hey peter, steve and ben. Thanks for the responses. I was thinking like all of you, in that what else has been neglected.? However, should all else be perfect i'm glad to know that no damage due to old timing belt has occurred. thanks again!! Eric

Hi i'm about to buy my first toyota/4Runner/SUV (can i get a round of applause?) But i'm looking at this '04 Sport V8 with 120k miles but no timing belt change yet. I know they're recommended at 90k, so should i avoid this truck (its a great deal at about $10k)? Basically, how much harm has...

4th gen 4R w/120k mi and no timing belt change, bad idea? Hi i'm about to buy my first toyota/4Runner/SUV (can i get a round of applause?) But i'm looking at this '04 Sport V8 with 120k miles but no timing belt change yet. I know they're recommended at 90k, so should i avoid this truck (its a...

Well thanks to all for the great advice!! I feel much more informed about these systems (couldn't find much when i searched the forums). It seems like these two serve specific purposes but with most advanced features they can just be another thing to go wrong. For our use, it appears that we...

hey, thanks for the info guys! Both seem like a great option but certainly not a necessity. Do either of you know about common issues with either option (will i have to be concerned about added cost/time with either of the two)? thanks again!

Hi (another noob question), I'm about to buy a used 2003-2006 4runner, kind of whatever i can get my hands on for a good price. But i've been reading about the Xreas system and also the rear air suspension. While I know i probably won't be using the vehicle for serious off roading, i'd still...

oh ok, thanks Specialized. I'm glad to hear that even with a few issues your still happy with your 4Runner!

Ok thanks MikesToy, but are you talking about the pricing on a new 4R? We're looking from '03-'06. BTW, i see your in the springs too. When are you looking to sell your 4R?

Ya, that scoop does look good. And thanks for the tip about the v6 engine! This is great, any other help out there?

thats great info thanks! Ya, we definitely want the 4wd. I was specifically wondering if the v6 is powerful enough to haul up through mountain passes or if we should go with the v8 (but maybe many of you really like being able to go 2WD, so stick with the 6 cyl). That service interval info is...

Hi (yes i'm a noob (as i shake my head in shame)), I'm about to buy a used 4th gen 4R and i need some help on what to look for, like: - are there some "options/packages" we won't be able to live without -what maintenance should be done at 50kmi, 75k and 100k -anything else that'll help this...
