I currently have a 98 Limited 4Runner and I am considering buying a 2000 Limited to replace, with the body changes and some other changes, is there anything really different or stuff that is know to go wrong on the 99-02 models?

 

Not anything I've read about but you do get all the ergonomic upgrades.

 

the 4wd has awd.

 

From what I've seen here, later models in 2000 had shorter springs, about an inch. I have an 01 and mine is low, it also hits the bump stops alot, I have a set of 99 springs I'll be putting on when it warms up a bit.

they are lower, however they had some recalls with the ball joints from 2000 on, but nothing you can't take care of.

 

I bought my 2K Limited in early '00 and it has been serviced by the dealer every 4k mi. The only problem I have had was with the oem Goodyears hydroplaning at approx half tread. Goodyear gave me a goodwill adjustment on new tires. I plan on keeping the truck and doing any repairs necessary.

Oops, Forgot. The roof rack was replaced under warranty because it peeled.
