    Another New 4Runner (autumn metallic)

    man, i dig that color. should be able to hide the dirt well, since it is already dirt colored! :sombrero: i'd say you got a nice, low milage rig, and a lot of guys agree the 99 era runners are very good vehicles.

    Snakes

    that is true the majority of the time, the beer thing and the live and let live thing :D for years, a group of about twenty of us would go down to the deschutes river in oregon and float the river for about 3 days at a time. add hot temps and cool water with lotsa little rodents and you get a...

    Tacoma Topper Recommendations?

    http://www.brandfxbody.com/gemtop-site/Commerc_Prod.html weight may be a concern, they are heavier, but the construction is very solid. i have a friend who has one on his chevy, and it has an integrated rack (essentially two aluminum bars bracketed to the canopies walls) that will hold 1000...

    2001 toyota 4runner -question for those in the know

    first, is it a manual or auto? i replaced the manual in my 3.4l taco at 150,000 miles due to burnt bearings, and it is not all that uncommon to see them go for bad bearings and synchros. i drive about 75% heavy city traffic, so that, some heavy loads and off road use i am sure were...

    Dual batteries on a budget

    care to elaborate a bit? i tried to do a little research, and understand what the diode would do, it essentially would only allow the path of electricity in one direction, so what i'm thinking is your plan would in effect only allow energy to flow from the 2nd battery to the first, so you would...

    OldSven's Tacoma

    it blends very well- though i've noticed, most of if not all front pics of your ride are from the driver side :p so it was hard to get a good look at it. ever had any issues with it getting whacked by debris? i am contemplating moving mine, but looking for good locations

    little off topic man, but having scanned your build thread, i'm trying to find out what you did with your washer fluid bottle, looks like you moved it from its stock location, but where and what did you use?? got any pics?

    Tacoma spare parts list

    while it is nice to think green, one reason i bought an aftermarket filter, i have heard bad things about k&n filters. 1. the oil used to coat the filter has a tendency to foul the maf if the filter is over-oiled, which i understand is not hard to do. 2. the k&n's have been said to give poor...

    Oil Filter question.

    that's cool man, i wanted to bump this thread earlier, so i thank you anyway. i was going to add, i went with a PL20195 purolator filter for a jeep liberty on my 3.4l tacoma, it is longer by almost double, putting oil capacity to an even 6 quarts. coupled with mobil 1, i think it has made a...

    Greetings to all, and a 4Runner Question.

    i can tell you as a former 92 4runner w/ a 3.0 (aka 3-slow) owner, those summer numbers are close to what i typically got in mine w/ a 5 speed. factor in an auto with a 130ish hp dog of an engine, and that will explain those summer numbers. as for winter, could be ethanol infused gas and cold...

    On a cold winters day....A New Life is Born!

    i'm impressed at how many miles you got out of your bfg's, i'm at 60k and they are just about done. i'm going with bighorns as well, seem to be a very popular tire, and seemingly well deserved. still want to see some full profile pics of your rig!!

    Costco Tire Sale

    yah, i've gotten a lot of conflicting reports, but when i was in there getting my 31's put on my taco three years ago, there was some girl getting 33's put on her f 250, and this was at the original costco in kirkland, they seemed to have no problem then.

    yah, we may be relocating to san diego in a short while, when that happens, i'll be spending more time around there for sure. it's a hell of a compliment from you to say my taco looks like your runner, i need to throw some stuff on mine. getting married in may, so funds for that and a slow...

    Seattle to Anza Borrego and Back

    For about 50 years now, my fiance's grandparents and their friends (affectionately known as "The Sixa-Packa Tribe, Coors Chapter") have been traipsing all over the U.S. and beyond. One of their annual trips has been to Anza Borrego Desert State Park, and Lynna, my fiance, has been going since...
