I've had my Runner for a little over a year, figured I ought to starte a thread here. After selling my 05 Element with 134k that i've had for 1 month shy of 10 years in March of 2010, I snagged a new to me 4runner. It's an 02 SportEdition 4wd, 234k, previously owned by a gulfstream mechanic's son. It was in better shape than my E, so while it's a little older and higher mileage, in my eyes it's an upgrade. The toaster was a great vehicle, but I was really wanting/needing a real suv, not a compact mini van. I didn't manage to take any pics before I plastered a few stickers on, but I did get a one before I started tinkering with anything else.
It's already had the timing belt replaced within the last 10k, so I'm good there. It was 1k overdue for an oil change so I knocked that out of the way. I've been getting a CEL 0442 that comes on every couple days after resetting it. Already replaced the gas cap. Not positive, but it looked like maybe it's the charcoal canister.
The other thing that it was in dire need of was tires. I can't stand the wheels on the SE, so I figured I'd do that in one fell swoop. Managed to get them on this afternoon. I went with Level 8 Mk6 +0 offset with General at2 265/75/16's. They did scrub a lot turning around in the driveway. After trimming the liner a little bit and hammering out the pinch welds, normal scrubbing disappeared. It still does when turning and hitting a big bump,dip, etc.
