When I first got my 01 sr5 I bought 4 bilstein shocks online for $160 I think and a mechanic charged me $60 to put them on. My 4Runner is in the shop now for a 100,000 mile check up. I needed a new cat back exhaust (rust) and I also used epoxy to patch the rear differential housing because it...

2001 sr5 same thing The rear differential housing on my 2001 is rusted as all get out and has a really slow leak (unless hot then it's a drip every 10 secs). There are no boneyards withing 100's of miles of here that would have a 2001 4runner in them. I read somewhere on line one guy took all...

Is there a source anywhere to get a 2001 SR5 back door toyota logo? I've checked e-bay from time to time and have googled it on and off for a couple of years but no luck so far. Thanks.

Does anyone know of any reliable on line parts dealers? I'm trying to find both stock parts and maybe a few accessories but 90% of the dealers I've seen, innerauto.com, autopartswarehouse.com, toyotapartscheap.com etc. are all run by the same company and have horrible reputations. And is there...

Welcome! Nice tires... got the same ones on my '01 SR5.

Hi everyone. I have a 2001 SR5 with 87K miles on it and so far I have never had a single problem... UNTIL I was gone for 3 months overseas and my 4R sat idle except for being started and run for a few minutes once every 2 weeks or so. When I got back and started driving it again I noticed that I...

Pros: it's the cheapest performance boost there is. Cons: None that I'm aware of.

Mobile 1 SUV and purolator filter:p

I'll add another one to make it even more confusing. Most of the mufflers I tried were too loud, i.e. flowmaster, magnaflow etc. I put on a pretty cheap dynomax super turbo and love the heck out of it. Just the right rumble without noise or drone.

I lived in Oregon for 10 years (wish I was there instead of Ohio) and 3 weeks of rain would be a short spell this time of year.

Speaking of the deckplate mod... Does anyone ever put the plate back in? I don't off road much but I read that the hole should be covered during heavy rain. I haven't put it back on as of yet and haven't had any problems.

I put bilstein HD's in even though my 2001 only had 67K miles. The handling is a little better but if I go over large bumps really slow the cab bounces back and forth a number of times before stabilizing.

I just got a 2001 Sr5 little while back and so far it's been great. Mine only had 67K on it but I've seen T4R's for sale with 200K+ miles on them. The only drawback to an '01 that I've seen is difficulty getting accessories, or even aftermarket parts for that matter.

All things considered I didn't do to bad getting a 2001 SR5 4WD w/67K miles for $15,000.
