    'MumTaxi' the 2003 V8 Sport Build

    Thanks Timberland. Yeah I did a lot of research when I found this rig on a used lot 2 years ago. To my knowledge there were only 2 that hit the used market after the TV show and I found the other one. If you remember any other info you stumbled across in your internet travels relating the...

    'MumTaxi' the 2003 V8 Sport Build

    Hey Robb600, That was a factory option that came on the Sport package. Although they are starting the sun fade, i'm considering my options for spray on bed liner. Cheers

    'MumTaxi' the 2003 V8 Sport Build

    I've been quiet for a while but I thought I'd post the latest addition. Just finished up my storage system/kitchen last night. I've got about $400 and 40 hours into these. I used the plans offered up by THeadventureindex but modified them slightly to fit my needs. I have been thinking about...

    You can see one of the brackets in the red.

    Sorry I didn't get back sooner. Thanks for the compliment. I used 2" aluminum angle iron to build brackets by cutting it into 2" lengths and drilling a hole in each side. I then used the 80/20 specific slot nuts, bolts and lock washers to mount it all up. Carriage bolts slid into the slots on...

    'MumTaxi' the 2003 V8 Sport Build

    Lost a bet to a Tacoma owner..... Took a trip over the Magruder corridor last month and wanted to take some auxiliary fuel. I built onto the 80/20 I had mounted across the factory roof rack and extended it out over the cab. Then using 2" aluminum angle iron I fabricated up some brackets...

    'MumTaxi' the 2003 V8 Sport Build

    Thanks a lot. The deal sort of fell into my lap. It did cost me quite a bit to get all the maintenance up to my standard but all in all it was a good deal. I actually talked them down to $11,600 after it was all said and done.

    'MumTaxi' the 2003 V8 Sport Build

    The tent has taken a lot of getting used to. Its a real pain packing it up when its so far up on the top of an SUV. Lots of people will go on and on touting how easy RTTs are and to some extent they are. But you end up crawling all over your rig to be able to reach everything. The sliders...

    'MumTaxi' the 2003 V8 Sport Build

    Around that time I also added a ISI Bike Carrier. These racks are made in Australia and are absolutely bomber. Designed specifically with off road use in mind this rack will take my bikes anywhere the 4runner will go. I did heaps of research and almost went with a North Shore rack but I'm...

    'MumTaxi' the 2003 V8 Sport Build

    Well my expo rig/daily is just about set up the way I want it for now so this might be more of a modification list than a build thread. All the same I'm sure there will be more to add. 2003 Toyota 4runner Sport Edition. I bought this rig used with around 160,000 miles on it about a year and a...

    Speedometer/Odometer Not Working + Related Warning Lights (P0500)

    For what it's worth I can confirm from personal experience that this fix, given the symptoms, does apply to the 4th gen as well, at least the 2003 model. My experience- Speedo didn't work and the ABS, VCS TRAC, VCS OFF and Parking Brake light were on. Throwing check engine light, code...
