Hi, I'm new
I am pretty sure I will be buying this 4runner this weekend. I never planned on buying a SUV or an import, but I wanted Rear wheel drive and decent mileage. This seems to fit the bill perfectly.

I don't trust the dealer. I went there two weeks ago and the stupid salesman tried to tell me it was 4WD. Then I couldn't test drive it because the entrance was blocked with construction trucks.
I wrote them an email about my bad experience and they offered to drop the price $700. I'm going to give it another look. All I want is the truck, no warrenty, so the dealer doesn't really matter.
My questions is, how do I check to see if it has anti-lock brakes? I noticed their is a metering block with a bunch of brake line tubes on the passenger side firewall. Is this part of the system?
My next question, and I'll probably get some flak for this... How hard would it be to lower it 2-3 inches. It looks to tall without the running boards, and I don't really want to add running boards. Plus, I want the slightly increased aerodynamics and better handling.
Noone seems to make lowering springs specifically for the 4runner. I was thinking I could use Tacoma front springs and get rear springs from an early 90's 4runner (the ones with the sagging rear springs).
Finally, I want to add a header. I saw a good article on installing an LC Engineering header. I think I will go that route. Anyone have any comments on headers for the 2.7?
