    FS: 3rd gen Control Arm Bushings- new. Naples,FL. 20$ each

    Never attempted to push out the old bushings on the old control arms because I ended up buying a set of new control arms w/ bushing preinstalled. My control arms were pretty rusty and I did not want to deal with paint prep etc... The part numbers are as follows: Lower Control Arm Rear Bushing -...

    FS:3rd gen rear Cargo Cover; $100 OBO. Naples, FL.

    Yes, I will ship. I am sure a rigid cardboard tube will protect the plastic ends. Also the ends aren't that fragile from what I can tell, however only the carriers know what horrendous acts take place in transit, so I will likely insure the item.

    FS:3rd gen rear Cargo Cover; $100 OBO. Naples, FL.

    Hi all, have this laying around and I decided it's not going to be part of my build anymore...It's from my dad's 2002 SR5 4wd. Saved it when he got rid of the truck along with the floor mats. Retract works well. All the felt is minty. I don't ever recall him using it; potential to hide gifts at...

    97 Anyone know this one

    .02 "don't loose this chance" haha. I know it's low miles and has a roof rack, but I don't think it's a 10k build... I am in Naples, FL and saw this one on craigslist too... I guess those are sr5 seats, but my base 1997 has different bolstering and, also I didn't know the 1997 came with the...

    FS: 3rd Gen, fat lip upper cover, NIB $100 OBO; Naples, FL.

    Hi all, I know the fat lip isn't popular with everyone, but for those who are doing the swap or looking to replace your existing sunwashed plastic, I have an extra upper cover. Brand new, in box. Will ship in the same packaging. It's a very light item, so I am guess shipping won't be too much...

    Real or Scam

    Scam? I'm thinking so.... Looks like a really clean 4runner, however there is no information contained in the post regarding transmission, engine type, 4wd or 2wd, or VIN. I emailed the point of contact and received this as a response to a few questions regarding aforementioned... I have also...

    1998 sr5 frame swap + possible maintenance/build thread

    Right on brother- thank you. I need to sack up and start driving around to junkyards. I knew the floor repair was going to entail exactly what you said, cutting out a good floor from another truck... Need to get some quotes on the control arm area ASAP. I also need some muffler work. If fact...

    1998 sr5 frame swap + possible maintenance/build thread

    I am hoping this within the realm of fixable by an amazing act... haha. The first is driver side, no pitting on the inside side of the lower control arm mount, but there is considerable scaling that I have painted over. The second is passenger side, no pitting on the outside, only inside. Third...

    My “Forever” 4Runner, 02 Stellar Blue Sport

    Very nice look I agree- I went with 255/75/17 (General APT A/T) and I'm really happy with the look and fit too...honestly I think I would have had rubbing issues with larger tires ( any wider or any taller) with my SPC upper control arms in the front without switching to a wheel with a different...

    Right on. I'll take a couple snaps in the morning of my pitting/holes...just finished cutting off my front bumper tonight. I'll definitely prioritize rust prevention from now on haha. This truck is going on 22 years old so I have to say I am willing to put in blood, sweat, and tears as she's...

    1998 sr5 frame swap + possible maintenance/build thread

    rusted rear trailing arm frame mount Is there any hope of salvaging a frame that has rust in that area? I have a truck from Rochester, NY, but at this point there's a hole through the floor above the passenger side shock perch thing and some holes on the frame, where the rear trailing arm...
