Looking for advice on a lift/suspension. Did a lot of reading and there is really a science behind all this. Looking for advice from you fine folks. I have a 1998 SR5 4x4 with a rear diff lock. I'm familiar with working on cars but picking a suspension setup is new to me. I plan on using my...

Besides the OEM bumper and OEM fog lights, what would it take to install the fog lights in a 1998 4runner. I'm guessing I'll need a switch and wiring? Couldn't find much searching through forums. Thanks!

I think I found my fix. Thanks everyone! trailer hitch weld nuts

I have a 1998 SR5, it has rust in the undercarriage so I'm take stuff off before it gets sandblasted. I attempted to remove the original tow hitch but have hit a few snags. #1. One of the 17mm bolts broke off on the driver side, I'm sure that can be drilled out. At least I know it won't stop...

I'm looking for a 3rd gen oem white hood with the scoop. I'm located in California. I can pay for shipping. If needed, I can even swap hoods, plus cash.

For the year, the low price, and the fact it's priced around kbb seems like a good buy. I personally would look at Carfax if you haven't already and take it to a Toyota mechanic to have them check it to see if anything needs to be replaced. I have a 2007 Limited V6 (4x4) at 184,000...no...

Are not the transmission different? I've been shopping around to pick up a used 4runner for myself (my wife has one herself). Needless to say, finding a good one is difficult and pricing tends to be well above blue book...so...I've been thinking about picking up a GX470. However, I've read...

BANG! Pulled the trigger... *****SUCCESS***** -------------------------------------------- Purchased a 4runner. Now I feel like a full-fledged member rather than a 'lurker'.:party: -------------------------------------------- *****WHAT I"VE LEARNED*******...

Hey 2007 ltd edition 4WD 174K miles selling for the KBB Value. Since every other one I have looked at is selling for way above KBB this seems like a good deal…thoughts please.

I figure I'll keep posting to log my experience...... -------------------------------------------------- Visited another used car dealership. 2006 TOYOTA 4RUNNER 4X4 Asking Price: $17,990 -------------------------------------------------- CarFax looks good (no salvage or accidents...

$12,500 out the door (taxes and fees included...which typically amounts to $1,500-$2,000) 2003 / 130,000 / 4WD $8,938 per kelly blue book. I'm thinking about it....

*****UPDATE***** Toyota Used Car dealerships won't budge from their "One Price, One Person" stance. 10% over Kelly Blue Book pricing + taxes and fees (which is another $2,000+ in California).

I currently see one where the customer is asking for about 44% over Kelley Blue Book. KBB says little over 9k for a 2003/130,000. Used car dealer asking for 13K. I think 10-11K would be the target...no more than 20% over blue book....I think...

Looking into buying a 4th gen / V6 / 4wd. One thing I'm noticing is that all 4runners are going for more than Kelly Blue Book...like 20%-40% MORE in California. I'm looking through the following 3 ads: craigslist: south jersey jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and...
