From the OP: The '99 SR5 5-speed manual is Going..., Going..., Still available as of this moment. PM (private message) me and we can work out a hands-on visit. See https://www.toyota-4runner.org/dbseo.php?dbseourl=faq.php&faq=vb3_user_profile if you need help navigating PMs.

LISTED 11/16; SOLD 11/21 for the asking price. This vehicle has been my absolute favorite by a long shot in 45+ years of driving. Sadly, I no longer have the space to store nor time to care for her. She's in great daily driver condition, garage-stored, excellent mechanicals, pristine interior...

Is the height / vertical roof clearance adjustable, i.e., using different bushings at the mounting bolts, or slotting the bracket or rail holes? Thanks, Victory!

Please excuse this potentially SQ, but doesn't the hood latch interfere with a single, full-width lightbar behind the upper grille? Anyone watching with success, please post install photos. THANKS!

After 18 years with a much-loved 1999 SR5 4WD 5-spd stick shifter, I put in my order for a 2020 Army Green TRD Pro a year ago, and waited 12 weeks for it to arrive. Things I miss most? Manual shift: I just love that feeling of connection with the machine. Simplicity: way too many friggin...

Aren't people wonderful? I had less than 200 miles on my 2020 Pro when someone launched a shopping cart into it, denting the driver door and nearby fender. Deliberately. I was parked WAY away from any other vehicles, nowhere near any shopping carts, when I ducked into a Lowe's. Fortunately...

Welcome to the Army Green club! Your upfitting wish list sounds like mine. I can only comment on the SLIDERS at this point: I went with RSG, flat, grip tread plate, bumpout, powdercoat, and so far I'm happy: RSG: I liked the design itself, but several other factors were very important...

Last November I upgraded to Xenon Depot's H11 XTR HID Kit with the Philips XV2 bulb for the LB; and the Xenon Depot 9005 Xtreme Pro LED with DRL driver module for the HB. Aside from a very slight color difference between the 2 Philips HID bulbs (especially noticeable during first 15-20 seconds...

Wow! That is sweet with the lift! Did you have issues with the TSS after the lift???

The logos are riveted on. You can drill out the rivets, remove the logo plates, and touch up the holes with a few dabs of paint. On the other hand, if I spend the better part of $1K on something, it has to be a well-designed quality product on which I usually don't mind the designer taking...

I recommend RSG Metalworks sliders. They were a stock item, minimal wait time, shipped UPS (1 box for each), fit perfectly, and bolted on quick using existing threaded frame holes.

Thanks for the input. I can't believe how easily the bulb adapter just went in wrong and got stuck - I would have thought it would only go in right and stop where it should. On the other hand, it IS Friday the 13th! I will see if I can get a consensus on this...

HELP! Anyone from this great thread: I have only just started trying to replace my front turn bulbs, but when I pulled the OEM socket out and re-inserted it (just a prelim check on wire lengths and accessibility), I got the damn socket inserted and rotated about 90 degrees TOO FAR! Apparently...

Xenon Depot main lighting upgrade a success! Thanks to all who posted here (and several YouTube vids) for inspiration on the Xenon Depot upgrades. Vehicle: 2020 TRD Pro. High Beams: XD Xtreme LEDs with DRL driver: This works great, as it runs the LED HBs on a low-power DRL setting: White...

Interior Lighting Upgrade Underway... Thanks to all who contributed here (and in other threads) on interior lighting upgrades. The OEM setup is truly abysmal. I opted to install the ArcLight White/Red LEDs, starting with the Rear Hatch Lights. I also decided to backstop the process for full...
