Silver Supra - Yeah, It certainly doesn't look pretty. I'd love to keep it. I'm looking for someone who can help better judge the rust. jgue467 - rear trailing arms...got it. I will give them a look. Thanks! thegipper - I appreciate your feedback! I hope it's not as bad as I think it...

jgue467 - I just added a link of the pictures. Are you able to view them now?

I've gained a lot of knowledge about 3rd gen 4runners from this community and appreciate everyone who has contributed. I understand I'm bringing up a very common issue pertaining to Japanese metal...rust. Reading previous threads, rust can be maintained and sometimes completely eliminated...

thegipper - Thanks for the suggestions. Where I currently live, we got hit pretty heard with storm Quinn. Once the weather gets warmer I plan on removing the timing belt cover to see if other components were affected by the coolant leak... diverscale - I use Toyota red coolant, not prestone...

I noticed a fresh leak while checking the oil level at a gas station. Since then, I've been monitoring the temperature gauge and the coolant reservoir. I've attached two pictures that highlight the apparent areas of the recent leak(s). Before this becomes a major issue, are there any tests I...

Bump

Wow. I appreciate everyone's feedback! So I just looked over the service records that came with the vehicle when purchased it in May.. Dating back to 11/8/2010, the 4runner was diagnosed and the fault code #PO420 is seen on the invoice. The shop traced and located the problem to oxygen sensor...

Engine light came about four days ago. Finally had time to take it to a shop to get a free diagnosis. Attached are the print outs I received. Any input would be greatly appreciated! https://flic.kr/p/LVqNUY https://flic.kr/p/MSVKcR https://flic.kr/p/MSVKNv https://flic.kr/p/LVsr4Z

$4000, about three months ago. 120K miles. SR5. Good amount of frame rust but mechanically sound. Two owner (I'm the third). Received maintenance records when purchased..

I'd like to know as well..

Is there a color code available for a 2000 Toyota moon mist interior?

I tried goo gone initially. It started to fade (color) the small area I tested it on. Today I tried dish detergent in water and applied with a sponge. This time the area didn't fade but made the area that had the scuff/dark mark much larger and prominent. :cry2:

Can I replace this piece without letting the airbag off? Or is there moon mist touch up paint that I can purchase?

psraff I don't plan on off roading in the 4runner. The off road bumpers would be meaningless. However, once I did remove the old bumper, I noticed all the rust on the frame. And I don't even want to talk about my differential.. I plan on applying por 15 to the frame tomorrow. Will post...

I was hoping to recover the bracket but the rust is pretty bad..
