Thanks for the comments - sounds like it is a go. Now to narrow down the products.

Anybody wax their wheels? I am getting ready to detail the Runner and was thinking about it. I have the 18" Limited wheels and want them to look as good as when I bought it. Thinking about ICE or Black Magic Titanium Wheel Polish. I looked on Griots and Mothers but did not see anything in...

I know I need to - probably call the guy in a few weeks.

I finally got my T4R - 2006 Limited Shadow Mica. I wanted to see how many of you have the clear bra. I was quoted $500 for the hood, grille, fenders, bumper and mirrors. I am sure I can find a better use for $500. I usually do a great job of keeping my trucks clean - just wanted to get some...

Great post, I need to find a place to mount mine. I always have an oh $hit box in the back also.

I am glad to hear that the V-6 has enough get up and go. I am going to check this 4R out this weekend. Considering I am going from a Tahoe Z71 with 125k miles to a 4R with 80k, she will be brand new to me.

I have taken your advice and kept looking around. The low mileage 4Runners are still a little pricey in my neck of the woods. $25k on up. So I found a 4Runner. 80k miles, V-6, NAV Limited for $19,900. It isn't CPO but one owner from a Toyota dealer. Does this price seem better? The sales...

Looks like I have two options - negotiate the heck out of the 4Runner at the Mazda dealer and forgo the 100k warranty - or - Keep looking for one at the Toyota dealer. There is a toyota dealer that has several 4runner Limited but the car fax comes up with Fleet Use. Found this at a Toyota dlr...

So I checked the carfax and it was serviced at 30,955 - Oil and filter changed chassis lubricated. Another poster mentioned that this should be a big service. LUckily all service was done at a Toyota dealer.

Thanks for the tip. Does the JBL system sound ok? I don't blast my music but I do like it clear. Will a cargo liner work back there?

Thanks for the heads up about the 30k service. I have seen the carfax and it is a one owner not from a fleet. For some reason I have seen many a fleet 4runner showing up.

So I finally found a Limited, V8 4Runner with Nav. It is a 2006 with 37k miles for $25,8xx. I wanted to get your input on buying it from a dealer other than a Toyota dealership. Luckily it isn't a fly by night but a Mazda dealer. Also, do I need to be aware of anything with a V8 AWD 4runner...

Anybody on the board have experience with the 3M clear bra? I am looking at 06 Limited and want some protection against the occasional rock chip.

I really like the 2006 4runner Sport. I want nav and the dvd entertainment pkg. I have looked and it seems theonly way to get it is with a V8. Is that true? And if so how do you all like the V8 Thanks

Looking into my next SUV. Currently have a 1999 Tahoe. I don't feel like I need all the space anymore. Anybody out there have any rants or raves about their 4Runner?
