Re: Re: 04 Option Availability and Keyless Question Where is an aftermarket alarm typically located?

Husker, thanks for the info. But even if it came with keyless originally, the PO may have been put something else in. Is there a red LED that flashes located to the left of the wheel on anyone elses 04sr5? thanks

Brand new 4Runner owner... Picked up an '04 SR5 with only 36k miles this weekend. Is there a page somewhere that lists all the possible options for my model? Also, like many used cars, mine was sold without the fob. How can I tell if I have the standard alarm/keyless entry, or an...

Ron, are you only talking about the front diff lock? I'm looking at a '99 this afternoon. Should I expect to see the rear diff lock botton in the location left of the wheel? Thanks for all the help. Can't wait to get my new toy!!!

Frank, Thanks for the info. That site is pretty amazing.

Yes, I'm considering buying in Europe. Obviously, the logistics are more difficult. And I won't get much of a test run. But I did notice that they have diesel 4Runners. In fact I was surprised to find a classified ad for a very nice looking one in the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, it's very...

Is there a place that lists the changes between the 2nd and 3rd gen 4Rs? Are there any advantages to the older trucks? Lighter maybe? I need a very reliable 4-by to do a 5,000 mile run across North Africa. I expect lots of dirt roads and some sand pits/dunes, but overall this won't be major...
