That's kind of what I'm starting to think. I love my 4Runner. Growing up, I always wanted a 3rd gen. So when I was able to, I bought one and have been steadily fixing it up. I let my son drive it when he got his license, but he just upgraded to a newer Tacoma. So now the 4Runner sits unused...

I know in general, used truck prices are nuts right now. I haven't kept up with 3rd gen pricing in my area, but some things are changing in my house and I'm starting to wonder what my 3rd gen is worth. So how are 3rd gen values going where you are?

Recently completed the upgrade. Nice difference - time well spent. Thought I would share a warning to others who may run into what I ran into today. I used OEM rotors and pads but NAPA calipers. $55.00 core on each caliper. When I went to return the cores today, they opened the boxes, pulled...

Awesome! Thank you very, very much for taking the time to reply. It really is appreciated. I think I'll order the 906's and move on.

Thank you for your response. And you kept the stock sized shocks? I keep seeing conflicting information as to whether or not longer shocks are required.

I read that thread. His situation is different from mine as I will be replacing the springs. I swear I have searched for the answer to my question but I just can't find it. That is the only reason I started the thread.

And in each one of those threads, the shocks are replaced as well. I've read them. And I've read many like them. I didn't want to start this thread, but I did because I am not finding the answers that I'm looking for.

Not lifted. KYB shocks. Gasadjust if I remember correctly. Might be Monomax but I don't think they are.

I realize the rear spring topic has been beat to death but I've been looking for an answer to my question for hours and I can't find it. Hoping someone could answer it for me quick. I need to replace my rear springs as the rear end sags. Here is where it gets complicated: my rear shocks are...

Thank you very much. :cheers:

Please forgive me if this has been covered but I've been searching for hours without a straight answer. Can anyone tell me if these 5th gen wheels will fit with a TBU? They are 17" and can be had cheap. Not my pic. ]

FINALLY got around to putting some time and money into mine. New battery (sat so long unused the old one died) New ARB front bumper and winch New OE upper balls joints, lower ball joints and lower control arm bushings Alignment OE water pump, timing kit, thermostat and radiator Some LED...

It may be that I took on another project that I don't have time or money for. Starting to wonder. Working two jobs provides income to take on additional projects that I don't have time for, because I work two jobs. But then I take on too many projects. It's a stupid, vicious cycle that I just...

Working 2 jobs 7 days a week leaves me with almost zero time to tackle any of this myself. I work in the automotive industry and have several hookups with professional shops. I have the best of the best quote me $700 to do the upper and lower ball joints and an alignment if I supply the OE...

That's a good way to look it. Once upon a time I had a Dodge 2500 diesel that between repairs and maintenance cost me $1 per MILE to drive, not counting purchase price, insurance, registration or fuel! Every time I got in that truck SOMETHING broke. :flame:
