Just a quick hello from a new member here in sunny Portland Oregon. Long time lurker first time poster. Thank you to the community for the great information and conversation. Invaluable to me and my little 5th gen, Frank.

Like a lot of us here...long time lurker now member. Just building the 4runner to fit my lifestyle and needs more.

Hey everyone, finally decided to start up an account! I just got a 99 limited with 303k miles, upgrading from an older/rustier 97...

Since I wouldn't ever drive the FJ60 in MN winters with salted roads, I sold it and picked up a 2019 TRD ORP (+KDSS, +Sunroof) earlier this month.

Initial safety mods will be:

• Replacing the absolutely sh***y OEM Dunlop Grandtrek AT20 tires. Blizzak DM-V2 tires, TPMS, and 2nd set of wheels ordered today for dedicated winters. Will replace the Dunlops with K02s come spring time. I'm appalled that Toyota would sell a TRD ORP 4Runner with such crappy OEM tires - I guess they got a terrific bulk price on them.
• Upgraded headlights and foglights
• Front bumper upgrade. I had an ARB on my FJ60 and hit a ~125+ pound doe at 70mph (jumped out from the roadside less than 20 feet in front of me in the middle of Nowhere, NB). The ARB headlight loop was tweaked about 1/4" but that was the extent of the damage and I drove the rest of the way to MN that night.

Next up would be all weather floor and cargo area liners.

After that, we'll see what bubbles to the top of the wants list.

Hey everyone! Today I got my first 4Runner, I've always been into sports cars and European but I decided to get something more practical for now and focus on my career. This is the first time I've ever owned a Toyota or an SUV. The car is a 2002 it has 167K miles it has a few quirks but not bad considering it is an almost 20 year old truck.
I put a decent amount of miles on it seems to be great on gas and extremely comfortable I'm loving it so far! But I have a few questions.

1. The rear window will not operate from inside the cabin, I made sure the window lock is off but still nothing, when I use the key in the rear hatch it operates up and down with no issues, any ideas where to look?

2. The bumpers have clear coat peeling it's not horrendous but it bothers me, the fenders have slight sun damage as well surprisingly the rest is rather clean and shiny, going to give it a good wax tomorrow. But for the peeling clear do I need to get these resprayed? Or should I wet sand the clear coat and spray clear myself?

3. I couldnt really tell from the test drive but the more I'm driving it, it does kind of feel bouncy, thinking maybe the springs are sagging or the shocks, probably both? I checked lower ball joints they dont look bad but I'll probably swap them just to be safe at the same time.

4. The key fob for the unlock and lock does not work going to try a new battery but worst comes to worst anyone know how much a new one is from the factory or is it a potentially a problem with the vehicle itself?

5. Just drove it at night and found out the center console AC and radio have no lights, but they do both work just no illumination, wiring problems or dead bulbs?

new member here from Ohio. Just picked up a 07 SR5. Starting to read through all the information and looking forward to improving my ride over stock.

going to be looking for some initial things if anyone wants to drop my a line - going to be shopping for the rear left and right headrests that the PO decided was a good thing to take out and loose. Looking to replace my passenger headlight as its not sealed and has condensation. Looking at picking up roof rails. and the big one is shopping for some new wheels & tires as the factory wheels are pitted and peeling badly.

I’m just trying to find out if some 98 Toyota Tacoma total chaos upper control arms will fit a 98 4Runner.
