the most annoying thing about your 3rd generation?

Whats the most annoying thing about your 3rd generation 4runner?

...mine has to be (as i live in a winter belt) the ice and snow accumulation on the inside/top of the rear hatch. When i open the trunk and i hear the crunching of built up ice near the hinges and top and it limits the full opening of the trunk...its a real PITA!

yours?...

Mine would have to be the cupholder placement in my 98.

No in all seriousness that can get annoying.

The oil change!
How many of us have complained about the location of that filter!
I know me and my stepfather curse everytime we do ours.

I did the 99+ cupholder mod, oh so nice :-D

I'm going to, just haven't had luck finding a 99 around here for a cheap console.

The biggest thing that bothers me is the inability to replace it with something newer that is equally capable.

where to begin?

cupholders,
Ebrake location (why not on the dash like the taco's or previous gen 4runners?
squeaky rear seat latch (what connects the seatback to the body on the sides, just needs grease)
holding the sun roof controls. (dad's 08 civic is one touch... soo jealous)


im sure i could go on for days about all the little stuff that pisses me off on a day to day basis.

I like the ebrake location personally, just insurance to have it easily reachable instead of having to reach down under the steering wheel to pull it in case of and emergency.
The sunroof thing, I know!, I am jealous of mom and stepdad, they have one touch open, but I believe they don't have one touch close because of the sunroof size, after a certain length it becomes a safety percaution.

I don't think my dog would be able to make that jump into the rear window!...getting into the trunk with a lift is hard enough!

but the oil filter would have to be up there on my list!
