    97 Limited - Reupholster the seats or replace them?

    We did Lseat covers (not a perfect match in color but I've grown to actually prefer how they stand out) and added aftermarket dual temp long seat heaters. Better than any stock heaters I've ever had. We had a set from our SR5 and lower mileage limited - so made a best set of manual seats to go...

    Will you keep your 4runner if gas hits $8 a gallon?

    Your 2uz doesn't require premium and you're just making it run worse (unless they changed something between 01 and 04). Run the lowest octane without pinging and if it doesn't recommend premium, it's a waste. Our 2011 does require premium.... and to add to the thread.... we are considering...

    2001 Limited 5-Speed Manual Swap

    When I cut mine on my 97 limited it was even worse than what y'all are dealing with. A previous owner had run wiring for an amp but for some reason drilled an almost 1" hole for it. It was right where i needed the CMC to mount and offset. Luckily I was able to cut it out but not the way you...

    Steering wheel and other hard to find parts

    I don't like sharing my secrets but there's so many T4Rs... Car-part.com is an online national junkyard search database. Lots of options to search through and most provide photos.

    01 Heated seat retrofit question

    I don't know about the 2001... But I can tell you, without a doubt, the body harness for a 97 limited is not the same as the body harness of a 1997 SR5. If you want heated seats, go with an aftermarket set, it will probably be easier overall. We threw some dual temp KBD heaters when we redid...

    What other “cool” vehicles do you own or have owned?

    1st drive in snow with '01 Limited

    You may want to.define better what you mean by #1.... the terms transfercase and center differential are pretty squishy when it comes to land cruisers. All Fj60 and prior had a true 4wd transfercase and manual locking hubs in the front, even if they were vacuum chamber controlled for "front...

    45 minute timing belt ?

    I haven't done the job enough on a 5vzfe to get it down in time personally, and I probably never will. My point is that for those who know where every bolt is, and size, best way to reach them, and there aren't any odd seizing issues, it's plausible it could be done. The MR2 was an example of...

    1st drive in snow with '01 Limited

    I find this thread entertaining, especially coming from the land cruiser world. Why does that matter, you ask? In 1987 you could buy a landcruiser with a manual transmission and a 4wd selectable transfercase. In 1988 that option was partially gone - being automatic only and a high/low with...

    45 minute timing belt ?

    With an air lift type tool it's a 5 min procedure.... I think I had a total of about 4 hours into my first one (2nd doesn't count as it was on an engine stand). If I were to do it again and again I could probably get it down to an hour and a half to an hour- and I'm not a professional...

    LSeat sea covers and KBD heated seats - 97 LimitedSR5

    I wanted to provide a photo and some thoughts on the Lseat seat covers. I labelled the thread LimitedSR5 because ours is a combination of these. The seats are no different, I guess. The seats are manual seats from a 97 SR5, in our 97 Limited. However the seat bottom for the driver is...

    LX 450 seats in a 3rd Gen

    You could offer a $20 tip if they can lift it with a forklift for you to get the suspension out, that you'll buy as well obviously.

    LX 450 seats in a 3rd Gen

    $100 is a good deal for clean 80 seats... the 80 is quite a bit bigger so wouldn't think they'll fit all that well. You could pick them up and sell them to find new covers
