1 Attachment(s)
Hello guys. I recently sold my 1998 Tacoma Xtra cab 4WD and purchased this 3rd gen 4Runner Limited 4WD and I am new to this forum.
To do list: -Use JDM engine x -Replace steering wheel x -Replace front seat cover x -New radiator x -New tires x -New rims x -New heater core x -New front window x -New coilovers x -Reverse camera |

Curious, what was the motivation for the switch? I'd likely be in a Tacoma if I didn't have two little ones... |

Good luck with the new rig.
Replacing the heater core is - by far - the most PITA job I’ve done on the 4Runner. Total dash removal required. |

New suspension for the 4Runner 😀

While you're in there, get the Lower ball joints knocked out too. Between those (and their bolts) and the radiator, you're addressing the biggest issues that can stop you in your tracks.
And from personal experience, doing all the control arm bushings makes a MASSIVE difference in ride quality. Good luck with your new ride. |

1999 4Runner "Must Do" List
It's now 2024, and I also just purchased a '99 4Runner Limited. I had the timing belt/water pump replaced as there was no history on it. The front wheel bearings were bad, and according to the mechanic, seized into the knuckles. He replaced the entire spindle assembly. The rear differential carrier bearings are going, and so that will be rebuilt. The heater blend door Bowden cable is seizing...still working on what to do about that. I also had the radiator replaced. Shocks and bushings will be replaced when the rear differential is rebuilt. It has 248k miles on it. What else should I be worried about?

Those go and could destroy all of the work you’ve already done. Easy swap, shouldn’t take more than an hour. |
