Hey all,

It's time to trade in my 2000 Highlander and I'm looking to get another 4-Runner. My questions about the 2004 are as follows:

Does anyone have any info on the 4.7L TRD SC? I ran the SC on 2000 and it was awesome, ready to try that again...

Is there any lift, 2" or so, that is available for the 2004? I ran the PP Springs and Bilsteins on my 2000 and loved that setup.

What is the largest tire size that will go on a stock 2004 and a 2004 with a 2" lift?

I hope someone can throw me a little info, but if not, just keep enjoying those Toyotas, they're amazing trucks.


I heard that TRD isn't selling the 4.7 SC, at least right now...rumors are, it has something to do w/ not meeting emissions. I've looked around a little and couldn't find anything as far as ARB/OME accessories for the 4th gen runners. It'll probably take a few years? I'd guess one could buy Prado suspension components Down Under and they'd probably fit. I'm waiting to see if Toyota introduces the 1kd-ftv turbo diesel in '06, when this country is supposed to convert to low sulfur diesel. Otherwise, I'll probably get a used 100. BTW, what's the fuel economy difference between a 100 and V8 4runner? Anyone know? 17mpg vs 15?

'86 4Runner: ARB winchbar, Kaymar, e-codes, OME lift, RR diff lock, FR truetrac, sound stream a/d/s audio, recaros.
'03 LX470: ARB sahara bar, Kaymar, HID's, ART cryo'd/slotted rotors, Stoptech SS hoses.

'00 CRV
