I have a 2002 and have used auto parts warehouse for both a replacement front bumper inlay and the rear bumper covers (sides and center). My experience has been that quality is good and fit is good. The pieces I got seemed to have been made in Taiwan and are OEM quality.

I have Coverking covers that I got through Costco and I am happy with them. I will admit that the fitment isn't perfect and the quality is not 100 percent...but it is pretty close. I have had them for over a year now and they have grown on me quite a bit, I do not regret the purchase. No...

Caster is essentially an offset distance forward or backward from the vertical centerline of the wheel. Adjusting caster in front of this vertical axis will cause the wheel to be "pulled" (like a shopping cart) this is "positive caster"...whereas caster in back of this vertical axis will cause...

It doesn't ride rough at all...It actually rides quite nice. That's the second perch out of 5 settings...check the forums - second perch is fine. I've been doing some reading on caster and I'm not quite as concerned now as I was. The toe and the camber seem good and I can't say I've noticed a...

So I recently installed a lift in my 2002 (pics to come in a separate thread :) ). 2.5 inches in front with Tundra coils / bilstein 5100 adjustables (second perch from bottom)...3 inches in back with 95 LC shocks and OME890s. I just picked it up from the alignment shop today but foolishly did...

Looking good! Love that pic showing the grill mod. Very tasteful. What did you use to paint the chrome bumper inlay / rear bumper cover?

My '02 4Runner came with a K&N 57 series installed by the previous owner. I had spent so much time looking over other details of the car before I purchased it that I literally did not even notice it had a K&N until about a month later...even though I had poked around under the hood. Sometimes...

I was in your position not too long ago and I will second the above posted "Buyers Guide" thread. It answered almost all the questions and concerns I had with regards to buying a 3rd gen 4runner - well worth the read. Couple that with the lift thread and the maintenance thread and you'll be...

I picked up a third party primer-black bumper in 3 pieces (sides and middle step) and also a primer black front bumper inlay off ebay and am very pleased. I have purchased from Autos Depo and carpartswholesale. Can recommend both. Going to have to spray some bedliner on the insides though...

Suprareal, it's an automatic. I really like what you've done with your truck...nice and clean - hoping mine has a similar look once I'm through... As to the color - I originally wanted black, but this came along and I snatched it up and I have to say the color is growing on me :) I've seen...

Hello all! This is my first post on the forum but I have been lurking for a few months now because I finally picked up a 4runner! I have to say the wealth of info on this forum has really helped me out from the buying process right through to choosing a lift kit...so I have to say thanks to...
