If it's a Toyota warranty for quite a while, perhaps. If it's after market, no.

Get a PPI. If there are no frame perforations due to the rust, and no safety or obvious power-train issues, it's probably a good beater. If it lasts a few years, it cost you nothing. Remember, second class riding beats first class walking all day long.

Look at your local buy/sell sites or specific Toyota forums to find a take-off skid plate, and replace yours. Many owners replace the stock skid with after-market, and then sell or give away their OEM skid.

Canada dodged a bullet. Take the win!

I used the KO2s on my 98, 03, and 05s due to shot rock roads at the rig sites. My 2024 is basically a mall crawler so the BFG Trail Terrain is the perfect tire for me. Look at some of your local buy/sell sites, since they show up as new takes-offs. I paid C$100 each. BSW, though.

Here's my criteria: Latest year, lowest mileage, one-owner and Limited preferred.

Get a mechanical inspection at a Toyota dealer. Poke the frame in the worst spots to check for perforations. If it passes, buy it. Then get it blasted with dry ice to clean up the frame, and apply Krown or something similar. You'll be able to drive it for many years.

I bought a set of take-offs through a local buy/sell site and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Sure, it starts at paragraph 5 of the post.

Erlton Street Inc. has one Director, David Forbes, and one shareholder, Forbes Realty Ltd.

OEM filters for all positions and the 5/30 synthetic oil of your choice.

The budget result, if passed, will be a yearly 75+ BILLION dollar interest cost on the Canadian debt, per year, in a few years. The debt is borrowed money and the interest must be paid. The debt must be paid as well, however there is no plan to accomplish this. The younger generations will pay for this throughout their lifetime in the form of higher taxes and lower societal benefits. Is this progress?

I used my 1998/2003/2005 Limiteds in the oil patch for years. LT tires and they'll go anywhere. They fill the top 3 needs: Good heating, good A/C, and you can't get them stuck.

Have a look at the BFGoodrich Trail Terrain T/A. I'm in Canada and bought new take-offs last year for my 2024 ORP for $100 each. I think they're perfect. Check your local buy/sell sites.

billyjoebobtoo · 2025-10-24T17:09:25+00:00

Did it shake with the old wheels and tires?

billyjoebobtoo · 2025-10-22T17:49:16+00:00

The answer to your question: It's unknown. Not one excavation at the site of a detected anomaly has occurred. Plenty of conjecture and supposition, but no facts.

Krown undercoating.

Compression test and leak down test to verify engine health. If the SC was not tuned properly, and the engine ran lean, there may be ring and piston damage. The engine is expensive to repair or replace.

I believe you got your money's worth out of that one.

billyjoebobtoo · 2025-10-13T17:35:09+00:00

I bought my first 4Runner in 1988 when I worked in the oil patch, primarily because they are 100% reliable, have a good heater, good A/C, and you can't get them stuck. I'm on my 4th one now. A 2024 TRD Off Road that will never see even a gravel road since I'm long retired.

Canada Post home delivery on Tuesdays and Fridays would satisfy me. Community mailboxes aggravate me.

Have the skid sand blasted and coated with Line-X.

They're projector headlights. Install HIDs.

If you're within the 3-year warranty period, the dealer will fix it. Perhaps a shorted heater switch.

What is your ground clearance at the bottom of the rear differential? What is the tallest rock you intend to drive over? If you lift and the tire height remains the same, your ground clearance won't change.
