Timmy the Toolman has a video on YouTube where he drops the gas tank and replaces the fuel sending unit. If I remember correctly he goes through an explanation of the resistance that the gauge is supposed to have when reading full and empty so that would be a great video for you to watch to get...

I see your posts in there now. I'm not sure if there would be any issues with that. It might make it ride rougher if you are compressing the springs more than what they would usually compress, but I'm no expert. I would suggest emailing a vendor that sells them to see if they can give you better...

My understanding is that if you want to use the 890 rather than the 906 in the rear then you will have to use either the 4th gen 4Runner 5100s or the Tundra 5100s since they are longer. This info is coming from here...

Agreed. I did a 1,500 mile road trip to AR in March in my '99 that has 260k miles. I had the brakes checked and changed the oil beforehand, but had no issues. Your 4Runner has a long way to go!

So I am trying to put together my upgraded suspension/lift and I'm looking for some advice. I was originally planning on going with the complete OME kit that Toytec has, but after reading this I'm thinking about ditching the OME shocks and going with 5100s. I'm planning on going with OME 883s...

Those look like they would be pretty useful. Did you just have to drill into the vinyl? What made it so difficult?

Well that looks like no fun! Thanks for the pic. I don't know if I want to go through the effort to have something like that fixed. I'm only averaging running out of gas once a year so far lol.

Added these WeatherTech TRD Off Road Stickers to my front mats and cargo mat that I got from a guy on Tacoma World:

Glad I saw this as I am having the same issue and I was about to have the fuel sending unit replaced. Mine will drop to empty after I fill it up and the light flashes. When I get to about 100-150 miles driven on the tank, the next time I start it up it shows full until I fill it up again. It's...

I am actually a student graduating from the University of Tennessee next week. I'll be joining the US Navy after graduation, so I am not affiliated with any of these dealerships or Pro Toy. Welcome to Knoxville! I hope you've enjoyed it so far! As far as details go, I have only been in to...

Just wanted to post this for anyone looking to buy or have maintenance done on a 4Runner or any Toyota in the Knoxville/East TN area since I have lived in Knoxville my whole life I have learned a few things. There are three big dealers in the Knoxville area: 1. Toyota Knoxville 2. Fox Toyota 3...

Yeah it looks like it's just the hood. That price is just crazy.

Anyone know if this part from the stealership includes the insert? Seems like a heck of a lot to be just the hood without the insert, but I wouldn't be surprised if they priced them that high

Just checked out your build thread. Looks great! I was thinking it would look better with the chrome, but I was trying to see if I could be lazy and just buy one of the ones from MJT 4Runner Grille Fab I might just have to do what you did and do my own mod

I was considering getting one of the satoshi grills for my 1999 imperial jade mica (green) 4runner, but I'm not sure how the black will look with the green. Anyone got pics of a satoshi grill on their green 4runner?
