Sold the white one for a good price. Buyer had a PPI done and the only issue was play in the tie rods and rocker rust. Was a bittersweet moment as that truck had been good to me. Got the blue one muddy and drove into a old mine. I can't believe I went so long without a locker, it really makes a...

E90 seats do seem to be the go-to. These ones are fully manual adjustment which makes it a lot easier to install. I'm not 100% certain if these are more comfortable than the sr5 sport seats, I need to take a long drive to properly test them out. Thanks! Not 100% sure - I forgot to ask the guy...

Planning to sell the white one once I have transferred some parts over to the new one. Swapped the grey vinyl interior over to the new truck, and picked up some new front seats off marketplace. They are Mazdaspeed 3 seats, with the rails welded onto 4runner seat mounts. Driver sites about 1/2...

About a week after I installed my lift, I was browsing through Craigslist on a Friday evening while not quite sober (as one does) and found a good deal on another 3rd gen. Went to go check it out the next day and ended up bringing it home. 1997 in Lavender Steel Metallic, with Moon Mist...

Spring 2021: I decided to pull the trigger on a (budget) lift. Rear: Landcruiser 7.5 wraps with landcruiser shocks (3.5 inch lift), 3rd gen 4runner front swaybar endlinks (about an inch longer), and then 3 inch square tubing as bumpstop extensions. Front: 4runner Bilstein 5100s on the top...

Winter 2019: I picked up this '99 for just 2000 Canadian Pesos. 410k km, no rust, drove nice and tight. I fixed up a bunch of small things on it, drove it for a bit, and sold it right before 4runner prices spiked due to Covid. C'est la vie!

After that, I deciding I would put some money into the truck and keep it. Did a ton of maintenance including timing belt, added projector headlights, did the Tundra brake upgrade (well worth it!), and painted up some FJ cruiser wheels to wrap in Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws (awesome grip in all...

Daily drove it for two years doing not much more than oil changes. Decided to sell it to raise some money for other stuff. On the test drive, right after I agreed on a price, the block heater popped out and puked coolant everywhere. This was the only time this truck ever gave me a problem...

Spring 2018: I picked up this '97. Originally a green truck, it was repainted white, has a grey vinyl interior (I've never seen another one with this). Had around 235k miles on in, ran like a dream. When I bought it I thought it was rust free, but I soon discovered the rockers were full of...

Hello! I've been a lurker on various car forums for a while, figured I would start my first build thread. I'm currently on my 3rd 4runner, so I will start with a quick history of my 4runner ownership journey.

That colour is awesome!

Posting on a 4runner forum asking if you should get a 4runner is going to get you one response. :laugh: If you don't mind putting in the work yourself, it can be quite rewarding. I'd say go for it!

IIRC there is a screw behind the top right of the HVAC panel, is that getting in the way? If you have the center plastic cover off, can you get the top right clips in place before you push the rest of the clips in?

Welcome! Post some pics of the trucks!

I've had my wildpeaks for about 10k miles now, and I'm noticing they are wearing pretty fast, as well as have some cracking in the treads. With a 55k mile warranty I was hoping they would last a little longer. I had the truck aligned when I got them so I dont think its that. That being said, I...
