So going from a 265/75/16 (stock tire) to a 275/80/16 will rub? I would think there would be a minimal difference in size between these two. I still have plenty of room in the wheel well. My mechanic said the height difference between the two would be minimal.

any takers.....?

I know this has been asked before and I have done searches. Just want to run it by the 4Runner brain-trust. I am going to look at some 94 Landcruiser wheels this week. I know they should bolt right up. I am a little concerned with having read about a "lip" that the factory rims "sit" on, and...

I work and help run a used car dealership. I would think your best bet is going to be selling it now, or soon. As soon as mileage creeps near 250k and up I think it will be much harder to sell. 4Runner's have a great reputation, and at 220k I think you can still get a buyer to bite. Plus...

Well I have owned my 1998 Limited for almost 6 months now and she took her first road trip (140 miles highway one way). I figured this was a good time to see how she rode at highway speeds and see what kind of mpg she got. Well I hand calculated it after 200 miles and it came out to 16.89 mpg...

Shoot me the vin.

If he won't give you the VIN tell him to get lost. Or go look at it and snap a picture while there when the seller isn't looking. More than likely though he is trying to hide something. I'd walk....

You need the VIN# to look up car-fax. Get the VIN and I can run it for you.

Thanks also wfo9. Great info.

1engineer, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you sir. If there is anything I can ever help you with let me know. I am a certified hvac tech, and also help my wife run a used car dealership ( I have access to carfax's, new/used car pricing, and all sorts of tools at my disposal )...

So skinner tires, and a lower fascia will offset the full time 4wd's gas consumption? Is that right?

Ok quick question for you 5th gen guru's. It appears that the limited has a center locking diff, while the SR5 has a rear locker. So does the limited always stay in 4wd? Or is it like an 4wd on the fly type set-up? Just curious as to how the gas mileage is the same between a supposedly all...

Also, my Father in Law runs a Toyota dealership in Clinton, NC. If I can be of any assistance with any parts, or prices for new Toyota's just shoot me a PM.

Thanks for all the replies. The lights are hooked up through an inverter plugged into the back outlet. I just got a cheap harbor freight one for now. Not a ton of maintenance logs on the vehicle. I actually work for a used car dealership and had the mechanic look it over head to toe. It...

Well I am the proud owner of a 1998 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4wd. Bought the vehicle earlier this year and have been lurking around on this website. Figured it was time to show some pictures of the old girl. This is actually our 3rd Toyota. We also have a 1996 LandCruiser, and the wife drives...
