After seeing examples in this and other threads...had to get a set of the rare 16" FJ 5-spokes. Never see them, and really liked the "Coke bottle" 16" Sport wheels it had, but wanted fresher and brighter, still 16". Thanks to Ebay and then a new set of 265-75-16 Kumho Crugen (I have no use for...

Not off road...but when replacing my 2001 Sport's, the idea of a slightly bigger size without throwing off speed, etc. seemed perfect. They worked perfect. 265-75-16 Kumho Crugens. It looks SO much beefier parked, yet all fit perfect, with standard 245k suspension. Lots of options that work...

It's just this from Amazon. Only black ones I've seen: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PC0G07A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Finished stitching on the $8 LemonBest steering wheel cover, after peeling off the last factory ripped chunks last weekend. Perfect. And this 4Runner sub box...that a previous 4R owner gave me "these are rare". No idea how or why, but it's perfection. Perfect with the Alpine he also had...

Finally...a year after purchasing mine, it's back to looking "right". May 2016, bought this 2001 SR5 Sport Black/Tan with the Safari rack on top, and random odds & ends needed, but running perfectly for $2k. Front corner was hit, flare missing, bumper twisted, tires all worn down & mismatched...

Great one! Reminds me of my own 2001 Sport, "blurry Craigslist photo" find, from last year. When it's that cheap, even just cleaning and basic repairs, it can be resold. Otherwise, cheap, fun, tank of a toy:thumb3:

Which switches? My 4wd saga. 2001 Sport with 245k. Original owner told me 4wd didn't engage due to the charcoal canister issue...I never bothered to try it. Ran perfect in 2wd, no issues. Bumped the 4wd button back in June, and since then, blinking lights and random grinding, stuck in 4wd. So...

Good info...mine is months in after being stuck "sorta on" blinking and grinding on certain turns, and now after multiple fluid changes and both the front and rear actuator sensors changed, keeps doing the same but with less grinding. Seems like one of those things...hit it on the right day and...

Sounds perfect. Depending on the tire model I go with, I was thinking a little more meat on the 16" wheels is never a bad thing, as long as no rubbing. Thanks!

Need new tires and not going to lift mine...2011 Sport 4wd. Has 265-70-16's on it now. Would 265-75-16's fit on the stock height car? I know speedo will be off 1mph, roughly, but any rubbing issues? Like the idea of just a tad more sidewall and bulk.

My 2001 Sport 4wd in Black & Tan, with safari rack, on the day I bought it back in May. 245k running strong, other than a malfunctioning 4wd/transfer case at the moment. Still working on visuals, and maintenance. But LOVE it.

The only other item I could even think of... When I bought it, the previous owner told me the fuel inlet charcoal canister needed to be replaced, as it was overfilled a few times and it won't let you easily fill up without clicking the pump off. Completely unrelated, but he had said that was...

So having spent some time doing this, we've changed both the front and rear actuator switches (mentioned elsewhere) with new Toyota parts. Changed the fluid more than once. Still continues to blink, and grind when turning right, as it's "kinda engaged". We've worked for a long time over a month...

I've had a string of nonstop fairly pricey new cars...then a company car for years. Needed to own my own, and thought "4Runner? How did I not think of this before?" Perfect cash purchase. Found a 2001 Sport 4wd with 244k on it, some bruises, dents, but awesome. It needed some service but that...

I have another off these oddball...it won't get out of trying to be in 4wd, we think, scenarios. 2001 4Runner Sport with 245k. Was in 2wd when I bought it, never touched the shifter. One day I clicked the 4wd button on the side of the 4wd shifter just to see what it did, but didn't move the...
