1998 Toyota 4Runner SR5 3.4L V6 w/ TRD supercharger and 5-speed manual trans. 203,000 original miles Desert Dune Pearl with tan interior. This truck is a rare find. It lived its life in Colorado until 2016, when I bought it with 155k original miles. It was totally stock and clean. Even the...

Hey all, Looking for a local buyer for this. Perfect condition - only on the truck for a few weeks of city driving before I pulled the trigger on a CBI swingarm bumper and had to remove it. the top mounting bracket's been on my truck since I removed the ladder, so there's a little weather...

Hey everyone, Here's the last of my dumb moves: a Gobi ladder I ordered and put on my truck for exactly two months before I installed a CBI swingarm. Since it's pretty much new and they have such a crazy wait time, I think $200 is fair for anyone wanting to get this by the holidays. You'll...

the end of an autumn upgrade madness Well, my 3rd Gen is just about done (for now). In May I found this really well kept '98 ... manual trans, supercharged with 155k miles, and babied really well. It ended up at an auction after being traded in by its third (very short-term) owner, so it needed...

Awesome. I ended up going with the OME 861's (LC fronts), longer boss shocks, panhard drop/brake line for when it's not loaded down - and it sounds like we had similar things going on with the 890's so I'm interested to see some side by sides once they're all done.

... cheap to repair "stock". and then there's the rabbit hold of mods that get really pricey. welcome!

I second that. thank you very much. about to take my first trip out west where the overlanding is proper, and these are all great things to know.

great build!

great rig!

I'm about to pull the trigger on a RTT and my 3rd Gen has the Baja standard basket. If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably get a utility or stealth rack, but :shrug: ... my question: 1. do I need center support bars to distribute the load for aCVT, or can I attach the tent's own tracks...

I'd be be in on those, too ... but can I suggest maybe two versions (as long as you're thinking of running a product line). The first would match the factory "rigid" mud flaps, and the second could just extend the faring a bit and allow anyone with a modded crawler to go without flaps or just...

what 1" of difference is there in the '99 onward 3rd gens? Anyone know?

I have OME 880 front coils and 906 rears, both with only 3 months of use. About to have a set of 890's available with one month use (still dialing in my rig with the added weight from add-ons). They're $167/pair new and I'll let 'em go for $125 shipped per pair.

This sounds exactly like my problem as well ... same gen and tranny. I look forward to hearing if the t-case fixed the problem. does yours get worse during coasting? Mine tends to go away under acceleration/deceleration and much worse in between (or at speed 65+ with clutch in and RPM's low).

welcome. 'runners facing the ocean is one of my favorite sights. nice rig.
