I have a 1999 Toyota 4Runner limited. I am the 3rd owner. My family only drives Toyota's because of there reliability. When I got my 4Runner i fell in love with it immediately!! I got it at 180,000 miles for $4,500. It has never had any problems except for an oil leak (last owners fault). It has minor hail damage and a tear in the leather on the side of the drivers side seat.

Recently the air conditioning unit had been messing up so i got it checked out. Apparently there is an issue with most automatic air conditioning units in suv's that were there board gets warped due to heat. So i found a new unit from a savage yard in okc. I paid for it and they said i would receive a email saying it had been shipped. After a couple of days i still never got a conformation email from them. So i called and they had no record of it. Apparently the guy I talked too did work for them but took my money and quiet. They said they were sorry and refunded me my money. So after not being able to find one, i found a place that repairs them for under a $100. It works perfectly now and i cant be any happier.

Welcome to the forum! and may i be the first to say that you have a nice lookin truck! good luck with all of your future mods!
 
So there i am entering a intersection and i look to my right and see a friend i know. I look up and I see a lawn truck 2 feet out of the intersection at a complete stop. I braked as fast as I could but i couldn't stop all the way and i hit him. Apparently the lady two cars in front of him was trying to turn into a gas station with 2 full lanes of traffic in the way. The lady behind her stopped late and so did the guy behind her. I swear some people shouldn't be aloud to drive.

Thankfully he had a tail hitch which hit my reinforcement bar and stopped my car with minimum damage to the eye..

It was the deck plate mod.

And thanks, I had a bit of trouble hitting the metal frame back into place though.

Dude nice work! How's the remote start install?
Hit and run? Any worries you will be caught? Haha jk that sucks! Maybe you can get some upgrades if u insurance the problem and do it yourself with your mechanical skills!

Post more pic of how the light bar mounts to the vehicle!?!?

Thanks! The remote start was a pain.. couldn't get it to work.. finally took it in and found out i had a bad brain that wasn't working right.

yeah it sucks but i plan on just getting the dent popped out. the repair cost were almost $3,000
 
Yeah but I edited my post while u were replying to mine. How did you mount the light bar?
Is it a china one? How much? How does the full flood one look? I would want a combo. But would love a flood

I mounted it to the side of my car behind the rubber seal when you open the door.

I got mine from okledlightbars.com
$362

I love it when im driving down trails cause it shines very wide and very high.

Im gunna put a 20 inch spot light one in my grill soon!
