    PowerStop drilled and slotted rotors

    Ordered these a while back and when I finally got around to installing them, found out they were the wrong size. I have a 96 limited with 16" wheels. my rotor measures 12.5" in dia. and these rotors measure 11.7" (which i am guessing is for the Sr5 runners.) Like new condition, buyer will be...

    Need Help Picking Rims

    I think the Cepek's would look best on your truck. I think the others look a bit tacky.

    How much did you pay for your 3rd gen?

    I have the same truck minus 6disc changer radio. 96' limited, bought it in June of 07 w/211k on the clock, paid $4000. The truck hadn't seen dirt until I bought it, so it was in near immaculate shape. Good deal, I think. I plan on keeping the truck for a long time.

    Really, its not bad at all. The hardest part is switching back and forth between driving the 4runner and my 94 Evo II wich is RHD. Its the turn signals and wipers being opposite that really screws you up.

    FINALLY joined the 285/75 club

    That a great deal on a great tire. I know they are in the $190per tire range and I have nothing but good things to say about them.

    The 4runner was, in my opinion, the best vehicle out of the bunch. I have some vidioes of them trying to climb a hill that I powered up my first time. The hill was similar to the one I was having troble with in Florida a few months back, but this hill was steeper and a little more technical. It...

    what should i do with my fenders?

    I gave you 1 vote to paint them black. I like to paint because it is cheap and easy, plus a fresh coat of paint always looks the bizz. And you don't have to paint them black, you could use a speckled gunmetal color like I used on my wheels. I think that would look pretty trick. I always like to...

    Off road in the UK

    The day went well. We all had a blast and only one of us had any real damage. Here is one of me working on the truck at 5 in the morning. The clock on the camera is still on east cost time, if there was any confusion about that. And I am pretty sure it was below 0*F... ya. 1 4runner, minus...

    starter contacts

    I am having a starting prob but not sure if it is the same deal. Some times when I turn the key, I don't get anything, no click or nuthin. I never had this problem until I shiped the truck to England. One auto electican mentioned there could be a sensor in the trans and if it wasn't fully in...
