Bought me a Y2K 3rd Gen 4Runner today!

not Extend a Fenders

those are Sport or some people say Highlander model flares. Definitely not painted Bushwackers. Look very nice in body color-nice find.

Limited flares as noted above fit the rear door differently because of the body side cladding on a true Limited.

We'll have you modding in no time....

Thanks all! Im really having a blast checking out all the 3rd gens in here. There are some nice ones. I feel lucky to have found one with good miles. Here is my old 4th gen. Good vehicle but pretty soul-less and boring.

Nice Runner!!! Great find! Stands out from the rest. I see you are a
4Runner/Bimmer owner too! Any plans for mods on the Runner? Since you use your BMW for daily driving I'm assuming you are keeping that one stock?

The flares are factory. I have the same on my 01 sr5

My '97 SR5 came with the same wood grain dash. It was offered as an option on the SR5s and it's "stick on".

Thanks! I really think the Runner is erfect as it is. I plan to keep it stock and mint for years to come. I will only put 10K a yr on it at most. The BMW only has 30K and was a CPO so it has a lot of warranty left so I see it staying stock. All Im onna do on the BMW is 35% tint all around and on the 4Runne possobly go to BFG AT KOs in 265/75/16 after the 265/70 GY Silent Armors wear out. I bet your M5 is a blast!

Good looking truck man, I love that color too. Good luck keeping your wallet fat after you mod it for the first time. I never thought I'd mod my 4R - now I've got thousands of dollars into it. Definitely a rewarding hobby though. Welcome to the boards

I hear ya. I sold my previous daily driver ('92 Toyota pickup). It was supposed to be a going to Lowes, yard/garage cleanup hauler etc. Ended up lifting it, adding 33's, changing bumpers etc. MPG was strained but I loved the truck. I don't plan on lifting my Runner, but I do have some accessories currently in-transit...:jump: I will also be swapping out my tires for BFG's as well next week. Mine came with Toyo's on it and I hate them. No good for the snow we just had. I say I won't be adding other things, but that's what I said about the truck! HA! Plus, it's hard when you see so many tastefully modded Runners on this board!
Oh yeah...I love the M5! Been into Bimmers for years and I think the M5 is a keeper even if I get another later. Too much money wrapped up in it. Tint will look really nice on yours. Love the color.

Enjoy your Runner and Bimmer! The best of both worlds! :driving:

Nice rides! Very clean looking T4R. The woodgrain really caught my attention though. Never seen it before.

Well, the first day I drive it home from work and it was in 4wd. Slush and snow covered roads. Did just fine. Kind of a crash course in finding out how to use all the stuff. Wipers, defrost, rear wiper, rear defrost, washer fluid etc. Had to use it all the first time driving it home. Sat in the parking lot for a bit just to make sure I knew where everything was! Its was soooo clean now covered in snow and salt. Boooo!
