Sorry. Still trying to figure out this picture thing. Blue is before. Tan is after. Duh. ~original[/IMG] ~original[/IMG]

After a long time deciding on a color, finding auto paint at a reasonable price, deciding how I was gonna do it, and waiting on the weather to cooperate, I finally did it. She went from the ugliest blue to the old fashioned tan. Here are some pics in the "paint booth" if I can get them to...

Get it. I payed 2500 for one with 270k miles on it. I have now put 6k since and runs like a champ. I have also put a lot of time and had a lot of fun working on it doing simple mods. Painted it to make it the 4runner of my dreams. Love driving this thing. Mine will never be for sale.

I recently bought a Kayline soft top that didn't have all the parts but figured I could order those from Kayline or fabricate them. Found out that Kayline and STC went out of business and I lack the skills and tools to make the missing parts. So I either want to sell what I have, the vinyl top...

Mine does this sometimes too. I can ease off my clutch just a little bit while easing it into gear and it will slide right in. I don't let off enough for the gears to grind though. Sometimes when I can't get it into reverse, I'll try to put it into 1st, and then back to reverse and it will...

Here ya go in case you haven't found one yet. EBAY

Can't answer your question directly but can tell you that I've seen the hardware for mounting to undercarriage on ebay. And I'm sure you could get rid of your tire mount on ebay and end up on the plus side. I would have loved to trade you when I had my 2nd gen. Im bout to drop a good bit on a...

ADD A LEAF Just ordered a new pair. They were by far the cheapest at $30/pair. I know that single AAL's can possibly kink the spring at the end. Is this a problem even for people who don't rock crawl? Here in eastern NC we have to go a ways to find a rock. I do tow a boat a lot so I needed...

The plug shouldn't affect the back window. It doesn't on my anyways. Check and make sure you don't accidentally have your rear wiper on.

Thanks ya'll. I thought it was Smitty but didn't see anything on the website. I would love to have one. I like the retro look. Anybody have a used one they want to sell? Don't really want to pay full price for a new one either.

If you are trying to keep it OEM then I would try looking on ebay, junkyard, anywhere else, and then the dealer, in that order. If not trying to keep it OEM then I would buy a new one. It would be as cheap to buy a new one as to get somebody to repair yours. Other than that, just do some...

I am looking for a bumper that looks like the one in this pic. Any idea who makes them? I looked at smittybilt and didn't see anything on their website that looked like this. I also checked about 100 other mfgs and saw nothing like this. I like the ARB stuff too but I'm not spending 1000...

Nice. Love the SFA. You thinkin of going all over orange or are you going to make the top a different color? I'm ready to paint mine also but not sure where to get paint in a color of my choice. Most places only sell a few popular colors. Repost with any more updates.
