4th Gen 4Runner Questions

so i am picking up a 2003 limited 4Runner tomm......it has 81k on odo
questions......will my king coils from my 09 tacoma work on the 4 runner?
what other parts if any are interchangeable ?
i need skids, sliders, bumpers...cv's,
timing belt and water pump i think
how hard is the timing belt to change
does the water pump need to be replaced at 90k also?
what else should be done?
rear diff breather mod?
im looking to go 33's and lift it?
i also have a slight belt chirp i will have to look into.....
let the fun begin.....
any tips or advise is welcome......

 

This site will be your best friend. I believe the coilovers should work, but you probably want to double check.
I know some FJ suspension works on the 4Runners.

There are a lot of things that are interchangeable. Timing belt and water pump is a pretty time consuming job, if you have the tool and know how, it shouldnt be too bad. Im pretty sure that they recommend to do both at the same time. At least you might as well since most of the same parts need to come off.

Are you getting a 4.7 or 4.0?

Rear breather mod is easy, and should be done if you plan on playing around any water.

You should be able to clear 33" with a modest lift and the right wheels.

 

ITS A 4.7....
AND THATS WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP

 

Glad you made out man!

That V8 will be nice

 

im running coilovers that were off a tacoma. They're completely interchangeable in that regard.

 

Sweet
What about tre's
Cvs
Spindles
Wheel bearings
Lca's
All the same

 

So for my rear lift im thinking ome 896's with ome 60004 shocks

Any thoughts
I carry around lots if weight and plan on tire carrier in rear

 

The rear is IRS right?? Not a solid axle?

 

Pretty sure it's coils on a solid axle. The wife's 2004 is...

 

its a solid axle rear with coil springs. Some have the option of air suspension too.

 

vvvv

Ok i have a 03 limited and i have a bunch if questions i could use help with
I am a former 2nd gen fully modded tacoma owner
But i am still learning the 4runner

Ok for the question

Can i ditch the sway bar like i did on my taco

Here is a pic of what i want to remove to hardwire my ultragauge and gps

7......anyone running 315-70-17's
On a 3"

Thanks in advance

 

Also anyone here running oba setup
If so post up your sysyem

 

1. You can. There is more body roll from the 4R than my Taco...but you could do it of you wanted.
2. There are drawer set ups and molle packs out there for the cargo area....depending on your goals for the rig.
3. I think if you disconnect the battery and be gentle - Should be good
4. None-Wife loved hers...Till I stole it.
5. Don't think so...
6. & 7. No clue.

 

OK, here you go, toyota120.com is a great resource:

See pic of storage box. I plan to revamp with a pressure switch, new compressor and a tank soon.

 

Yup, front suspension and steering is identical between FJ, 4R and Taco.

 

thanks
and lol

sweet thanks i need so many ideas....
everything is so much more expensive then my tacoma

lca's are exactly the same too?
rock auto has diff part numbers for them and lbj's as well.....
???

 

Pretty sure, check out Total Chaos, they list all 3 models for the same LCA. When I did my LBJs I followed a write up on TW and used the taco part numbers.

 

this is what im hoping for

 

So i am thinking if picking up an PIONEER avh-x4500bhs for my 2003
It has a jbl radio in it now
Does anyone know what i need to install it wire and cable wise
