Thanks for the tips. I have more v6 06+ to choose from then v8. This helps me narrow down my search. Also I'm in California and found a good looking v6 in another state. Would there be a problem with transferring at dmv?

for those that have driven both, does it really matter between the trans? found a nice 2004 v8 and another is a 2005 v8(less miles) for about 2.5k more.

Check out rtic. I think a 4-5qr is about $175. Exactly like a yeti but the sides are a bit thicker.

Last question, is the trans the same between v6 and v8? I've read that 2006+ v6 has the 5sp trans. Does that also apply to 2006+ v8? Basically if I get a v8 which year is better (engine wise.). I don't really care about exterior cause I like both old and new. And this is just for 4wd...

back when I was into modifying engines and stuff. I got a few bad ones. most of the stories I get are that in japan some don't take care of the engines as they should cause of the emission regulation. something about having to get a new engine/car(something like that) or pay a higher tax to keep...

getting ready to rebuild the motor. my boy is about 2.5 years old and won't get a hair cut. this is how they towed my Streetfighter S!! I forgot that insurance was going to tow it that day and had to rush to remove all the parts.

Wow. That looks like an oem part

Thanks for the replies. I only see one 4x4 in my area. Sucks not much to choose from. I want one really bad. Did you guys have major problems with the 4x4 system?

Hi all. I don't have a 4runner yet and been looking around and collecting info for my future purchase. im most likely going to get a 4th gen 4runner. now im totally new to trucks/off-road etc. do any of you wish you got a 4x4 instead of the 2wd? im new and probably wont be going...
