Well I am pretty sure I share the same brain as some of you posting. lol. I was thinking the same thing. I have a 3rd vehicle now. It is an old car with 295,000 miles on it. It is the reason why my truck has so few miles. That is my daily driver so I am not putting miles on the truck unless...

That is pretty much what I figured Jeff. My Tundra is paid off and I only have 41,000 miles on it. It is 5 years old.

Hi All: I was a 4runner owner and upgraded to a Tundra. I love my truck but my wife thinks we should go back to a 4runner. I am not opposed to this but here is my thoughts and wondering what you all think about this. My Tundra gets 12 miles/gallon running around town. 14.5-15.5 on the...

Please do not call after 9:00 PM Central Standard Time (CST) as we have two young boys. Thanks for looking. SOLD ..

1996 Toyota 4x4 4Runner SR5, 143,XXX miles, 5 speed manual, 3.4 liter V6, AC, Power windows and locks, cruise,etc.. Silver with some pinstriping, tan interior, sunroof, 3 disc CD, cassette, AM/FM radio, and trailer tow package. At 122,000 miles I had the following done: timing belt, coolant...

I too ran into this issue. I put the seat on the far driver's side (because my toddlers seat is over behind the passenger's seat). I secured the one clip under the seat where the seat belt is fastened to the floor. It is a tight clip and you have to manuver it, but it sets in. I pulled the...

Hi all! You guys are the ones I come to when I have questions. That is a no-brainer right there. So here we go.... 1996 4runner 4x4, 3.4 l, 5 speed manual. 140,2XX miles on her. At 122,000 she got new timing belt, belts, plugs, wires, tranny flush, radiator flush, and new tires. Change the...

Hi all: I bought a 1996 4runner from an old widowed lady. She had bought the 4runner brand new. bought it about 1 yr, 1 month ago today. 122,000 miles on it. Good to excellent condition. Could only find 1 small ding in it. she told me she didn't even think anyone had ridden in the back...

I'm here in ND. I can tell you that this guy is going to see more salt than snow if he is driving roads in MN. I believe he will be in the city so he will encounter more "wet" roads than anything else. MN uses a chemical salt in liquid form for most of their road de-icing. Outside of the...

X3 on the Revo's. $532 installed here in North Dakota. Love mine thus far on my 96 runner.

Hi all: Forgive me if this question has been posted before. I really want to purchase the Pro-Comp light bar in the pre-runner style, but it says it only makes one for the 4runner up to 1995 (mine is a 96). I could also buy the "general" purpose one, but I figured that might mean more...

Just finished doing a bunch of stuff to my 96 runner. 96 runner, 125,000 miles, 3.4 liter, 4x4, manual New Dueler Revo's= $532 Coolant Flush, oil change, tranny flush, spark plugs and wires, fuel filter, timing belt. Done at a Toyota dealership with toyota parts = $810.

Firestone store here in North Dakota quoted me $129 plus tax per tire. At first I was going to go find another tire, but after reading this I think I am doing just fine. 96 4runner calls for P225/70 R15's. So I am getting the recommended sized tired. Maybe that is the difference. I am just...

Just bought Bridgestone Duel Revo's for my 96 4runner. $132.00/tire balanced and free rotation. I guess I must be geting a heck of a deal on these things.

Thanks "p nut" and "96runner 4x4"!! I appreciate all the feedback. No plans to lift this thing. I want her just the way she is. Ordered in Husky floor liners for the floors. Change the shocks? Ok, I need some help here. I am not by any means a mechanic (unless of course you would all like...
