    Measures 60" x 35". Never used, had planned to put this in a rooftop tent that has since been sold. $100 shipped to the lower 48.

    2nd Gen 4Runner N130 Reliability

    I'm in the "3.0 gets a bad rap, but is really OK" camp. Had a '91 pickup with the 3.0 that blew a head gasket at 130K, did the replacement myself with very limited knowledge and drove the truck for another 100K before selling it for nearly what I paid 8 years earlier. Definitely not the most...

    Stereo question.

    Does your truck have the factory navigation system? If so, there is no easy way to install an aftermarket head unit, as the climate controls are integrated with the stock unit.

    will 94 engine computer work in 96 cruiser?

    Don't think it will work - 1994 is OBDI and 1996 is OBDII, pretty significant difference in engine control/monitoring systems.

    News to me, I hadn't ever seen a 4th gen with the 3rd row until that cars.com link posted above. Good to know.

    Bay Area - Recommendation for a shop to do a timing belt change on 3rd Gen 4runner ?

    $1,100 is a bit steep, but not too bad. I just had the same job done on my wife's 4th gen (V8) at Elk Grove Toyota here in Sac for right around $1k, all in. If you're willing to drive a bit, you might inquire what Mudrak's in Sonoma would charge. I like to plug Gary's shop whenever I get the...

    My Cruiser needs a new motor does this cost seem outta line? Consider SFBay area.

    FWIW, I had a full rebuild done with all OEM parts, new hoses, vacuum lines, etc., all the stuff you are looking at. Block bored to 4.6L, and installed a (used) supercharger for quite a bit less than $13.5k. This was all done by Robbie from Colorado (best Cruiser mechanic in the states, as far...

    4th gen 4runner dual battery setup: Difficulty level?

    I bought a National Luna Portable Power Pack (similar to the Ark Pak) 4 or 5 years ago and have been very happy with it. Installation is easy, just heavy gauge wire from the main battery to the NL unit and you're good to go. Also enjoy the mounting flexibility, and I do use it in both my...

    How strong is the 80's roof?

    With a gutter-mounted rack, yes - plenty strong. Without it, the roof itself is quite weak in terms of vertical loading. I've got a small dent in mine from stupidly putting my knee up there while wrestling with a bike rack.
