Used Hyper Dip Just wanted to follow up on this. we ended up getting the Hyper Dip from DipYourCar.com, and did the wheels and the rear emblems. Check out my album below (Some Pics) it was really easy, and looks great. We ended up taking the wheels off to do it. We will see how long it lasts!

Final Pics I ended up getting the Rola, and also doing the brackets that Pho Runner did. Take a look at the link below (Some Pics) it was really easy, and cheap! and it's solid. I tried putting on the OEM rails, abut was not stable at all. this gives it a good look, is solid, and also not...

Getting the Rola I bought the Rola on Amazon for $165. It seems using the factory rails will not look great, so I will be doing what this guy did. Seems easy and rather inexpensive. Custom Mounted Rola Rack + Extension on 3rd Gen 4runner - YouTube thanks everyone for the feedback.

Thanks Joe. Looking at your pictures of your 01....which basket is that one?

I searched a few posts, and found some info. It seems these are inexpensive roof rack baskets that look good. Not so much looking for utility, just looks! I have the factory rack, with the crossbars. Also has a sunroof. Do I need other stuff for these to work? CURT ROLA Amazon.com: ROLA...

I thought about this...this stuff looks pretty good! I guess you would take wheel off to do it? Or do you do it with it on the car?

Thank you for the explanation! How do I know how wide to get? Looks like doing a search for 16 inch with 6X5.5 brings back mostly 8 or 10 inch wide.

HI there- this may be a dumb question, but here we go. My son has a 2002 4R with size tires 265/70 R16. It has the standard silver wheels, and he wants black ones. I am trying to search for them, and do not understand sizing. For example, I found these: BLACK | 15X8 | 6X5.5 | 4.25 BORE | -19...

Fixed! I know this is an old thread, but thought I would provide the resolution for all! I ended up buying a used ABS Controller on ebay for $220 and the mechanic installed and programmed it, and all is good again! Speedometer working, and all check lights off. Ended up the ABS controller was...

Hello- 4R has been great, but one day ABS light went on, along with Speedometer not working and E-brake light on. Checked fluid, is good. Took to my very honest and reasonable mechanic, and he could not get codes off of it. He replaced the speed sensor to no avail. He believes it is the ABS...

Hi all- I am slowly going through items on my son's new to him 2002 4Runner. The hatch lifts are worn. I have ready a bunch of posts, some have gone OEM and some have gone after market. I have the two supports in the cart at McGeorge Toyota, with shipping comes to $122. Some of the better...

Just finished the replacement of the front and rear shocks and coils on my sons 2002 4R. It was a tough job, but we got it done. For rear, hardest parts were removing and installing the new coils, and the top nut on the shock. For the front, was a pain installing new one as with the OME and...

Hello- I was wondering if need to replace the entire UCA, ir can i just replace the bushing? Reason i ask is. I drive a 2004 F150 (the 4R is my son's) On the F150, you cant replace the OEM UCA bushings only, its connected to the UCA. And i am embarking on that project, as the bushings are bad...

Hello- I am starting this weekend to replace the rear coils and shock absorbers. While doing this, I will be removing/replacing the Sway Bar links/Stabilizer Links. Should I replace them as well? The links are like $80 each. It looks like the cushion is a bit worn. Should i just replace the...

This would be perfect! ~1 inch diff.
