Just found him on IG, I'm going to inquire about a set with hid's. ...this would be a deal.

I waited over 9 months with cash in hand to find a 5speed 3rd gen in the Tri State area. I found a BUNCH of auto/4wd with bumper rust/assorted rust, but clean ones were mostly on dealer lots for outrageous prices. I creeped long enough on CL/Ebay and found my 98/5sp with 116k for $4,500. You...

just want to verify its in the door jamb? sorry for the dummy question, but Im explaining via phone to someone not very technical and with 0 knowledge of the truck. I asked to look in door jambs and she said she saw nothing :help:

wow thank you sir! the truck should get arrive today, I'm going to ask someone to check for me. Appreciate it!

Borrowing a nice snap on torque wrench and 1/2" snap on electric impact. I should have enough tools to get started on it. They're dropping the truck off tomorrow at my cousins house since he has space and a large driveway to work on the truck in. Waiting on call backs from 2 yards today locally...

I found some on ebay for ~500 like you guys are saying all with 100-150k which im comfortable with.. just want to make sure I have 4:10 ratio in the rear? All the other options would say yes, the listing says: 98 4wd no locker w/ 16" wheels (which all I have) w/ 4:10 gears. thanks guys

Damn that's significantly less than anyone around here, IDK why they're so expensive. Seems very straight forward, I just lack air tools at my garage...I'm trying to get a mechanic friend to help, but is there a write up anywhere so once I get the truck in the garage I can get as much done as...

Hey guys, Have 2 questions, anyone with experience if you'd chime in that would be great... I had someone hit my driver side rear wheel, and bend it in about 45* literally bent at the point right behind the drum. Nothing else seems damaged, and the accident wasn't too bad (IMO). Anticipating...

I dont know whats so surprising to everyone. Its a simple efficient setup that is so brains free simple it boggles my mind. no tuning, no added fuel upgrade bs, no gauges needed other than a turbo timer. I love it, and its on my list for sure this summer. I can mount everything and do this in...

just getting curious and looking for donor parts locally to get the ball rolling, If the rear transaxle and all needs to be changed out from getting tweaked in the accident, which 4runners can I pull the most direct swap out of? Mine is a 98 5sp no locker. Im not sure of gears in the rear, or...

what did you end up getting paid out?

should be talking to the adjusted tomorrow at lunch, I'll hopefully get a nice ammount back for it :(

Hey man, thanks! I will definately keep you in mind. I havent heard back yet from insurance but hopefully will soon. I'll shoot you a PM, thanks!

Thanks for the help guys, here is a shitty picture of how the rear wheel looks. Literally ripped the front end off of a MK5 Jetta. I suppose since I do maybe a dozen off road excursions a year I don't really need anything heavy duty unless it was one of those things you just do while you're...
