2007 4Runner V8 with 3rd row, lifted, in Chicago area, 95k miles with all maintenance done. Going to list it here soon, pm me if you're interested.

4x4 Labs rear bumper provides high clearance and has a hidden hitch built in.

I've been planning an HID retrofit for a while, and have a spare set of headlights waiting in my garage. I had planned on doing a Morimoto d2s 4.0 but recently saw that they have introduced a Morimoto LED kit that claims similar performance as the d2s 4.0. I saw some writeups on other forums...

Already gone, thanks!

GONE! Thanks for your interest. Free, you pay shipping. Works fine, just an older model. Bluetooth was finicky for me, so I just used a USB drive most of the time. Jensen VM9423 Touchscreen, double-din DVD/CDRW, medialink, remote, etc Crutchfield link to nearly identical model Sonic...

V8 timing belt kit (Aisin), Stant thermostat and thermostat seal Amazon links: Timing belt Thermostat Thermostat seal I bought all of this a month or so ago, planned on doing the timing belt myself. Changed my plans as work has been too busy and I got a promotion, so I paid the dealer to do...

It's similar, but not identical to the models without the 3rd row. I remember a thread where someone was researching putting OEM 3rd row seats in his non-3rd row model and there were significant floor mounting differences. The few details I remember offhand: The 60/40 split on the 2nd row...

I painted mine black. I've seen suggestions to use 2014 Tacoma windshield washer reservoir as it moves it up into the engine compartment

Looks like it, they have a few pics on their FB page too.

Interested to see what you build

I prefer the looks of the 4x4labs bumper.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 has a big following, won many online all terrain comparisons. I went with a set of Cooper Discoverer ATP (very similar to AT3, slightly more aggressive lugs, but still all terrain rated) and have been very happy with their performance in all conditions. I haven't done any...

They can be removed fairly easy. Wife insisted on a third row model, we've not used the third row once yet though. It is not comfortable for an adult for any long trips. I figured we might use it for kids and their friends, which still may happen, as my kids are still young.

I have Cooper ATP 285/70-17 on mine (e-rated) and I've been very happy with them. Probably put 15k of road trips/towing on them through all sorts of conditions and have had zero problems, with great traction in dry/wet/snow. I've not taken it in very difficult offroad conditions, but have been...

Get some grey pleather/vinyl from a craft store to wrap the steel and it will match the interior more closely and no one will even notice it. Also it will protect the sharp edges from catching a hand, forehead, etc.
