Had a 2008 fj tt sold because I wanted a true 4door and still be off road worthy. So picked up a 2013 Tacoma 4door off-road, sold because I wanted 4 door + enclosed cargo/trunk space.. 2000 limited 4runner meets all criteria .. With 200+k miles and few scratches and some wear I was pleased with it.. Using it as everyday daily with no more worries about anyone door dinging and scratching paint most of all do some light trails and not worry to much about damages :) .. I really wanted one with the elocker since my fj and Tacoma had it. those are harder to come by.. Maintence and t-belt serviced at 150k.. Always liked this body style

* To do list *
- all fuilds
- tunder brake upgrade
-tansmission cooler mod
-replace motorize antenna
-clock
-pressure washed engine twice and both times engine cuts off driving less then a mile? Turn ignition off and back on, starts as if nothing happened..

Looking forward to learn more from this forum as I start to repair replace worn items and Mod for light trails

So far so good.. Valve cover leaks can't change it till weather gets warmer .. Looking to change up a lot of little things once spring rolls around.. Tundra brake upgrade on the way, new valvle cover gasket kit, spark plug wires/spark plugs, new radiator/b&m trans cooler on order..

Still stumped on where to look when pressure washed the engine it cuts off. Turn ignition off then back on and it starts fine.. Car idles around 600rpm which to me seems low. So use to seeing it around 7-800 every car I've owned..

Looking/reading thru the forum has helped. Any other inputs on what I should look for or change during the preventative maintenance is greatly appreciated.. Currently sitting at 205xxx miles ...
