I believe you need like 10-15ish posts to make a thread. Since this is a semi-common issue, I would try and do some searching first before you make a full thread on it. Then you can leave a comment on a semi newish post, check if the op is still active, and include some descriptive information about your issue.
The best way to get your post count up is to leave meaningful comments. Instead of just writing "head gasket" without context on several posts, post in a "what did you do with your t4r today" thread and say you were trouble shooting and diagnosing some head gasket issues. Maybe with a pic of your reservoir with decreasing level over a few miles, or some junk under the radiator cap to give people some better idea of your symptoms. At the very least, try and include a picture of the 4runner as a whole, pictures will show that you care. Also you may have an issue that you have already solved, sharing this can help others and will get the post count up. The forum is cyclical, the more you can help others, the more they will help you.
To answer your head gasket question, I have heard that parts are around $500 for people that do it themselves and it think the dealership bills for 22 hours of labor. So probably 4-5k is a bit high, I would think something in the 3k ballpark is about what people are paying.
