Gotta get rid of my 4Runner :-( Please see my craigslist ad below for images and details. 2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive sale

Will OME 881s on the 2nd perch of Tundra 5100s support say a CBI or Shockworks plate bumper? The rear are 890s. Im afraid of the front end sagging too much...

Im in for a group buy being that im semi-local!

Everything looks to be seated correctly. And i agree, if i had the springs backwards i would expect the passenger side to be higher.

if i installed them wrong would this be the culprit?

I noticed lately that it just doesnt seem like the rear of my 4runner is level. I have tundra 5100s in the rear with OME 890s. I measured 24" from hub on the rear left and only 23.5" on the right rear. The front appears pretty level with tundra 5100s and 881s(i think) on the 2nd perch both at...

It was indeed the side with the broken endlink. I should have double checked after i fixed the endlink.

This might be a stupid question so forgive me... I took my front wheels off becuase i have some mud caked up in them that is causing some serious shakes. Discovered i broke a sway bar endlink as well on my last off road excursion. Anyway i noticed that if i spin the axles, the front driver...

Just received my bonus at work, and since it is now burning a hole in my bank account I want to spend some on upgrading the armor on my 4Runner, specifically skids. My question is, do i really need the t-case/tranmission skid or is the front engine/diff skid good enough? I am currently running...

I am??? Doesn't feel like it lol!

The drive belts dont look bad, no cracks. No idea about the timing belt. I assume it should be ok as it was replaced about 40k miles ago. When i started to hear noise in the belt are i never noticed any wobble in the harmonic dampener, and what was just a few weeks back so I'm hopping i...

Here are some pics. Im starting to think its not as bad as Belle Tire made it sound. Im thoroughly convinced that its just the woodruff key. can that be replaced w/o having to remove the engine???

I had a small shop that was a mile down the road from where i worked do it for like half the price of the dealer... I'd like to think they did it right... however i did have them also do my rear axle seals which then needed to be done again about a year ago... I'll get pics if i can. Right now...

Bought the runner back in 2012 with 61k miles on it from the dealer that i had been leasing my Infiniti G37 through. Huge reputable high-end dealer network so I highly doubt any fraudulent activity. That being said, 12 years old with only 61k miles could mean it sat around a lot, even years...

Im just not sure what to do here. I still owe $4500 on it, but it just seems that its constantly needing work done, still need to replace the steering rack and valve cover gaskets... I guess when it comes to cars, age is more of a factor than miles. All these issues with 106k miles doesnt...
