Hey all, thanks for your help. I ended up not buying it. There was oil leaking from the rear seal, rust in the door jams, the valve cover gaskets were leaking, and like mentioned above the headlights did not match. It drove well and I could have owned it for a better price, however it was at...

Nice. You are full of all kinds of great info. Thank you greatly. Keep the recommendations coming, but if no one replies I will update on Thursday regarding whether I purchased it or not.

MPG's definitely drop with cooler weather. Here are a few reasons based on an article at about.com Cold Weather Vehicle Fuel Mileage – Why Winter Fuel Economy Drops – Fuel Mileage Drop in Vehicles Cooler temperatures means more viscid fluids, ie slightly more friction. Cooler temperatures...

--Thanks. I definitely was going to try to learn where on the vehicle the accident occurred and then give it a good look over for signs of work both exteriorly and interiorly, on frame supports, underlying mechanical components, etc. I would have never looked at the headlights... guys thanks...

I hope not. I just put a deposit down on an '02, but if it is I will make sure the dealer does it before I bring it home. Also, in the models listed on the link 4runners were not included, but it does not exclude them. Thanks for the heads up as I am sure that we all appreciate it.

So I just put down a deposit on a '02 Sport Edition 4wd in Sunfire Red Pearl. Here are the details: Maintenance and Mileages confirmed both on Carfax and through Toyota's Owner's Website Miles: 67,147 (Heck yeah!!!) 2 owner (1st owner: lease return to the current Toyota selling dealer, 2nd...

I am looking to buy the rear diff assay of a 99-2002. I need to replace my current diff and would love to buy one from a fellow T4R owner. I do not need a locker, but ABS would be preferable. Anywhere near Minneapolis/St. Paul area including most of WI, Norther Iowa, South Dakota, and eastern...

Never.

Check it out, what fun this would be. 1985 Toyota 4runner SR5 LS MOTOR! Love it, although I would have put a LC V8 in it not a GM, but hey.

You are a genius my friend. This is exactly what I am looking for. :reddance::reddance::reddance: I just made the route out in Google maps and man does that look like one beautiful drive. I guess I was assuming 14-15 hour days to get home before, but now that drive and then 2 12 hour days sounds...

Hey, so I need a little advice on what to do in the PNW for 1 day. My sister is borrowing my 3rd gen for a trip to Seattle (see needs a reliable vehicle) and then is going to leave it at a friend's house until I can pick it up. I am flying in to Seattle to pick it up on 06/14 and I have to be at...

So I have to say that the exterior look of your runner is one of my favorites on here. It is the right blend of stock and mods, and the color matching is the best part, it will be sweet to see it once you finish the color match. Next time I make the trip to Madison to visit my family, we will...

I'll take Clownmeat, clownmeat, and more clownmeat. Haha

I have been on the ChiChimaun Ferry from Tobermory to Southbaymouth Ontario many times, but only once with the 4runner. Here is a pic of 5 years ago with the old and still running strong Sienna (248,xxx miles).

Hey I am glad that you are posting because that means you are alive. I hope you are alright. We feel your "loss of a T4r" pain, however it is against the most officially unofficial forum rules to not provide a story. What happened????
