Up to date details can be found at http://wwww.blankwhitepage.com/automotive/2000-toyota-4runner After over 2 years of looking I finally purchased a 3rd gen 4runner to replace my 96 Jeep ZJ. 2000 4runner Sport 5 speed 84k miles Black w/ gray interior Moonroof I really can't stand beige...

Great, thanks for the update. I'm going to be in the South Bay quite a bit over the holidays so we can schedule a pick up. - Matt

No relation to the seller, just thought it sounded like an interesting rig. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/ctd/951162535.html

I'd be in for 2 if you get an order going. I'm in Los Altos quite often so could stop by to pick them up. - Matt

Where is the 5th speaker mounted in the truck? I'm late to the party in replying, but as others have said it could be cross-talk from a power wire. If you can find anywhere that the speaker wire runs parallel to a power wire you should re-route it to cross at as close to a 90 degree angle as...

I ran across this on craigslist and thought someone might be interested, only 77k. (no relation to seller) "I HAVE A 94 MONTERO SR 4X4 WITH LEATHER CD CHANGER ETC WITH ONLY 76,900 MILES ON IT, IT HAS HAD A MAJOR SERVICE THAT I CAN SHOW INCLUDING TIMING BELT WATER PUMP TENSIONER SEALS TRANS...

Thanks for all the input, you've made me feel much more comfortable considering higher mileage trucks. Now the only problem is that the 160k rig is out of the state and I have no time in the next week or so to check it out. :) Oh well, it seems more and more 5spds with e-lockers are up for sale...

Thanks to everyone for the replies. BigAl, my ZJ has the 318. The engine and transmission are in good shape, the problems have been with more minor parts. Here's a quick list of somewhat recent issues: - A/C compressor seized on the way back 2 offroading trips ago. Estimate is $1100 to replace...

I'm in the market for a 1999/2000 4runner with a manual transmission to replace my 96 Grand Cherokee which is at the age where it requires nearly constant repairs. 3rd gen 4runners with the manual and e-locker are few and far between, and that coupled with the fact that I really can't stand...

These are currently on sale for $90/each at Kragen in San Francisco.

A few years ago I built a setup to air up two tires at once, it's basically a 4-way tee with the air input on one side, gauge on top, and hoses on each side with clamp on schrader connectors. It also works great for airing down, I just open the valve and check the gauge sporadically. I also have...

The tire size you can fit is going to depend on lift, wheel backspacing, and if you are willing to trim your fenders. Teraflex has a decent chart: http://www.trailquest.com/teraflex/teraflex_tire.shtml I agree with "97 zj steve" that a 30" tire is about as large as you would want to run stock...

From the Escalante area and also Canyonlands. Sorry for the somewhat large file sizes. - Matt

The green one sold this morning. Darn.

A friend and I bought 12v Puma compressors about 5 years ago and have had zero problems with them. They put out a good amount of air and have been very reliable. At one point I "raced" my Puma against the MV50 from Kragen and several other similar compressors and the Puma was quite a bit...

I've used the Coleman kitchen from Costco for two years now. It is holding up well so far and definitely makes cooking easier. I doubt it will be a "lifelong" part of my gear, but if I get 5 years out of it I'll be happy. - Matt

One shop I talked to is having several 300tdis delivered, some are new and some are used, prices range from ~$3500 to $6000+. He claims that the 300tdi engine was federalized at some point in the US, but I have not seen proof of this yet. So, I will definitely be taking this all with a huge...

First off, thanks to everyone for their replies, the input is greatly appreciated. Overall it sounds like my assumptions were mostly on track, but that my goal of 18mpg on the freeway is likely unrealistic. On other forums I have read people report getting 18-20mpg on the freeway, but those...

I've been wanting to change to a different truck for a while now, and after casually researching the Discovery I for a month or so it seems like a reasonable choice. After thinking about this for a while I figured I'd post my reasoning and get some expert opinions, and I have to admit that after...

IPF 968's. The dual reflector design works great when crawling on dark trails and also when driving home at night, they really light up the road well. - Matt
