element 20mpg on the highway, with those tires. I have a set of honda pilot alloys with 235/70/16 GY integrity's for highway or for times when I'm not in the snow or exploring. Bumps mileage up to 22.5 or so. Josh

Element AWD, yep. Front wheel drive until the wheels slip, then it switches to AWD automatically. Not much in the way of ground clearance stock. Mine is actually pretty rare since it's a 5 spd manual. Most were sold as AT's. :smiley_drive:

Element Camper Wow, pretty pricey for a stock Element w/an ecamper addition. Hell you could have mine for half that, with no ecamper but a lot of custom one off parts. Sporting a 2.5" custom lift. Actually I need to put a for sale thread together in the next month or so to fund my search for a...

Neither, they are a push rod 4cyl that is laid on it's side if memory serves me correctly (usually doesn't):sombrero: Josh

4wd toyota van I owned one for about three years, sold it with 185k on it. Motors run forever, but are a PIA to work on. The hot ticketr are the 5 speed manual ones, they have 2 speed transfer case as opposed to the AT ones that only have a button on the dash. If I ever find a manual tranny...

Bumper Wow, nice job. That is awesome. Does he plan to build more? What did it cost? thanks Josh

4runner :coffeedrink:If only it had a locker. I'm rethinking my v6/AT wants. Of course locker or not I don't think I'd have the stones to drive it up the trail I rode my motorcycle up on the way to the salt tram ruins above Swansea. Scary drop offs and loose stairs. Bump for a well built rig.

4runner underside Ground is wet with snow, these picss the owner sent that looked worrysome, thoughts? Sorry the images are low res, better images can be found at...

4runner-thoughts pics ok, thoughts now? thanks Josh

Thanks for the insight Mr. Leary. Josh

Nice bluid. Enjoyed it. josh

4runner search That's encouraging, Tacoma4life Still looking, I know if I'm patient the right one will pop up. Reading all these build threads is making it tough to wait. Heading to DV next week, for some off roading with the motorcycle; wish I already found a 4runner. Josh

Nice 4runner Ok, finally finished reading your complete thread. Speechless and very envious. Great job. Josh

my 4runner search So after looking/driving four different 4runners over this last week I have a question about the rear locker. What does it mean when the rear locker light blinks but never turns solid; other than it hasn't engaged? Both 4runners were in 4L. Both the owners had never used the...

The bigger motors and lack of HG issues was a big draw toward the third gen for me. josh

4runner Thanks everyone. RusM- too funny, I drooled over your 4runner for a longtime on the yota forum, but the dents(yes trival maybe, but if there are going to be dents I want to have put them there) and mileage kind of bummed me out. So I looked at a 2000 4runner last night. AT/w locker...

Ok, please keep the flaming to a min. Can someone point in the direction of an existing thread or info on what to look for in a used 3rd generation 4runner? After looking over all the options a 97-00 4Runner is going to fit the bill. What should I be looking out for, I know the general timing...

Not mine, no info just passing along. Retro-Expo Rig. http://burlington.craigslist.org/cto/2022711981.html Thanks Josh

I'm looking for a 3rd generation 4runner, ideally a 97-99 with locking rear diff and a AT. This rig will be used for the occassional offroad excursion, sometimes daily driver and towing a single axle trailer with a 1100 lb vintage racer. Anyone have any experience with the 2.7 four vs the 3.4...
