Anyone Local to Salt Lake and need a Roof Rack for there 5th Gen? We got rid of our 5th gen and I still have the rack from it. It is a Prinsu knock off made by a local fab company that is no longer in business here in Salt Lake.

Looking for $700 OBO and Must be Local to Salt Lake or surrounding areas for Pickup.

- Since it doesn't have the light bar cutout, there is no noticeable noise with the rack.
- I have four 1x2 extrusions (black) that are also included (not shown). These pictures were taken about a year ago when I first installed it on our 5th gen.
- Stainless hardware included
- Rails are 1/4" steel powdercoated
- You can mount awnings and other stuff with ease.
- Full Length of Roof, No drilling required assuming you had a factory Roof Rack.

Again, I will not ship, Local to SLC ONLY. I will drive for a small fee.

 

Got my snorkle installed this weekend and did the taco whip mod.

 

Its a mod for the 3rd gens with the crappy power antenna. The mod is replacing the factory antenna with the antenna base from a 1st gen Tacoma.

 

It still works?? Lol! Mine stopped working before I even bought my 01 4runner. I've been wanting to replace it for a while now and it was going to be in the way of the snorkle tubing, so I pulled the trigger and did it all at once.

 

Figured I'd chime in here as my first post o'er here on TW... Figured it was about time, and I need to get me-self a gel badge for the ebay snork I just ordered!

Bought this absolute unit two days ago and need some help





2000 Highlander 5spd manual 3.4 4x4
One owner
230k original miles
Full service records
Original clutch



It snapped an alternator belt right before i bought it so i drove it home on just the battery.

Last night i pulled the radiator, clutch fan, and replaced all three belts. In the process, i broke both the power steering tensioner bolt, and the alternator tensioner bolt. Any idea where i can replace those?

Also it needs a slight frame patch in the rear between the trailing arm and rhe shock mount. Anyone know of any patch kits out there?

 

Future goals

 

Nice looking 4runner and 5 speed too. For the bolts, I’d go Toyota. They should have them. For the frame that is going to be custom. Be careful with that fix as the mount back there loves to snap off on rust belt trucks.

 

Bolts: junkyards

Patch kits: any metal frame fab shops

 

I’ll just get some metal and burn it in

 

Received my order from ADS today!

 

That’s pretty

 

can't help with the mechanical bits, but that thing looks GREAT - especially for 230k!

 

Stand by for better photos. Trust me its beat.

It hasn’t been washed since 1999
