I had a similar issue and a non-toyota mechanic found a problem with my vaccum line for the 4wd.. replaced that and it worked perfectly. The toyota machanic was saying that the switch or the actuator may the problem.

sounds like a good way to get one hella fast truck... I found a nice body with a busted motor.. and I found a twin turbo motor real cheap.. Sounds like a real fun project waiting to happen.

Has anyone ever heard of putting a Supra Twin turbo motor into a 3rd gen 4runner? Can it be done? How much work would be involved? Thanks, Alex

I found a guy on ebay selling inexpensive OEM hella kits for about 40 bucks shipped. Comes with new laps, bulbs, wire harness, and other trinkets to have the lamps work. I installed the kit on my truck.. new lights work great. The guys id on ebay is horsepower1

I just ripped out the old wire harness and lamps for the fog lights and replaced them with the kit I got on ebay. Fogs work great now. Easy install too.. took about 2 hours to rip out the old one and put in the new one. For $40 bucks.. can't beat it.

I think I have the same problem as you. So far I've narrowed it down to a rusty figlight housing. Are yours rusty as well by any chance?

I'm looking for one or a set of stock hella foglights for a '97 4runner. If you have a stock set for sale or if you have a perfect replacement for the stocks, please let me know. Thanks, Alex

anyone need an AC control unit?

Just went through all the records he gave me, the dealer replaced pads and resurfaced front rotors at 47k miles. 77k on the clock. I guess there's my answer. I'm still concerned about the 4wd system, Any insight?

I have a 97 SR5 5 Speed 4Runner and I am having some issues with it which I hope someone else may have had. One major thing that has been bothering me is the 4wd system. When I engage into 4HI nothing happens. In the winter I would shift into 4Hi and after about 10 miles of driving the little...

Selling the AC controls for what I believe is from a 2000 4Runner. It has 2 dials and 2 sliders to control the AC. I baught it to replace the contols in my 97 SR5 but unfortunately the sawp won't work. It does not have the AC button, the one from your current AC control can be used to put in...

that sucks.. i hate those sliders.. <sigh>

I had baught the AC controls for a 2000 4R with the 2 twist knobs instead of the sliders. They tried putting in the 2000 controls into my 1997 4R
