I don't know when I'll be doing this, but I'm definitely interested. I'll get back to you as soon as possible and send you a message.

Thanks; I haven't been able to check if this was the case, but I suspected as much.

I've been searching for a while now, and I can't seem to find the information that I need on the driver's side grab handle mod. It seems like a pretty straightforward installation, which could be why I can't find much information on it. Basically, I just need the last two numbers of the part...

Check out Ripcord's buyers guide if you haven't already. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/82033-3rd-gen-4runner-buyers-guide.html

Oh, alright. I don't know when I'll be free, but just send me a PM whenever you're headed back to Hickory and we'll see if we can make it work.

That would be awesome! I would really appreciate having a resource like that. I go to school in Boone and my family lives in Charlotte, so you're about an hour from both if I'm not mistaken.

Maybe I just haven't done enough searching, but I'm just having a hard time figuring out how everything connects. Individual write ups are helpful, but they usually don't explain things like "why does re-gearing accommodate for larger tires" or just generally how different systems work together...

Like I said; I probably won't be selling the 2wd. Maybe in the future I'll give it to my parents for hauling the dogs around and such, then buy another 3rd generation in 4wd. Really, I'm not sure what I'm going to do as far as keeping/selling/trading my current 4runner. Regardless of that...

There are a few reasons that I don't want to sell the 2wd to buy a 4wd (although it would be much more practical, I know). I know I'll probably be shunned for this, but I do "have" a 4wd Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (JK) with front and rear lockers, sway bar disconnects, and plenty of armor. If I want...

Oh, I agree that right now I'm not even remotely capable of doing the conversions any time soon. That's not even in my sights at the moment. I just want to have everything planned out and learn the basics of how and why everything works. I also plan on having somebody help me when and if I...

I've got a 1999 sr5 2wd 4runner right now, and I'm trying to determine how realistic it would be for me to retrofit an E-locker. I'm willing to do the work to learn how to do it, but I just need the resources. My first and most important question is if anybody can suggest somewhere to start...

Decided against a custom-built storage box (I don't think they are cost-effective, and usually look cheap) and bought one of these from Walmart for $25.

I'm currently running Pro Comp ES9000 series shocks with the 2.5" spacer kit. I haven't heard good things about Pro Comp (I did this lift quite a while ago) so I was thinking about running OME shocks. Still, I haven't had any problems with my current shocks so I don't think that I'll switch them...

A while ago I bolted a KC light bar into my stock bumper. It seemed to be the best option at the time because I didn't have the money for a new bumper, and I wanted to utilize my PIAA lights. I have some big plans for the vehicle, but I'm not sure what would be best to do first. Currently I'm...

Awesome. Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll give it a try.
