Forums for Toyota?

I will be buying my wife a new car in about a year. We both really like the Toyota 4Runner. So my question is
what is the best website for Toyota Forums? I plan on doing some research for a while before I buy anything.

Anyone own a 4Runner? I was looking at the V8 version. Is the V8 necessary or should I stick with the V6? I don't plan on buying till next year, but like I said, I like to do my research before I buy. We won't be towing anything. The car will only be for family trips and the daily commute.

What do you guys think about the V6 and the V8? I have heard that the V8 is a very rugged, well built engine.

Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Not a good one that I could find. I tried going on-line for my mother's Datsun, but after being here for so long fell asleep at that site - know what I mean.

Maybe someone will come along shortly. I am sure that vanity and pride will soon be overlooked since you are a fellow FTEer. Right guys?

Mike, do you remember who it was that wanted pics of my house in the Garage Forum? I have a few. It was a metal frame house and they wanted to see progress pics.

My minds gone - sumtimerz - you know.

No.

Someone fairly new. I think (???) he was wanting to know how I was only going to use 4 trusses spanning 70 feet. I think he thought I was pulling his leg.

I know he was a welder, but I have looked all over and can't find it - shoot, I can't even remember the name of the thread.


Oh, well. I'll eventually come up with it - if I don't forget what the subject was by that time!

Well, I knew it had something to do with you but that's about it.

Or was it that welding hood avatar that struck an arc jolting my memory?

Well, austinpower, since I completely hijacked your thread, the least I could do is give you forum start for your 4runner:
