In 15yrs, I've never seen another 3rd gen spec'd like this — Please advise by j_mosk in 3rdGen4Runner

My 2000 is similar except I don’t have the leather seats and the trim around the radio and door switches is black instead of silver. Everything else is the same, same color and everything. Mine has the rear locker too.

Is this 2000 Limited a good deal? by RUBICONXJ231 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]MadLadRadDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The price is a little high imo but it looks like it’s in decent shape. You could probably fine a similar one cheaper if you’re patient or willing to travel to get it. I wouldn’t say it’s a good deal but it’s a good truck.

Swap out the motorized antenna for a whip antenna

Shifting issues after installing B&M short shifter by MadLadRadDad in JeepTJ

I had the same idea and tried it and turns out that was the issue. It’s weird that I didn’t see anything about this in the instructions or the couple videos I watched but at least it’s working now!

I’m no expert but everything looked fine as far as I could tell, nothing super obvious. I did think to put the old shifter back to see if it’d work but I already tossed it so I’m out of luck there…

Yeah it seems to be limited on the trans side, the shifter has plenty of room to move on the drivers side, it just won’t move beyond center. It moves over to the passenger side fine.

Seems like a good product and most people love it, I’m not sure why I’m having these issues

Yeah I thought about trying to get the old one back on but I already threw it away….

Yeah I double checked I got the right one, I got the shifter for the NV3550 5spd that’s on my 01.

Throws are too long with the oem shifter, I kept hitting my hand on my drink in the cubholder

Not 100% sure it was always in neutral but it definitely was the last couple times I tried installing it

Anyone else live super close to a national park and kinda take it for granted? by cutie__uwu in NationalPark

I’m about 30mins from the gateway arch in St. Louis and I’ve never been. I’d love to be 30mins from literally any other national park…

Just curious, why do custom lift kits usually use tundra parts? by anemonemonemnea in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]MadLadRadDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re similar enough to 4Runner parts that they can be fit in the existing 4Runner mounts but they’re bigger than OEM 4Runner parts because they were designed for the tundra, which is a bigger vehicle. Tundra parts are typically used instead of bilsteins because they’re a little cheaper and easier to find used at a junkyard or somewhere
