isn't that the price is wrong bi#$%? ;)

Does anyone have any rear bumper recommendations? I am buying a 97 that got rear ended on the test drive and would rather go with a nice after market hd bumper. I have not found anything yet.

In my search for a 4 runner, my wife did some research and found that on the NHTSA shows the 96-98 with a 3 star rating and 99-00 4 star. Did Toyota change anything between the years on the 3rd generation? Here is the page http://www.safercar.gov/Index2.cfm

Well drove the 97 really nice, but on the way back from test drive I got rear ended. :mad: Pretty good damage to the rear deck lid and bumper was pushed into the rear wheel. I still have to look at the 99 but I really like the looks of the 96-98s. The 99 is the highlander edition, but does...

I am looking at buying a new to me runner, one is a 97 the other 99. Both 5spds with rear lockers. Besides the cosmetic differences is there any major difference mechanically between the two years? I am really excited to get back into a runner, this will be my 3rd I have had a 1st gen, 2nd...

Did you have to run wires or are they already there? Thanks!

BTW this is terrible for you truck and the environment. You will saturate your charcoal canister by doing this, not to mention most of the gas will slosh out or evaporate. The net of this is you are damaging your trucks emissions systems and wasting money on gas.

Actually the final drive ration on the 4 and 5 spd are the same. The 5 spd gets you a lower 1st gear not a higher final gear.

That small radiator is your for AC. If you have a V6 you have 5k limit, but add in a WB Hitch and cooler any you might be ok with 7k.

That is settlement he got with the lawyer. Remember they will look at the age of the vehicle, mileage, etc. I hope you can fair better than he did.

They did the same thing to my friend

I saw two around a local shopping area today, a yellow one and black one! The black one was parked next to a black 4th generation 4 runner.

I am not sure I would go as far as saying they suck, nissan is not near the build quality of a Toyota. Most Japan fans consider Nissan to be the chevy of Japan built vehicles. They are not at level of Toyota or Honda.

I agree! What are the best aftermarket coolers out there? Brand wise that is

I was under the impression that the 4spd is actually stronger than the 5spd. They added a 5th gear but did not increase the overall dimensions of the transmission. This 4 spd is derived for the 93-97 FJ80 tranny that is completely bullet proof. The final drive ratio is the same for the 4 vs...
