Good to see someone not afraid to try! Like seeing some initiative and "I wonder what would happen if I..." Makes for some interesting reads.

I stole it! Actually paid $6K, drove it for 3 years, and had it totaled out for $5900. Money well spent! Bought an 06 Sequoia to replace it.

Be nice to see some pics of night action in T4Rs. How about showing pics all lit up at night? Whether in the driveway of out in the wild, it's bound to look good!

Guys, Saw a guy with a GX 470 that had used an 03 Runner hitch, mainly because it fit perfectly into the "notch" on the back bumper. I believe Toyota changed the hitches after a couple of years, so trying to find on '03 model, or another year KNOWN to be the same. No heavy rust please, but I...

Nice '97 That guy buys a lot of 4runners, usually pretty good about getting the better ones. I think he gets most of them from auctions, but I know some have come from individuals. Pretty honest from the few times I've talked with him.

Got gas A couple of places on East Brainerd Rd, one at the corner of Gunbarrel and one beside the AutoZone.

Antennae Doc2012: Did you remove the old ant. from the fender when you added the window mount? I would love to remove mine but can't decide how to fill the hole without repainting. Also, where exactly did you mount the new one from Crutchfield? Thanks, the Wandering One

Trade truck for a 4runner? I did, and it was a 4WD extended cab Tacoma which I bought new back in '98. Found a '98 4runner that I couldn't say no to, and I have not driven my truck in 10 months now. Guess it's time to sell it! Dry storage space, extra seating, and my trailer is 6-1/2' X...

headlight advice I used to buff mine out and they'd look great for a few months. I tried some stuff sold at all Ace Hardwares that a Chattanooga inventor came up with, and the difference is a spray in the kit that is actually a clear coat/hardener/finish/ something or the other. Works for...

new wheels and tires Nothing says LOVE like new tires. Am I the only one who walks through the tire section of stores just to catch that "new rubber" smell?:whoo: Otherwise, I'm pretty much normal. And I did throw new Michelins on my 4runner as well as my utility trailer last week. You'd think...

WTB: 3rd Gen Small world. Letting you guys know that I'm selling some 4runner parts on CL tonight/tomorrow. Two of the 5 star wheels plus a standard factory steel wheel with 265/70/16 new tire. If he finds a 4runner that needs those, I'll give you 1st shot. I've been watching CL for a good...

My tow strap!

Buying used tires For age, use the 4 number DOT code on the sidewall: First 2 numbers show the week made, then the last two show the year made. Example: 1610 means week 16 of the year 2010. Nothing over 6 years old should hit the ground on any roads; their words, not mine.

Going-with-the Flow-master Is this a single or dual? Does someone need better-than-factory exhaust for this muffler to take effect? I'd hate to drop $$ in it and not hear/feel a difference.

Treated it to something special! Found a set of Limited 5 stars WITH Geolanders showing good tread for $250 ! Last week found a factory built auto trans with new torque converter that some guy wanted out of his garage---for $350 !! My wife wonders why I bought this since my tranny is fine, but...
