Gas Saver Saw this post spreading around FB, haven't had enough time to try it out and see how much truth there is to this but i thought you guys might be interested :D Buying Gas The Smart Way. TIPS ON PUMPING GAS I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in California...

I hit about 107 before it pegged out, it still had more in it but thats where the limiter cuts off power

I've had my 4runner for about a year now and I think it deserves to see some good roads now. I haven't decided exactly where I want to go but I'm coming from Los Angeles. Right now I'm thinking about going to Big Sur, or maybe just taking PCH and see where I end up. Anyway, I was thinking I'd...

Thanks SantaCruz! very helpful :) Are you referring to the oil used in a cold air intake by a company like K&N? Can you explain that a little better, i'm not to familiar with how all of that works

What is the difference between an ISR Mod and a Deckplate Mod? The K&N dry flow filter is supposed to be "virtually unrestricted airflow" with the downside that you do not get cold air, but if i do that with a deck plate mod i feel like i'll be getting the best of both worlds for 80 bucks and I...

I'm moving on to the next mod for my 4runner and I want to increase air flow. At first I was only considering to buy a cold air intake, but now am I considering just buying a dry flow intake and coupling that with a deck plate mod. Are there any performance gains that I will be missing out on...

How'd you do this grill mod? I'm dying to do it to mine.

I can get up to 22mpg on the highway going to work. As long you as you keep your speed steady you tend to get better gas mileage the higher your speed, up to a certain point. Around city however my gas mileage can get so terrible I don't even want to mention it here, but thats pretty reflective...

2001 4runner I haven't been very active at all on this site but I thought I'd share a picture of my 4runner (:

So, I went off roading in Sierra, Ca the other day for the first time in my 2001 4runner. I must say I was very please with the performance I received. I was wondering though, when driving on terrain like I was where it was mainly trails but a lot of switch between down grades and up grades and...

My parents bought me a 2001 4runner and its coming up on 100k My sister, however, has a 2002 4runner that has is originally owned by my family and it has 215k miles. Runs strong and has never had a problem. The drive is nearly identical, I think the only real difference is that my steering feels...

So me and my friends were joking about how my 4runner sounds a bit like an air conditioner and one of the guys i was talking to said that if i replaced the fan i've got with an electric fan then it wouldn't drown out the exhaust note on my 4runner. I drive 2001 3.4L v6. Anyone have a similar...

Let me know how it sounds! Anyone have particularly good experiences with the cherry bomb?

So, I'm thinking about scraping together some money and tossing an exhaust on my 2001 4runner. I've heard some mixed reviews about putting exhaust systems on these v6 engines. Any suggestions? In the future I also want to change the bumper or put on a brush guard. Does that extra weight hurt...

Thanks everyone (: here is my new runner! I've got a few more pictures from the dealer as well if you guys want to see it. Its actually pretty clean. Hopefully I will get better pictures without all of the stickers on it soon.
