3rd gen

since my beloved 85 was stolen, stripped and left for dead in the forest back in April, I have since acquired a 2001 4runner. I must say, at my advancing age, it's nice to have a heater and ac. I even have a working clock on the dash. lol Several things to get used to though. The horrible gas...

Hello! I have recently picked up a 97 3.4 4Runner and have many things I plan to work on. First off I had misfires in 1,3 and 5 but was fixed by replacing the Ignition Coils (which I was very surprised how nice and easy it was). Next on the list to replace is one I am not very excited about and...

This is my first 3rd gen. I spotted this truck in an old mans shed off the road. It had been sitting the last 14 years after a never completed timing chain job was started and not completed. After asking about it for several months and taking awhile for him to find the keys it was finally mine...

I have a 2000 4runner 4x4 for sale with 220000 miles.I purchased it from my dads best friend who bought it new in San Diego Toyota. It is in amazing condition and recently had the cylinder head gaskets redone , the heads machined and new valve cover gaskets installed. Along with water pump...

Hello all, I have lurked on these forums for years. Have done my fair share of wheeling and have a lifted 99' limited on 35s. Before anyone directs me to the search bar; I have SCOWERED the internet for months on the info Im about to provide. OK :) So long story short, this runner was sunk...

Looking for some good output lights or lightbar to mount on the ARB bumper on a 3rd gen Runner. This rig sees a lot of brush on old trails so they need to be sturdy and bright. Anyone have experience with some they like?

Hey Everyone, I sold my Land Cruiser last week fully intending to get into a Tacoma build, but plans have fizzled a bit due to prices being slightly insane so I've started looking at 3rd gen Runners for now. Aside from some outliers it seems like I should be able to nail one down for a...

Hello folks, my first post here. So far, my searches have never directed me to a clear answer. Reading a lot of information leaves one with the impression that since the J95 Land Cruiser and the 3rd Gen 4Runner/Hilux Surf are re-skinned cousins, that parts meant for one can be used on the...

Figured I would start a pic thread for these as I have not seen one listed. I'll start with some of my previous rigs. 2000 taco 2.7 4wd with basic spacer lift, diff drop and 31x10.5-15 bfg all terrains. 96 4 Runner Limited 3" toytec front coilovers with ome 890 rears and diff drop 265x75-16...

Hey guys new to the forum hope im in the right thread. I have a 3rd gen taco with mods underway. Looking for some hood hinge brackets to mount the square led pods on each lower hand corner of the windshield. The brackets mount to the hood hinges. I have found these made by zroads but havent been...

hey everyone, Not sure if this has been asked yet or not but does anyone know if the brakes (pads and rotors) cross over from the 3rd gen 4Runner to the 3gen hilux surf? And if anyone knows of any other parts that cross over that would be awesome! Thanks! Collin
