Thanks!

All, Just wanted to say I have enjoyed reading everyone's build thread's post ect, over the last 18 months, as much as I loved my 4Runner TE, the hight payment's were not liking my bank account. If anyone in or around KC, MO and want's a Trail it's at Jay Wolfe Toyota. Anyway here's a pic...

How many miles did you have on it? I love my Trail but the payment sucks so I've been looking off and on at used 4th gen's and new Taco's. Still good to know it's holding it's value well.

bubble buster! :) ok, so not all of Missouri but at least I may have KC to my self :)

I think what your are seeing is, TE's are not ordered by the regional managers for certain regions for normal inventory. They can be special ordered or you can go outside of the region to get it like I had to for mine. My dealer had to go to Indiana to get my TE for me. So far I haven't seen...

Maybe with spacers, but a full lift I think would require you to remove the XREAS system.

So I have been having buyer’s remorse off and on for the last few months, it starts with me reading post on the 4th gen’s. Things like they have led tail lights, project head lights, auto close tailgate’s etc. The consumer reports stuff that says’s how much better the last gen 4Runner was ect...

Never had a problem with the FM side, but sometimes the Sat Radio doesn't sync up when I'm pulling out of the garage I have to turn off the truck and start it back up to make it resync, and just powering off the radio and back on won't work. It's only happened a few times I say less then 4 since...

Just don't do something like this - Sorry couldn't resist :)

This was it, going home from work this morning I got about 19.5 mostly up-hill and had a head wind, coming to work tonight mostly down hill no real wind to speak off I get 23.7 mpg

I bet it's you resetting your computer that's the diff since I don't reset mine until I fill up. I'll play around with that and see what my results are. :) Edit: Now that I think about it when I do monitor the Consumption Info in the NAV when I am on the hwy it's sitting midway between the 20...

Mike I wish I could get that kind of milage, out of mine. It's mostly stock, with only the stubby antenna mod, and E-Rated BFG AT KO's (stock size) and the best I can avg is about 17.5mpg (hand calc and computer are with in .1 always), I got 19 on my last tank but, this tank back down to mid...

I always have loved the way a 1st gen looks, by far my favorite looking 4runner.

This picture is from the driver side looking just under the front bumper, see the big sway bar, and the cylinder attached to it? That’s KDSS.

Congrats and welcome to the TE club :) Edit: I was bored and just playing around, guessing you would fly out from Pheonix to Baltimore, the flight would be about $500, and guessing you would avg 20mpg, with a avg cost of $3.65 per gallon @2200 miles about $400 for gass, and that it would take...
