    FS Late 3rd Gen K&N FIPK V6 $60.00 Owasso, Oklahoma

    Slightly used K&N FIPK for '98-'02 V6 Runner. I ended up with this in a trade years ago when the previous owner couldn't get it to work on his Runner. Most major components appear there. Includes the CARB decal and two all important horsepower adding decals. It doesn't look like it was on his...

    How long have you owned your 3rd gen?

    I originally purchased my '97 Limited for my wife in mid 2002. I began driving it daily in 2004, when she inherited her late father's Expedition. Fast forward to 2021. Still driving it on an 80 mile round trip daily commute. Sure we have issues from time to time, but it has been more reliable...

    How solid is your 4Runner? How has it held up?

    I will hit 350k by year's end and mine is showing the normal signs of wear. Peeling clearcoat, cracked leather seats with foam showing in places, a dead power antenna, a sadly cracked dash pad and the other cosmetic issues are part of my daily driver. Good routine maintenance, new lower ball...

    Cost to repair Seat thread holes

    What a timely thread. I have actually pulled the nutsert out of the floorpan recently. I was wondering about drilling all of the way through and know I know it will work nicely. Man, I love this forum.

    Do you plan to restore your 4Runner?

    For the most part, it has been a trouble free ride. Routine maintenance and replacing parts as needed, OEM when possible, especially suspension pieces. A fresh Koyo radiator for insurance and routine timing belt/water pump changes have helped a lot. Did blow a head gasket at 214k or thereabouts...

    Do you plan to restore your 4Runner?

    My old '97 Limited 2WD will hit 350k by the end of the year and I have been considering taking it off daily duty and replacing it with a newer Toyota. I have long joked about driving it until it comes apart like the Bluesmobile at the end of "The Blues Brothers. My son has been on me to redo...

    How many miles on your 4runner?

    Just clicked over to 337,000 this week. Working remotely has kept a few miles off the clock over the last two plus months. Back to normal driving to the office begins tomorrow.

    If you had some more money would you still keep your 3rd gen?

    I'd hang on to it. I have people completely baffled as to why I drive a 22 year old, 319k mile Toyota. I just like it too much to send it down the road. I will most likely drive it until it does a total Bluesmobile on me.
