Go for it!

Thanks everybody! On a different note--- I am taking the rig out for its first 4 wheeling "overlanding" trip (About 60 miles). it will be mostly fire service roads and OHV parks on northeast Georgia. Is there anything 4Runner specific as far as handling and mechanics go that I should be aware of?

I am not expert but that would be my thinking.

Hi, I have recently acquired a 1997 SR5 4Runner. its a 5 speed 4x4. I have previously had several 1st gen Isuzu Troopers and love them but when the opportunity presented itself to get the 4Runner I could not pass it up. I have a lot to learn about these vehicles but so far it has been...

I found an amazon warehouse deal for the powerstop drilled / slotted 314MM brake rotors and ceramic pads for $74. I guess i got lucky but I feel it was money well spent. I also changed the rubber brake lines while i was at it. When I bought my 4 Runner it had a brake shudder and pulled to the...

This looks like it would have been awesome. Do you have any links to videos and posts about it? I would love to do this next year.

I am always surprised by what I can learn about a vehicle by just spending time just checking the basic things out. also it doesn't hurt to do some research into where you can get parts locally and what mods people find useful in your area.

i'm following suit...

I have done several cross country trips in my old Isuzu Trooper. It had about 280,000 when i took the last one. I don't think vehicle mileage is an issue as long as it has been maintained. I think for the kind of trip you are going on an all terrain tire would be nice on the street and still...

looks Great!

265/70r17 I have 265/70R17 Cooper ST Maxx Tires with 2016 4Runner wheels mounted on my 1997 4Runner. As far as backspacing, there is about a half an inch between the upper control arm and the tire. These tires measure about an inch taller and a little narrower than the 265/70R16 BFG All...

would these fit a 3rd gen (1997) 4Runner?
