I can't recommend a forum, but I know there are some good ones. My wife ran the wheels off of a '98 4 Runner. It was probably the most trouble free vehicle we ever owned. In 200,000 miles the ONLY repair was a starter. Everything else I did was strictly preventive maintenance. Unfortunately it had a timing belt, so that was a little extra maintenance.

The ones like yours with a timing chain are top notch in the reliability area. Looks? IMHO not good. Trim, paint, etc.? Less than optimum. The important thing is that they will keep on going like the Energizer Bunny.
