On an unrelated note, have anyone noticed a pulsation in the brakes when attempting to stop from higher speeds? Does anyone know what this might be or if a technical bulletin has been released related to this?
Thanks!
All of these tires have long wear and very good traction on & off road, wet or dry pavement, with strong sidewall protection.
-hope this helps
I bought new and it just turned 26k and it's a great car. No problems except for me scratching the paint myself like an idiot. I also cracked my windshield as to my own fault too. I added a I and N air filter but I was looking for something more than that, but not quite the TRY supercharger (although it would be nice). Maybe a chip, and would a chip void the warranty?
I love the car but I need more go. I've owned two Celica GAS' and my buddy just picked up the new 2002 Turbot Subaru Imreza WAX and I want to get more performance without losing, the size, space, look, reliability, off road and snow capability, of the 4 Runner.
I drove the IS300 at Edmond's live in English town NJ and may think about swapping out once it comes with a manual cranny but I REALLY don't want to.
Thanks!

Also there is a webring at the bottom of his page that should keep you busy for awhile.

Next, your driving position makes all the difference. If you have a laid back position, you might be OK. If you need to sit upright, you're not going to like it. I've sold a number of Tundras to tall guys who were looking at the Runners. I know it isn't an SUV, but it meets the needs of quite a few buyers and tall guys fit well. You'll get a luxury ride (nicer than the Runner), a V8 engine and plenty of size. You loose room in the back seat and it isn't as easy to park though.
Please advise A SAP as I will have to make a decision by tomorrow. I am getting it from a dealership in Florida.

In my country, i do not want friends to laugh and call me woman if i get automatic so i need manual, help????
I talked with a few tire-folks around here because all the 4Runners i see have the factory tires and wheels, and they claim the 4Runner has a "difficult mounting to match".
I'm not talking a 3-inch lift kit with huge mudders - just some wheels and tires that are a little fatter.
Anyone have this done? What specs?
I saw your post regarding hesitation, and your reference to a thread titled 4Runner Problems. Is it somewhere other than SUV Group? Am I blind, (and my IE 5.5 Find also blind)?
Toyota 4Runner problems?

"A redesign is scheduled for Toyota's bread 'n' butter SUV for 2002". Edmunds doesn't predict whether that includes a new skin or not. Anyone else?

I would stay away from pre 1997 4Runners and pickups with the V6. A head gasket is over $2000.
I sold it and went with a PAthfinder after the 3rd one. Too expensive.
Bisltein has a limited lifetime warranty on their shocks. Iv'e put over 125,000 miles on the same set and they're still going strong.

You won't have nearly as much bounce off-road with the bilsteins. They way the valving (progressive) is set up, the harder they're hit, the more they react. You would probably want the monotube design shock. I think the twin-tube design is for strut style applications.
Main questions?
#1) Is it going to be wider?
#2) Will it be less tippy?
In other words, are they going to follow the trend of making it more car like? I wish they'd just slap the Highlander body/interior on the frame.
cheers
The Seq will do for this year but our 92 explorer is probably gonna give up the ghost soon and a 2002 4-runner this time next year would be about right.
Personally, I think I'd enjoy the Highlander better but since I'll be towing 2,000 pounds every now and than, I can't help but think that a 4-runner would probably have twice the lifespan.
Thanks
I have added a link on the left hand column of the screen to the Toyota Racing Development topic in the Aftermarket & Accessories message board. Feel free to stop by in there and participate as well.
Hope this helps!
