Hey Everyone,
I purchased my first SUV last fall. A 2001 4Runner with lots of miles on it. I chose a 4Runner because of all the talk about the integrity of these vehicles, low maintenance, their capabilties, etc. And,, I needed a reliable 4 wheel drive to get up North safely in Michigan and hit the two tracks.
This is also my first foreign vehicle. Growing up in the Motor City, I always bought American. For lots of different reasons, I chose a foreign vehicle to see what all the hoopla was about,, and to just try one. I'll be joining in on these threads in the future to share information about my 4Runner and to tap all the fantastic knowledge that exists here. Kudos to all of you that share this knowledge,,, and so willingly I might add. I'm impressed.
I do have some issues already with my 4Runner though, and hope someone can help me. My particular model, the SR5, did not come with Sun Visors that extend over to the end of the window to block the sun. Although, I read that they were an option somewhere. This a a creature feature I felt the Japanese should have just standardized in these vehicles. I searched all the threads here to try and resolve this to no avail. I need to replace these Sun Visors with ones that have Sliders built in, or slide along the shaft that supports them. Has anyone here replaced theirs with the more functional style?
