Are the rear bumper parts rust-free and available?

I've had one since 2005. It's much better looking in person, although it makes it hard to keep your anonymity amongst all the other 4Runners. :p

I have had one since 2005. A few years after I bought it, someone else in my relatively small town began catching my attention when we would pass each other on the road. There are still two in my town, but mine has a roof rack, and the other one doesn't. I see them occasionally when I'm out of...

I second the Crutchfield suggestion. I got a replacement radio/CD player with iPod connector for the '96 that I drove for 100K (that my brother drives now). It has 250K now. But we've done a lot more than tires, brakes and oil to it. Check that timing belt! ;)

I have had a similar problem with an '02 Sport, except it doesn't rev when I accelerate. It just feels like it's in neutral. It's been doing it since December of last year (2008). It's always when I've come to a stop and then try to accelerate. And it's intermittent. Sometimes the O/D is on...

I drove a '96 SR5 for five years and put 100K on it. Now I drive an '01 Limited. I've had it for almost four years (53K). I miss my '96. It seemed to have a better ride than my "lowrider" '01. The difference isn't huge, but I notice seams in the pavement or other bumps jostle me around more...

I have been driving 4Runners since 1999: both 2nd and 3rd gens. I never used the ECT in my '96 SR5 or my '01 Limited until a few years ago. It seems to increase my mpg by a few mpg, especially in the '96 (currently 250K on the odo). But I live in the mountains at ~4000 feet, so the altitude...

I'm looking for information about the value of a 1995 4Runner. It's my mom's second car, and she's thinking about selling it. The main difference from most other late 2nd gen models is that it had a new engine installed in 2005. Toyota did the head gasket recall years ago, but it blew again...

You still have the most Toyotas! If my sister still had her '89 we would have six in the family, but she sold it years ago. The "hidden car" is a '65 Mustang.

My family currently has five 4Runners, so they all have names to reduce the confusion. My username reflects the name of the white '96. I used to drive Mr. White, but now my younger brother has inherited him. I'm female so of course the 4Runners I drive and name are male! I now drive an '01...

Let me preface this by saying that if my brother decides to buy this 'Runner it will be the 8th one in my familly (1 1st gen, 2 2nd gens, 4 3rd gens). We all love our 4Runners. It's got 94K and the guy wants $10,800 for it. It's Imperial Jade Mica, has the 4WD, and is an automatic. Timing belt...

I just noticed you're in NC. If you decide not to take it, let me know where you are and if the offer stands for a stranger! :p

I'd go for it. If it has a blown head gasket it's probably an early '96 model. My first car was a 96 SR5 but it was manufactures in March of 1996 so it was later in the model year. I personally think they had made a lot of improvements in the new redesign (first year of the 3rd gen) and the...

Congrats on your new ride! I found a Glacier Metallic 4Runner (from what I've read on here and other sites they only made the 4runner in that color in 2001) at a dealership in 2005 and scoffed it right up. Then again, I'm a girl, so I actually like the color! ;) I used to have the only one in my...

Gotta be an April Fool's!
