I have a 4th gen 4runner steering subshaft new in box. I ordered the wrong part. It's part number 45203-35310. I can ship provided you cover shipping costs. Part is in Ontario, Canada. Asking $200 Canadian bucks.

I got my runner at 200 now at 220 and just picked up a 3.4 tacoma from a coworker - orig owner - with 280 on it. Theres a couple other 3rd gens in my family with high mileage and the drivetrains are the least of anyones concern. Get the cleanest undercarriage you find.

Jeep thing Ive done the wrangler thing and they certainly are fun but not nearly as reliable or comfortable as Ive found both my 4runners to be which is saying a lot considering the first one was beat on hard. I'd say go for the 4runner. Room, comfort and likely more capable. I remember a...

sounds like you took a chance and got a good buy! I am currently in the same boat. I have my 98 DD which is in excellent shape but i could not pass up a great deal on an 03 tacoma 5 speed that reminded me of my previous 97 3rd gen. Hard to justify modding the tacoma when the 4runner is in such...

its leaking on the drivers side axle tube and the diff cover that i could see

pics heres a pic of the frame rust thats present heres a pic of the rear axle rust. you can see where its already been sealed i can see now that the diff cover can be installed with the axle in the vehicle but it appears from the pic that the gears were removed. anyone care to provide an...

Terminology Excuse my terminology, I was referring to swapping the whole axle in the rear. I would still have the diff lock as both trucks in question have one. It does seem that the Barnes cover is the easiest option. You had it installed without removing the axle? My ebrake cable also...

Hello gang, Here is my dilemma. My family owns too many 4runners and theyre getting older. My fathers '96 limited just had a pink milkshake with 330,000 km on the clock and he has decided not to fix it as he desires a newer, more reliable vehicle. I also own a '97 sr5 with manual trans and a...

I had the struts installed, and the guy (friend of friend) put them on different perch heights. the driver side is on the lowest setting (closest to top) and passenger is 2 perches down from the top. i am not driving the vehicle much so i havent corrected it. I could get pics if youre still...

no the module and entire wiring harness are different and must be swapped. or atleast mine were.

I purchased a 97 because it was 5 speed and had the elocker. I now realize I would have used the awd + centre diff much more often than i will use my elocker with canadian road conditions. Id recommend you get a 99-00 limited if possible.

this sounds fun. im racing christmas to my truck on the road so i can go home to my family. So far for christmas ive given the runner a used rack, new brake lines, new lower control arms, rear seatbelt and a new headlight lens. it better pass the provincial inspection tomorrow! wish list is a...

Im also interested in this question as I just bought new shocks for the front of my new-to-me runner and was wondering if I should find some new/better shape coils to install at the same time.

@shouldbeeasy how much lift front and rear did you get from this setup? i just ordered the 5100s through essex and im not sure what to do with the rear of my truck the truck came with replaced OEM rear coils and shocks so its pretty high in the rear compared to the front right now. i was...

welcome from a fellow new canuck member. what size tires are you running? probably isnt the issue but may play a factor. Also, is it a limited?
