I Want An Xrunner

I am looking at different vehicles to get to and from work I cant drive the 4runner 3 hours a day all over chicago any more. Ive been looking at 3rd gen 4runner 5spd with a super charger. and the new xrunner with a supercharger (300hp, 0-60 in 7.0, almost 1 lateral g). I cant find a whole lot of info on these xrunners but what ive seen looks good. Any body nave any opinions on these things.

Now why do you have to go there?

You have a 5speed 1st Gen waiting for you here

I'm a Cub fan so I'm used to losing.

I'm looking into one when I can get a decent deal (%) on an '06.

Check out CustomTacos.com under their XRunner link.

There are a few issues with them, hence the reason I am waiting on an '06.
The major one seems to be a trans issue, and a tire issue.
I don't want to be taking anew truck to the dealer.

There is one for sale on eBay. Expect to pay the sticker price unless you get an '05.

There is no S/C for it, but URD is working on a nice turbo (twin?) setup. $$$

Yeah, I was upset that they are not going to come out with one. I figured I would have a sleeper with a S/C with a nice ARB Bumper and a sweet desert off road suspension.

Alas

There was a company trying to get a S/C for the X (4.0), I know they scrapped the plan because they blew up 2 motors trying to get it tweaked.
The guys on CT said that there may never be a bolt on because the compression is already high.

Very nice truck though.

I thought 3rd Gens did come in manuals, they were just rare.

Not Limiteds. I too wish they did. I'd have more fun with mine.

Swore I seen pictures of a totalled one before with leather somewhere on here or Tundra Solutions. It was a member who posted the pictures and it was totalled.

I know the '01 and '02 LTD models didn't have a manual. I asked for one when I bought it.

Maybe they took a manual and made it into a LTD?

There are plenty of 5-speed 3rd gens around if you look. I found quite a few 1997 and 1998 models with the 5-speed but the 1999+ were more difficult to find. I found (and bought) a fairly rare one last month--it's a white 2000 with the large fender flares, 5-speed manual and e-locker.

Limiteds were never available with a manual trans. You could order leather as an option on an SR5, so that is likely what you saw.
