    Tell me about the "dark side"...

    Yup, all Limited 4Runner's in Canada are E-locker equipped from what I've seen. Good luck! I'll be watching out for your build thread. Cheers

    98 4Runner - Dirt Duster Build

    I think you should just follow suite as well. Like I said, Stealth 6!!!!! Thanks a lot! I picked up a Canon 6D - their newest full frame. SO many more functions and the capabilities are 1000x better than my long-overdue upgrade from my old 450D (Rebel XSi). My XSi was/has been a great camera...

    98 4Runner - Dirt Duster Build

    I haven't been out wheeling or exploring much lately with the truck, other than a couple hours (as posted above) while on vacation in BC. I did however pick up a new camera recently and have been out playing with it a little bit. Sorry for the poser shots and non toyota pics, but I thought Id...

    Yotapilot's 2001 Tacoma DC Build

    Glad that LED relay worked out for you. Same relay location as the 4Runner too. Sweet! Maybe I missed this but what brand are those lights in your front bumper? Vision X? I still need to ad some 4" lights to my ODL bumper....

    02 Tundra "PIT O' GOLD"

    Super cool build. It's nice seeing something different out there on the trails! I'm actually surprised more people aren't starting to build 1st gen Tundra's up. They are actually almost identical width as a 4th Gen 4Runner, so they really aren't that wide. Have you ran into any issue with the...

    Lol, so I hear..... although there isn't really any weather condition that would allow me to prefer Southern Alberta vs. the Kootenays. Here's another boring BC pic! hahah 20121224-IMG_3690 by RickaShay24, on Flickr

    Home in the Kootenays (Nelson B.C. Canada) for the Christmas holidays and I got out to play in the snow: 20121222-IMG_3602 by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20121222-IMG_3612 by RickaShay24, on Flickr

    Yotapilot's 2001 Tacoma DC Build

    I really like the look of that Bumper! Wish it would have been out sooner and I could of been the 3rd gen 4Runner test mule. Regarding your LED turn signals, here is the LED flasher relay that all of the "3rd gen" guys have been using to eliminate the hyper-flash. I would assume your Tacoma...

    Tell me about the "dark side"...

    The E-locker push button is located to the left of the steering column, IF the vehicles were equipped with the locker option. All 96-99 (I think 99 was the last year for the e-locker or maybe it was 2000) Limited's have the E-locker. It was an option for the SR5's.

    Wow Adam, that double swing-out came out awesome! Always love seeing your "home-made" updates and great photos.

    Tell me about the "dark side"...

    This may not be relative to the vehicle you intend to purchase but I thought I'd share: IMO the factory brakes are rather weak and beware of warped rotors etc. when you are looking to purchase. As said above, the "Sport Editions" do come with bigger brakes but I can't comment on how they...

    Tell me about the "dark side"...

    I have no experience with a Jeep of any sort, as I have been a Toyota enthusiast my whole life, but I can share with you some information about my current 98 4Runner build: I bought it with 245,000KMS (~150K miles) for $6500 a couple years ago. It had decent maintenance history and appeared to...

    98 4Runner - Dirt Duster Build

    Thanks a lot! I feel like it's almost "done" but we all know that will never happen.... The price varies hugely upon what you are trying to accomplish and the parts list you decide to pick - I build them specifically for each individual. If you'd like the rundown, I'd love to chat headlights...

    Thanks Tim! I should have taken your advice and supported the belly pan before I put it on - bent it yesterday.

    Finally chose a rig, now looking starts, 4Runner 3rd gen.

    Good advice on the transmission cooler - avoid the "pink milkshake". The 3.4L is very reliable and when well maintained should last a LONG time. Another weak point on these trucks is the steering rack. Check to see if it leaks bad or has a lot of play in the steering. I like my 98 SR5 and how it...

    Got T-Boned, Now i need repairs badly plus a new rear axle...

    First and foremost, glad you, the wife, and the dog are all OK! Definitely seems like a solid hit. Such a shame to see all that work and perfection mangled in an instant, but it can all be replaced. Hopefully the appraisal goes well and the insurance makes right of the situation, in whatever way...
