2.5 hours and $7 Well, I wrote checks that my starter wasn't willing to cash and found my 4Runner stranded in my office parking lot. Had to take shuttles to the airport, but in the interim, I was able to order the parts and wrap my head around the fix. Thanks to everyone who has posted...

T4R Community, I've owned my 1996 4Runner SR5 3.4l 4x4 5-speed for almost 8 years and nearly 70,000 miles. I'm currently sitting at 194,000 miles and have a few things getting done this week. Is there anything else that I should be considering to keep things moving smoothly? Getting done this...

Oh yes. I've been searching off and on for about 18 months and searching within 1000 mile radius. The dealers that have them want a killing for them. I almost had a black one bought with 113k miles, but he seller backed out. It's good that I'm not in a desperate position to buy, because I...

I will likely sell my 3rd gen once I find a suitable replacement. It took my a long time to find V6/4wd/5-speed/West Coast back then and it will be hard to let go of... If I get to that point!

WTB: '06-'09 Limited V8 4Runner [CO] Hi All- Long time member, occasional poster. I've had my '96 4Runner for almost 10 years now and I'm looking to upgrade to something with more power and a few more creature comforts. Must haves: 1. 2006 - 2009 2. Must be Limited trim 3. Must be V8 4...

Yes! I'm absolutely reading all of the wisdom and appreciate everybody's insight. I've thrown a price at the seller considering timing belt/water pump and we'll see where it ends up. This is exactly 10 years newer than my current 3rd gen and has a lot more creature comforts, so it seems like...

Hey All- I'm looking at moving from my 3rd gen of 7+ years over to a 4th gen. I have a limited amount of 4.7 V8 4th gen knowledge, so reaching out to the community at large. What are your thoughts on? - 2006 V8 Limited 4x4 - 117k Miles - Black - Clean title, clean exterior, clean interior - No...

Frs Any reason why this wouldn't work in a 3rd gen 4Runner? Harnesses included?

another 96' - 4wd - V6 - 5 speed

flaps Thank you! Just ordered.

sliders Possibly sliders for me--depending on price compared to the finished product.

tires @ Pitbull -- are yours the LTs?

So I can get a set of used Hankook Dynapros w/ 70% tread left for $175. I need new tires and I would prefer the 'passenger' load rating, but, this value seems almost too good to pass up. How harsh is the ride going to be and how much will the LT vs. the passenger load range affect mileage...

To clarify, since I failed to mention in the original post, these are used. I'm not sure of the mileage as I bought them as a set, but only used the fronts. The PO wasn't sure when they were taken off, but the fronts have held up nicely.

I have a set of '99 "tall" rear springs/coils that I ended up not needing to use. These also include the Bilstein OEM shocks if you'd like. Located in Huntington Beach, CA. Prefer local pickup, but can ship to the buyer at their expense. $30
