Solid 2000 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 with current inspection through 11/25. At 323,500 miles, it's not a showpiece, but everything works as it should. Minor dents, dings, and paint chips are present, including a decent-sized dent on the rear hatch. The rear window and sunroof function. Surface rust is...

Thanks for posting pictures of the lift with the old stock tires still on them. I have been wondering what mine will look like if I lift it before I am ready to put tires on it.

My guess is that the guy in the Chevy was talking a lot of trash and was put in his place in a VERY big way. :roadkill:

There are some pretty good trails up there, just outside of Bridgewater. If you are interested in directions, shoot me a PM with your email. I will be up there this weekend. There is a group of us trying to plan a trip for Feb or March. I don't know if we will end up around Harrisonburg or if...

Yep. A 2000 SR5.

If you ever want a hand working on stuff, I am right down the street from you. Hit me up if you need a hand.

You are thinking mostly right. In theory the axle should only move straight up and down. But they don't. Think about all of the issues with the Panhard Bar. When the frame is raised or the axle is lowered, it causes the axle to shift left and right due to the radius of the bar. The also happens...

It is the factory alarm with the security light to the left of the steering wheel. I will check to see if I can find the module for the alarm. Would there be any harm in just removing the module? I will check that out as well. It rained here from Saturday through Tuesday. So the possibility of...

I am bumping an old thread because I have the same issue. For now I have removed the 30A fuse in the knee/kick panel. This prevents the power locks from working all together, including the rear hatch. But also prevents the windows and the sunroof from working.

+4 crossbreed IWB at 4 oclock.

To add to the questions: I know the Limited was the only one with a rear locker. Was it also the only one with the center dif lock on the 2000 model? I have a 2000 SR5 and it doesn't even utilize the same 4wd indicator. It just uses the green indicator in the lower right corner of the dash...

It is sad to hear that. I remember the first time I went up there was with a friend in a stock dakota and we made it through with only hitting once or twice...But that was 8 years or so ago. We have never had issues with property owners but have had issues with the game warden/national forest...

How was Shoe Creek? I haven't been up there in about a year and it was really rutted out after the 2nd and 3rd creek crossings. We normally go up there at least once a year to camp just after the 3rd crossing. Did you go to the left after the 3rd crossing and back towards the humps and slick...

I have the same light bar on mine. I have to leave the lights rolled down while driving on the road. (Stupid Va laws) It also helps reduce the wind noise. If you plan on having to roll them up and down, be sure to put anti seize on the long allen head bolts that come in from the side. The can...

Or when someone asks what you are carrying in the back and you say "nothing". :dammit: Stupid rear sag.
