My mpg is still shockingly in lockstep with the original EPA ratings. Around town I'll get 16/17, on a long road trip: 19/20. (That's all on crappy 87 with the usual ethanol content.) '98 Limited, automatic, 2WD, with 215K. Stock tire size and suspension.

So update, they cancelled my order because "We regret to inform you that we no longer ship the following: Body parts, Batteries, Radiators, Fan Shrouds or hazmat items. At this time we can not fulfill your order. A full refund has been issued. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have...

Yeah I get that. I think it largely depends on the part. Camelback was way higher than McGeorge and other places when I was pricing out an OEM suspension rebuild, but they have lower prices on other stuff. I think I was shocked because I saw a quote for 5-600 bucks for the first OEM one I...

$122.80 seems psychotically low for an OEM radiator considering several aftermarket units are higher than that. I know Camelback has good pricing on parts but damn. Can anyone provide feedback before I pull the trigger? My rad is getting some hairline cracks and needs to be put out to pasture...

I did. The issue started with a regular bulb. I switched to an LED so it would draw less power if accidentally left on. Weird issue for sure.

I have an issue w my dome light too, but the opposite happens. Mine won't shut off when doors are closed. I put an LED in there and it dims when the doors are closed and lights up full when open. Weird. It's drawing constant power somehow. Sorry to hijack.

That's good to hear about the ride quality. Also, the power numbers on your truck are awesome.

Was in the same boat w my '98. There are enough spring/shock and lift combinations out there to make your head spin. From what I've learned, new OEM springs and shocks are what will net you the most comfortable ride. I went with the '99 tall springs to restore the OEM ride height, comfort, and...

Keep the 4Runner. The GX is a great truck but you're much more likely to find another one just like it down the road if you ever get the itch again.

Anything ever come of this? Seems like a crazy amount of effort to improve a system that might be deficient in the first place. The 3rd gens HVAC is the strongest and most robust system I've ever used in a car. People rig up water/alcohol systems to spray down intercoolers on turbocharged...

That's still pretty good mpg's for those hwy speeds. What is your cursing RPM in 5th gear on the highway? Mine's an automatic and I always wish 4th gear was just a tad more overdriven/taller for highway driving. I once had a 5speed manual Scion and while it got great mileage at roughly 60mph...

Love it when the 3rd gen gets the recognition it deserves.

I have the same. Those are good bulbs Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.
