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.

 

That's too much power for you to handle boy

 

Hey knock it off you, or ill let todd sell your truck

Damn the sox just lost

 

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.

 

Damn north siders

Check your pm's

 

There is no S/C for the new 2005 Tacoma as I know.

 

Indeed it does

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. $$$

 

I hope the white sox win this year!

1918 last year and 1917 this year

good luck!

I am soooo glad Cali beat NY!!!!!

 

No it dont.... The article says TRD was going to come out with one, but they never did. If they had one out, it would be on my 05 Tacoma as we speak.

 

I stand corrected and slightly peterbed, I may cry tonight. Maybe ill just get the 3rd gen runner and sc it.

 

Wow a boston fan that is rooting for the white sox. mmmm a good sport

 

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.

 

HMM I see a supercharged 3rd gen 5spd runner in my furure. I wish the limiteds came in manuals. oh well.

 

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.
