Since no one has actually answered the OP... the chassis is the same as the 4runner any skidplate or slider made for the 4runner will fit the gx. Remember these vehicles came with and without xreas so choose accordingly. I took mine on 3 wheels a few times during one outing all I did was take...

I have been searching this forum, as well as others and the internet and I have gotten conflicting information. Hopefully yall can help me sort it out. I am in the research stage of this project. What I have understood so far is that my 98 4-runner has ADD (automatic differential disconnect)...

no one interested?

Hi all, I'm going to this location this upcoming Saturday 3/30. I have a fully stock 3rd gen anyone interested in meeting up? maybe even showing me around since I am new to the area? This is located between Victorville and Barstow Ca. its going to be fun and a possibly cool mid to high 70s

Hello all I have been here for a while researching and soaking as much info as possible. I was leaning towards a 4th gen but this 3rd gen came along... this is a "4wd" limited. looks awesome on the outside not so nice on the inside, and well the front is missing some parts.. could you guys...

acid trips have a story?!!

so judging by the previous posts forward traction would be the same with the difference being the shape of the area that makes up the contact patch... more square, more rectangular... would that mean that a 255 @ pressure P give the same grip than the same tire in 285 @ pressure P in rain...

I had that issue with my Jeep. my owners manual for my motorcycle states let engine idle for 3 minutes before riding or racing the engine (raising the rpm). or something to that effect... This is on a fuel injected 2005 model where you have to be above 4000 rpm to get any power... granted it...

Just don't run them at 3 psi on the highway and you will be fine! keep the psi higher than you would other tires specially if you live in an area were it gets over 90 F as road temperatures can reach over 130 degrees F. On the other hand if you don't plan to travel at over 90 mph for an...

While I wont disagree with it the statement it seems surprisingly fast for a vehicle that size.. to go along with the thread.. Wow jealous! Im 26 still waiting for my parents to buy me a car...

thanks JB

Any suspension will have to be replaced, these are not lifetime parts. The usual thing that starts going is rebound damping this is with EVERY suspension system you buy. The ability to have them be re-tuned/re-valved or re-built is you do not have to buy the entire set up when you need to...

I might have misunderstood this but for the 08 and up model years isnt the 4wd in the V6 more like a full time? where you retain the ability to be in 2wd if you so desire, but the 4wd Hi can be used anywhere under any condition including high grip surfaces.

wow it is great to find people who are into actually driving the vehicles they own! and into education and proper techniques!
