How do you get rid of dog fur?
You buy one without any. Our 01 has 189k and is still aging gracefully and going up for sale soon. This 2010 is a great replacement and is also made in Japan.

Buy a box of hospital disposable gloves (non powdered). Just put the glove on and wipe the fur off of the interior. The fur will stick to the glove. When your hand is full of fur just hold the fur in your hand and remove the glove by turning it inside out. The fur will be gift wrapped for disposal.

The latex glove trick works so well. That is my go to method after a good vacuum job.

I have two German Shepherds and they shed like crazy. We have devoted a Chrysler Mini Van just to them to transporting them. Our vet suggested that we give our dogs Vitamin E which can be found at Walmart or some other box store very cheap. We started giving them the Vitamin E in their food for breakfast and dinner. Within about 2 or 3 days the shedding virtually stopped. Our vet said that the Vitamin E keeps their coat lubricated and prevents shedding. It does work.

The 3G T4R is one of my favorites, nearly bought one when I was in college.
My parents had 2 4Gs (V6 SR5 4WD & V8 Limited 4WD) Both great trucks.
Congrats on the new one, looks great.

Damn, I didn't realize that body style was that old! I would have mistaken that 4Runner for a brand new one if you hadn't said the year! Awesome pickup, now turn the old one into an overlanding rig.
srs?
brb, going to buy some Vitamin E. My golden sheds a full dog worth of fur every day.
For removing fur, a squeegee works really well too and can cover a huge area quickly if you get a big one. Downside is that it doesn't do non-flat surfaces at all.

on the Vitamin E, will have to give that a shot with our Catahoula. He dosen't shed a ton, but it is one of the reasons we don't take him in the car much, both have black interiors.

Since we have three dogs, we wanted to get something with more room and that would have fit the bill. But we went with another 4runner and we'll end up getting a pod for the top. Just like your fj, it's one of those things you really enjoy driving.

i personally think the 01 gen still looks better than anything that comes after that.

The cars (Toyota and Honda) from that era (mid 90s to early 2000s are basically bulletproof (except for Accord and most of the Acura)

Congrats man! A relative bought a 2013 4runner SR5 with this package that includes leather, sunroof, power heated seats, navi, and backup cam. If there is one thing to be said for 4runners, it's that they run damn near forever! I have very lightly on and off considered a 2004-2009 V8 Limited 4runner, but it doesn't have some features that I really want sadly.

Nice! For such a large and capable vehicle, that is awesome!

I used the vinyl glove trick this weekend, except I used nitrile gloves. It worked pretty well for a quick cleaning job. Definitely not a single pass method though.

thanks.
Our shopvac works really well. It has a smaller hose opening so the suction seems to be more concentrated. It's better than the car wash vacuums.
We have a buyer lined up to hopefully pick it up this weekend. I told him that if it's not in as good condition as i say that he can smack me around. He was not disappointed.

The 2001 has gone to her new owner. He was really excited to get the keys. The only thing we are planning to do with the 201 is a cargo carrier since we take the dogs places. We did pick up black all weather toyota mats.

Those things are crap. Have you ever used one? You need the suction force of a jet engine to keep those brushes going. I guess it may depend on the model too or i am putting all my weight on it to dig as deep as possible.
