Clutchee I no 4Runner expert but I think that was the 2015 special color. 2016 it is the tan. 2017 is that gunmetal gray.
That's what I was saying
 
That's what I was saying

Not sure what production numbers are for each color but 16s are White, Gray and Tan.

I'm loving this gray. If I'd had all 3 to pick I'd have picked white and I'm so glad I didn't.

Old 4Runner pulling commuting duty.
 
1998 4runner arrived this morning. Everything seems in order, running well. Need to get it registered. I'd like to have good mechanic look it over while the dealer warranty is still good. Any recommendations in the Jackson area? This is an SR5 TRD, 5 speed manual v6. I will post up pix later. Gotta grade and give exams today.
 
49 tire has a great toyota guy from what I've heard. @wct49 @offr0adlim0
 
Yeah, let Rob look at it at 49 tire.
 
5vzfe is a solid motor and the 3rd gen 4runner is a solid truck. Inquire about a timing belt job if it hasn't been performed yet and replace all the fluids as you should be good after that.

Oh also the lower ball joints need replacing every 100k. Do not skimp out on this. Too many people do and I see way too many 4Runners loosing wheels, axles, and fenders due to this issue. Luckily no deaths. Only replace with OEM Yota ball joints as the aftermarket ones you get from the auto parts stores and ebay will fail fairly quickly.
