Hello,

I’m new here looking for help on this issue I have. I have 2000 4Runner 2.7L 4 cylinder 2WD and this noise happens only on cold starts the goes away. Please let me know what you think this could be.

Thank you

It could be a pulley but it's hard to say. Get yourself a mechanic's stethoscope and have someone start and stop the engine for you you while you listen to different pulleys and areas of the engine so you can narrow down the location and possible causes.
 
CS144 Alternator + Big 3 Wiring Upgrade

If you're getting into wheeling or overlanding and you're starting to add more things that cause a draw on your electrical charging system, there's a couple mods you might want to consider. One is the CS144 Alternator Upgrade and the other is the Big 3 wiring Upgrade. And, lucky for you, this video shows you how to accomplish both.

AC Condenser and Receiver Replacement

Not a video on installing dual transfer cases, but good for anyone needing to get their AC recharged or repaired. I don't recall if [MENTION=120071]mtbtim[/MENTION] and [MENTION=102606]infamousRNR[/MENTION] have one on this yet, but this is for replacing your AC condenser and receiver then getting the system recharged:

We do have an AC Recharge video but we didn't replace the AC condenser or receiver dryer. Thanks for the video contribution.
 
Dont want to lift but want better suspension kit

So ive been workin on my 98 4runner and decided its time to upgrade to a newer more durable suspension system new shocks coils the works but every kit i see online is to get the 4runner lifted which surprisingly is not what i want to do. So what would be a good kit option for me to use and whats a good website to purchase these things

If you want OEM height and performance then OEM will be the best fit for you. If you need increased cargo capacity or towing capacity look into adding rear airbags to help the coil springs. If you're on a budget then KYB shocks and Moog springs will probably be the most budget friendly option.

I would like OEM height but much better performance not sure if they make anything like that though honestly im learning as i go along with this little project so not even sure what website is the best starting point for any of these parts

Do you want better on road or off road performance?

And budget... You can hit about $400, 800, 1200 and I'm not sure what's up from there. I'm on the ~$1200 option, at OEM height and good road ride quality (though that's always subjective, lets just say my wife is Also happy with the ride).

The tiers are KYB gas-a-just, Bilstein 4600 and 5100's and Bilstein 6112/5160's (my combo), then Kings/Fox/ not sure who else. Shocks paired with Old Man emu (OME) springs, though apparently Dobson are good too... Moog don't have a good reputation.
 
Hey Dudes,

[MENTION=102606]infamousRNR[/MENTION] and I have a double feature for you. If you were looking for a video tutorial to do the whole job on your own so you don't get bent over at a shop or have to pay a machine shop to do the press work for you, we got you covered. We have a video for ABS Rearends and Non-ABS Rearends.

Here's the videos and Enjoy the Show!

So I tried to follow along with the video to install the new seals, but they got hung up on the hole for the ABS sensor. I also had to hammer the seals in from the start, and in the video it looks as if he pushes the seal in by hand past the ABS hole and only does a little hammering past the hole.

It sounds like you got the wrong seals.
 
2002 4Runner 264k miles NEVER CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID

I am getting pushed fairly heavily to get my transmission fluid changed on my 2002 SR5. I never changed it and kept it so far. Any suggestions?
