Could be something as simple as not tightening the gas cap enough when you fill up. Read your owner's manual -- most vehicles have a pressurized gas cap that you're supposed to turn until it clicks three times to work properly. If that's not it, the only way to tell is to take your 4Runner in to the shop and have them check the error code. The list of things it could be goes on and on.

People like to blame the O2 sensor for the problem because that's where the computer fault appears.

Simply resetting the light does not solve the initial cause of the problem.
Replacing a number of parts trying to troubleshoot the problem in the hopes of getting the light to stay off is a tremendous waste of time and money.
The simplest, and most economical way to alleviate your issue, is to have an engine diagnostic done by a reputable shop to determine what caused the computer to signal you to begin with. Just reading the computer codes may not find the "cause".
