Good Gaaawwwddd your pics are awesome! I would love to 'adventure' with you. There seems to be no repair you and your crew can not overcome. Awesome trip report...well except for your front diff. Have you determined what caused the damage? Would hitting that dip at speed cause that? Also, have...

Awesome. Thanks. Yeah I priced OEM...holy crap. I guess that's why mine are original...18 years later, and mostly working. It's only when it gets cold or if the glass is down, that they sag. Were they a direct fit? Do they work well?

I didn't know Dollar Tree sold Konig wheels...:ylsmoke: Not a drastic change (cause I liked your blacked out FJ wheels), but I really like the new wheels, and I like the TRD center caps. Your 4runner looks better every time I check in. Glad to hear you are enjoying your 4runner more and more...

BTW, I used east coast gear supply for my regear, and couldn't be happier. Quick shipment. Complete 3rd member and front clamshell showed up looking as new. Return shipping was super easy. And 5 year warranty. I very highly recommend them. Good luck Durwin

Welcome to the forum, and great choice of vehicle. I will chime in with my experience...free of charge:sombrero: I have owned my 99 base model 4cyl 5spd 3rd gen for 3 years, and love it. I have owned several other Toyota's, and this one has become my favorite. Its the perfect size...

Very well thought out roof rack. I like the way you attached rails to RTT and then they bolt to the rack...smart. It looks at home on top of your 4runner. I'm sure that will make camping a little more comfortable.:sombrero: Nice job. Durwin

Another 3rd gen... 1. Year, color, options, etc... 1999, Silver, base model, 5spd, 2.7l 4 cylinder (3RZ) 2. Name of owner/screen name/truck name...Durwin, Owyheerat 3. How long have you owned your 3rd Gen? How many have you owned? 4 years. This my 2nd 3rd gen, but 1st and only vehicle i have...

I really like the Level 8 MK6 wheels also. What color? Black? What does the -10 offset equal in backspace inches?

Hi Renegade, In case you hadn't seen this one, it might be an option if you decide to go flat (rack). http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/138019-A-Wilson013-s-1999-4Runner/page2?highlight=A.Wilson013 Good luck with your decision. Sorry to hear of more maintenance issues. Mods are fun...

@Renegade_Medic, thanks for the update and the paint info. Sorry to hear about ongoing maintenance items. Once again, I think your 4runner looks great. I like the all tan with black wheels. I definitely think your 4runner is an Expo rig. Keep updating this thread....please? :sombrero: Durwin

Amazing pics!!! And even better trip report. As others have said, you are a natural story teller. Very well done! Thanks for taking the time to post your adventures. Durwin

@Renegade_Medic, Nice 4runner. I read your post in 3rd gen registry. I really like the new paint. Can you please give some details? Thanks Durwin

AxleIke, can you give an update? Did you get the leak fixed? Are you still happy with the gearing of your dual case? I think I'm going to take advantage of Low range offroad black friday sale, and order an Inchworm assembled dual...

You are living the dream man! Well at least my dream... Congrats to you. I hope to some day do something very similar. Nice choice of expo rig too. Be safe and keep this thread updated. I'm living vicariously thru you. Durwin

Can you explain, 'stock gears in transfer case'? I thought there were only 2 options; 2.28 and 4.7 gears. I'm talking about gears in 'dual' case. Did you buy a 'built' dual case, or did you buy a kit and assemble yourself? Keep us updated on leak. I can't stand them either. Thanks Durwin

Thanks for all the info, it helps a lot. Do you know anything about Inchworm? Would they be a good / better option? Do you have 2.28 or 4.7 gears? Has this mod caused any problems with your vehicle? Have you broken CV's or any other parts? Durwin

Thanks. Yes that all makes sense. Who did you get your lower control arms from? Would you recommend them? Also, do you mind sharing how much it cost to have your drive lines modified? Did you have them balanced? Durwin

Very nicely built 4runner. I like all the mods you have done. Can you 'school' me on dual cases? Are you happy with your set-up? I am considering this mod on my 99 4runner, and have just started looking at the Marlin Crawler Taco Box set up. Is this similar to what you have? Also, can you...

Glad the little 2.7l got you there and back. I have the same engine in a 99 4runner, and I agree it's underpowered, but I love the fuel economy and how easy it is to work on...(if necessary). It seems to be built like a Timex...just keeps on ticking. Also, my engine is a bit noisy. Sounds like...

"Pepe" My little mule.... I love the name of your build...I believe its from the movie 'Romancing the stone'? Very nice truck too...
