Replaced my '97 4Runner with this '04 Sport Edition V8. I don't do any off-roading so for looks I installed the Daystar 2.5/1.5 to level it out. Here are a couple of pics....first the '04 then my old '97.
Here's my other ride, saved for the sunny days!
Great truck, welcome to the forum! Now, sell me that scooped hood! Or trade it for my non-scooped silver hood + cash!
Nice! Makes me think of my E46 M3 days. DCT or 6 speed?
Thanks! But I love the scooped hood!
Hey, its a DCT. I had an '06 E46 SMG before I got the new one.
GREAT car, probably last of the NA motors before they go turbo for the next one. Tell you the truth though, it is a little gutless in every day life. 295 ft-lbs at astronomical revs doesn't cut it for me so I went back to AMG and couldn't be happier. Also, I had the 6 speed and it was actually a pretty poor tranny contrary to popular belief. I did the CDV-delete and it still was sub-par with the throws and feel.

Yeah the torque isn't the greatest, but I love high revving engines and the M3 is a screamer!
That car is the perfect track weapon.
Here is what I replaced the M3 with. Point and squirt and 911s go backwards from the light!
