I recently bought Bilstein 5100s and OME 2195E to install on my 2005 4Runner. My plan was to do the install with the help of a friend who has access to a full commerical shop with the works. Unfortunately that is no longer an option and I am looking for a shop to do the install for me. Here are...

If you are willing to separate, I am interested in the wheels. I live in Atlanta but will be in West Virginia this weekend. Would be the perfect time to meet.

Are you willing to sell a single JBL tweeter? I need the front passenger door tweeter (not sure if the passenger/driver are different shapes or not). Thanks, Rob

Yes you definitely could store things under the platform behind the front seats. We did this using under-the-bed storage containers. Something to know when considering a back end that folds into a sleeping platform is that the length from the back of the back seats to the back of the front seats...

This is my first thread, so I'm going to screw it up. Bear with me. This past spring, with the help of a friend with a lot more woodworking skills and a lot more tools, I built a sleeping platform in the back of my 2005 V6 Limited. I modeled mine off of g3ran3t's posted here...

I had high hopes after reading this post. Spent the morning calling around to salvage yards and finally found a full set of grey leather seats. However, the salvage yard owner said the driver frame was bent and yet still wanted $1500 for the entire set. I just laughed and said thanks for your...

Unfortunately no. The seller is a small time dealer operating out of an office suite. He purchased the car through an online auto auction.

I agree, if the owner continued to drive it, it's likely okay. When I test drove the vehicle everything felt fine.

I'm in the market for a 4th gen w/ 4wd in silver. I've found one locally that is one owner, southern owned, all maintenance performed at owners local toyota dealership, but had one accident on its history report that occurred in the middle of his ownership. It's an auto check history report so...

If this were for sale 2 years from now (when I'm out of graduate school and in a full-time job), I would definitely meet you in VA to buy it.

NuclearN8 and blackoutt, thanks for your awesome replies. If it does end up being surface rust, how much does the preventative maintenance/coating you recommend cost for materials and labor roughly?

I am considering purchasing a 2004 4Runner from a private seller in my area (Georgia). He has owned the car for 2.5 years and half of it's miles (total 135K). He is the second owner. The first owner was in NJ according to the carfax. Everything about this 4runner is great (price, features, etc)...

I'd be interested if I could afford it. You can see from my recent WTB post that this is what I'm looking for other than I am looking for something with higher miles simply so it'll be in my price range. My guess is that people on these forums are more interested in the older generation t4r's...

Nice one for sure. I would be interested if I weren't all the way down in Georgia.

I'm looking to buy a 4th generation 4runner w/ these specs: v6 4wd black exterior sunroof <150K miles and I'm located in Atlanta, GA. Though this will be my daily driver, I will be using it to take a cross-country road trip through Colorado, Utah, and California. I plan to add a platform in...
