is there another 4runner forum that is the main forum? for instance, for Jeeps Jeepunlimited.com is the ultimate forum and is very useful so I was wondering if this yotatech forum was the biggest/most popular or if there was a bigger one like jeepunlimited.com? I am looking for info on the 2003 4runner as well as upcoming features and options like wheels/tires, trd, etc. Also, the last generation i guess its 3rd gen i don't understand the lift options and different packages like how u can get a sport that has body color bumpers like a limited and what the differences b/w those models are, etc. For jeeps I know that most people get a teraflex budget boost lift and upcountry springs and edelbrock or bilstein shocks and there is a kolak catnback exhaust etc. but i don't know anything about toyota 4runners and popular options. i'm not looking for a detailed explanation of how to lift or what to lift with or things like that that i found when trying to search, i'm looking for either a bigger forum website for 4runners and model options and differences of 3rd and 4th generation 4runners and what most people mod with b/c i am interested in getting a new 4runner or a used 2002 4runner when my Jeep Grand Cherokee quits on me...

Thanks!

The 2 best 4Runner Forums I have found are:

Yotatech and 4x4 Wire's Trail Talk

There is not a lot of info out on the 2003/4th Gen as of yet since it was just released around 5 days ago. From the looks of it suspension lifts for the new 4Runner will take some development time and because of all the gizmos driving the IFS setup, I think it will be limited at best ... at least for now.

I am not expecting anything from TRD soon besides a Supercharger for the V8. But because it is all new, I think they may put some effort into developing some cool parts for it over the next year.

If you want to know the differences between the 3rd and 4th gen 4Runners you may want to take a look at the 4Runner's History.

Hope this helps!

EDIT: For detailed explainations on suspension lifts go here. This will give you a pretty good idea of suspension setups up to 2002/3rd Generation 4Runners. Like I mentioned above, the 2003/4th Generation is still too new for any aftermarket suspension developments yet, and I am thinking it will be difficult for anyone to make aftermarket suspension products for it.
