Minor point: it’s either China or Taiwan, not Japan. Cool video, though.

Quick question, if you don't mind: who did your bumper install? I'm guessing you're in San Francisco, and I'm trying to figure out where to have mine done.

Man, I was wondering if that truck would show up here. I sort of know the owner but had no idea he had a 4Runner. When he told me he was selling it with only 90k miles I told him I wanted to store it until I ran my current one into the ground. Glad it's going to someone who really appreciates it!

In for a 48" black set. Thanks.

Nice. A ton of 3rd gens in San Francisco, especially on the west side. Are you in the Sunset?

Just as an FYI, if you have Amazon Prime it's $866 with free shipping. Not as cheap as used but the free shipping should help.

Are you in San Francisco? If so I'd suggest Waylon at The Toy Shop on Geary. I know about four Toyota Tacoma/4Runner owners and we wouldn't take our trucks anywhere else. I've had Waylon and his guys check my 99 model out from top to bottom. Also had them install shocks and springs, replace...

Just a heads-up...car break-ins are up 3x in San Francisco right now. It's an epidemic. If you drive into the city, don't leave anything inside your 4Runner--and I mean anything. Particularly in touristy areas. If you keep that in mind, you won't have a problem no matter where you go. I would...

Give The Toy Shop in San Francisco a call. Waylan and his guys just installed my Toytec OME lift kit and did a great job. They're on Geary at 12th. Bear in mind you have to make an appointment 2 weeks in advance. But it's worth the wait. I've also had him replace my radiator and my upper and...

This is the stuff: Rocco & Roxie Professional Strength Stain & Odor Eliminator. If you can't get this stuff, get Nature's Miracle from the pet store. White bottle with red lettering.

Forgot to mention: the upper and lower ball joints were replaced about a month ago. One of the tie rods was a little loose but my shop didn't have a replacement, and the mechanic said I had time if it was going to become a problem. That too is getting fixed at the appointment. Thanks for the...

Hi all, First, a some background. I’m a long time lurker. I bought a 1999 4Runner SR5 in July and love it to death. The vehicle had a single owner and about 187,000 miles on it. I’m taking my 4Runner into the shop to get some work done, but there’s a 2.5 week wait. I’ve decided that since it’s...
