...for a truly superb forum. I'm a new member and owner in Metro Atlanta. I'm selling my '02 Xterra and just bought an '07 T4R Sport 4x4 with 96k miles.

I joined the Xterra Owners Club forum in 2000 and have been on it, Club Xterra and others for all these years so I know and deeply appreciate how useful a strong owners' forum can be. That's why I uttered a heartfelt "Hell, yeah..." when I found this one.

There were a couple of issues when we bought the 4Runner a couple of weeks ago, one of them huge: the 4WD wouldn't engage. Thanks to T4R.org, I was up on what the causes might be, understood what the dealer was talking about when he called back and said they were replacing the 4WD actuator, and knew what a massive bullet we had dodged by getting that fixed.

On the drive home from picking it up, we noticed the rear wiper wouldn't turn on and half the multifunction display was dark. Those were on me because I forgot to check the wiper and had only driven the truck in the daytime. I told my wife not to worry 'cause I knew where to find the answers. Got on here and searched, then tried rolling the rear window all the way up. Yep, that was the trouble with the wiper and I've already changed out both bulbs behind the MFD.

The pride everyone here has in their trucks and this site is very evident and the knowledge and insight shared is much appreciated. Glad to be here.

Hey, [MENTION=114846]Bluesky 07[/MENTION], welcome to our club!! I too came from the Xterra owners club forum, after purchasing my 4th gen Runner. I loved my 2000 Xterra, but was not impressed with the lack of power. Different story with my Runner. I'm sure you know what I am talking about!

From this:

Anyway, looking forward to talking to you in the 4th gen sub-forum and seeing what you do with your Runner!
 
Hey Preacher, thanks for the note and sorry for the delay in responding. I've been away.

You're right about the power. The X, a great truck, would have been so much better with another 60 or 70 horses. I also made a mistake in not getting a 4x4 Xterra and made sure not to repeat that error with the 4Runner.

The mods to my X were pretty minor and focused on appearance and everyday use, stuff like upgrading the sound, painting the trim and tinting the driver and passenger windows. It will be the same with the 4Runner. I enjoy off-roading but it isn't serious enough or frequent enough to warrant the mods you have (which look great btw).

It's great to have found such a great forum. Makes owning a 4Runner an even more pleasant experience.

Yeah, if you liked the Xterra forum, you're going to LOVE IT HERE! Looking forward to see what you do with your Runner.
 
Like everyone else, I agree also, this is a great forum. Tons of great information. Thanks T4R.ORG
