Well that's fantastic, I always wanted to know what my stock rims would look powdercoated, now I'm getting it done for sure. Sorry to go off topic everyone. :)

Dude I am jealous. Like I posted above, got my 2002 SR5 4x4 with 82,500 on it for $12,500. Granted, I wanted black, and was willing to pay a premium for it if need be, but this is a SICK ride. Did it come with those rims? If not, please PM me the model, I gotta have em. :)

Really? I would love to. Is there a guide to do this?

Thanks guys! I'm going to do a little calling around now that I've got some ammo. Everyone is always so helpful here. I love owning a 4Runner! :)

Bought my 2002 4Runner SR5 4X4 for $12,500 with 82,500 miles on it last February (2/08). Now I have 110,000 on it and I've only done oil changes and some fluid flushes over these 21+ months. I did add a grille guard and upgraded audio, but those were obviously optional. :) Although if you've...

Thanks! You were able to get it at Costco? I assume this was an in-store purchase...man if I can get it at Costco, then I'm set! (calling them now)

Hey guys, Got a 2002 SR5 4x4 with 110,000 on it. I've been putting off replacing the timing belt (and while I'm at it, the water pump) for about 10,000 miles. :P Anyway, winter is coming and I figure I should just get this done finally. I live in Minnesota, and my local mechanic (who I trust...

You can just drop one of these Optimas in? I noticed on their website it says " Customer must know: * Height Adapter May Be Required * Check Hood Clearance " I need to replace my battery and was interested in getting one of the red tops. I've got a 2002 4Runner SR5 4x4.

Hey. I moved to Minneapolis last March. So, I missed the bitter cold (like sub-zero temps) but still got some of the winter. I don't really remember a drop then, but I can't say for sure. So, yeah, this would be the first full winter with the 4Runner. Before I had it in Southern California...

Hey all, So my 2002 SR5, which has about 102,500 on it, has over the last 1,000-2,000 miles experienced a drop in the MPGs. I don't know how much the weather effects MPGs, but I do live in Minneapolis, and it's been friggin' cold the last couple months. Anyway... In December, at around 98,000...

Hey everyone, I recently posted the thread on new tires for my 4Runner. Thanks for all the help - I'm still debating between the REVOs and the BFGs (since the weather is still amazing here - I'm gonna wait another week before making a final decision). Anyway, I wanted to get...

Hey everyone, Just called a Discount Tire, and they are quoting me $760 for a set of 265/75r16s. Does that seem right? One of you mentioned getting a set for $532 in North Dakota. I don't mind paying, if it's a fair price. About the same price for the BFGs, fyi.

Hey everyone, I've been paying close attention to the discussion thus far, and I will clarify what I drive-on, how and my average usage. I do live in Minneapolis, so, most days I am driving around town, or taking freeways. On weekends, many times I will go down to Rochester (where my fiancee...

Yeah, I'm only out here for another year and a half (so, two winters), then back to California. So guys, these tires need to last me two winters!

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I hadn't thought too much about the price. I guess that's less of an issue as I am concerned for my safety above all else. Given it's snowing/below freezing about half the year here, the cost is less of a concern for me. As far as miles/year, I tend to do a...
