because I also did a hood swap and it fit just fine....you may check the the holes for the plastic tabs and you might have to drill an extra hole or two but the insulator should fit the new hood w/scoop I have a '01 non limited...

what you are calling a heat sheild is actually a duel device, it does work as a heat sheild but it was also designed as a fire suppression blanket. The plastic tabs are supposed to melt and the blanket will then drop to cover the motor, and I believe that is/was a dealership only item...(I could...
