Thanks for the links guys.
I also read somewhere that : If I squeeze the upper hose while running warm up with radiator cap off, It also help to get the air out of system, is this true?

Yeah, I squeeze the upper rad hose a few times to work out the bubbles. Buy some Prestone flush and follow the instructions on the back to do everything. By the way, you can use GM Dexcool - which Wal Mart carries - to do the change. They have the best price. Be sure to use distilled water too.

Thanks all replies. The informations from your guys will help me alot on my next coolant change on 02 4runner. Have a great weekend.
