Hello y'all
I'm a 4Runner and T100 owner, it seems like I always have been. I'm on my 4th 4Runner and the T100 is my workhorse. Right now my wife drives a 1994 4Runner with only 80k on it and my 98 is creeping up to 140k. The T100 is rolling along smoother than a Cadillac with 185k on it. I consider all of these to still be in their break-in miles since Toyota's will run forever if you take basic care of them.
Parts are getting a little more difficult to find in some cases so I've decided to jump into the TORC pool to see what I can find. Up here in Minnesota we put more salt on our roads than you'd find on the rim of a margarita so rust can be a problem. So far I've been winning that battle but it still finds a foothold on some small scale.
My first attempt to find something has to be the fog light for my 98 4Runner SR5. It's a factory installed Hella they fit in to the lower grill. Its about 3x5 inches rectangular in shape. I can dig up more information but my guess is that one or more of you are so in tune to things you know the exact part number without looking it up. Gotta love geeks, we got mad skills for things we love. Anyone got a good lead on how I can pick one of these up without going through the dealership? They want $440 FOR IT AND THAT'S MAKES ME WANT TO RUN WITH SCISSORS.
