2.5 years later, I wish I had seen this post at the time and I might not have sold the 4Runner after all. Thank you and hope you sold it already or better, found use for it.

I seem to have opposite experience in this example as well. My 5th gen limited seems more refined and quicker than the v6 in 4th gen. I should also add that my experience on the v6 is limited to a test drive and my memory from a few years ago. Switching seats between the two same day - the v8...

Trying to figure out the immobilizer. Someone tried to break into it early this morning by breaking the driver side door handle. They weren't able to start the 4runner and the 4R's (guessing) immobilizer prevented the theft from happening. The result from what I can see is a broken door handle...

In the 4th gen, the V6 come with 2WD and 4WD mode whereas the v8 only comes 4WD i.e. you can't switch it to 2WD. I have had both v6 and v8 option and my suggestion would be to stick with the v8 even if you are going to drive in the city all the time. 2005+ v8 would be by choice as well. The...

Update on skid plates: After checking with the local shop for several weeks it doesnt appear that they are serious about this work. I couldn’t even get them to tell me how much it was going to cost. So there goes that.

I am looking for front steel bumper preferably Demello Offroad. I am trying to source a used bumper before I pull the trigger on new. I am located in Toronto, Canada but willing to travel US to pick it up - Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Detroit

Awesome. It will help if you have any info on dimensions, otherwise they can measure it on a truck. I will ask them this weekend for an update and will report back here.

Custom Skid Plates Hey guys, since I have started off roading I have been looking at aftermarket skid plates. I like the RCI ones but they are quite a bit expensive. I then found a fab shop in Brampton where I took my truck in yesterday to get an idea of how much it would cost me to get my own...

I am curious if there is an active Toyota Offroad group on whatsapp or messenger where trail runs and meets get organized?

Yea I put it on Kijiji to see what I can get for it. Bought another car that will be money pit and this costs a lot on gas for my daily commute to work (~ 100 Km everyday). I am carpooling in a civic now which only costs 20% of what i spend on gas for 4R. I am just leaving it there on kijiji in...

I only have the Bilstein 5100 with stock springs. The front set to 0.85". I also have spidertrax 1.25" spacers and the last time i went I was running street tires (Michelin LTX). I banged up the OEM side steps and ended up removing them now. I have since then switched to 275/60-18 K02 tires...
