Yeah, saw the badges and the hood scoop. It's a lot like mine, but I didn't know they came with leather seats or wood trim. Learn something new every day. It sure is a sharp 4Runner!

Sport edition but without fabric sport edition seats and the god awful wood trim limited dash trim. Frankencar?

No kidding. Most people would understand that because of snow and ice, there's salt on the ground.. lol

No power, rough ride, small inside, no power, they all rust if you are anywhere near a place that has snow or ice, uncomfortable seats, lack of storage areas, and no power.

Not a thing across the board. I can hop in my 2002 SR5 Sport and take off down the road and it will go into 3rd in a matter of seconds. It's definitely not 130F yet either.

yeah, I've been looking for one also locally and can't source one. Also, I don't see it on rock auto.

New parts are used the minute you put them on your car. If the savings is substantial and they check out, sure, use them. I also have worn used shoes I got at a garage sale. Underwear... no, not a chance.

Battery and alternator don't care about spray from the water. The biggest thing would be to not use a pressure washer as it can rip sensor wires off or force water down into spark plug holes and cause misfires. Use nothing more than a garden hose and some degreaser, purple power, simple green...

I dont know if NAPA does this, but I absolutely ABHOR the places that say to keep your receipt for warranty purposes, and then they print the receipt on heat sensitive paper with "ink" that fades over time, meaning, I have to photocopy or photograph the receipt, print it out, and then store it...

In 102k miles we've put a set of tires on the ford replaced the battery, and had the oil changed every 10k miles. Ford recommended we change the transmission fluid next time it's in so that's going to happen also. Its every bit as reliable as my tundra was and my 4 runner has mostly been...

I am not a big fan of my 2002 SR5 sport. Rough ride, tight quarters, uncomfortable seat, all in all, a huge change going from my 2008 tundra limited. It's a weak engine, loud (need to fix some minor exhaust leaks), and generally just isn't pleasant to drive. I'd rather drive my wife's ford...

Found walker's site which has good info. This is for a 2001-2002 4runner: Qty 2 31384 for the muffler front and rear connections Qty 1 31374 between front converter and rear converter Qty 1 31549 between front pipe (crossover), and front converter. Those 4 items are about $26 on Amazon as of...

I'm having similar issues but want to replace all the gaskets from the manifold back. I am pretty sure the manifold gasket isn't leaking, but will perform the smoke test this weekend. I want to get all the flange gaskets, from the manifold to the crossover pipe, cat, etc to the muffler. I...

Brake fluid. Its "clearish" and mine does the same thing. You'd think the brake fluid reservoir would be sealed since it's hygroscopic, but nope,it still leaks out of the cap, runs down the inside of the engine bay, and deposits right where yours did or a little to the right.

I put these on my 2002 SR5 Sport and they fit perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YWCRD84/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
