Not mine... but chased a nasty misfire cylinder 6 of 98. Compression test, leak down test, plugs, wires, coils, n radiator and hoses, oil and filter change, bled brakes , and windshield wipers. Normal maintenance shit on a neglected rig.
Napa came through with all Denso products for the job.

Some follow up from while back. Found most probable cause of high idle. Seems when throttle is opened when driving starts the blade is able to shift laterally towards front of vehicle. If parked and you grab throttle by hand and manipulate, it is possible to see this and then return it to position and settle idle down. Not sure if a new/stiffer spring could bring this back, or if the shaft is just at this point 360k worn enough that it needs replacement. In addition, gathering the parts to do the timing belt, no idea when it was done, so that is not a good sign.
Thank you! This was a combination of DIY and professional body shop work - I removed all the cladding and sanded it myself, and also reinstalled it, along with all new seals, clips, gaskets, etc. The body shop just had to shoot the paint.
I paid about $330 for painting the cladding, but that's artificially low because it was part of a bigger paint job for a fender and a door, so the cost of mixing the paint and similar prep was already absorbed by that job.
Where did you source your "all new seals, clips, gaskets, etc."?

Installed Strongarm 6815 Liftgate Supports.
Made new bushings with Hillman 880440 nylon spacers, Hillman 884573 nylon flat washers.
Cut a spacer in half:
Press on a washer at each end of a shortened spacer to create a nice bushing. (You’ll need one such assembled bushing per side for the top, plus one plain washer per side for the bottom.)
Test fit looks good.
Install with a generous amount of silicone.
I dropped an e-clip in the grass during removal, and after searching with a magnet for some time, I gave up and decided to improvise with some baling wire.
The baling wire seemed like a decent fit and might have been OK to leave in place. But I decided to look again, and after another few minutes of searching, I found it!
So be careful when popping off those little e-clips..
The lift gate works so much better now, and other people won’t hit their heads anymore!! (I still will…)

I bought them from Village Toyota because they had the best prices at the time, but you can get them from any Toyota parts supplier.
If I’m understanding you correctly this thread might be relevant to your throttle body problem: My High Idle CURED!!!

Haven't done anything with mine yet today. But I do plan on driving it to Home Depot this morning. Think a 20 foot extension latter will fit on the roof rack? LOL
Having done that myself, the answer is yes it will. Just make sure you secure it well.

I asked my wife if I should try strapping my 40' ladder on the roof, she didn't think that was a good idea, lol
My roof is stuck as well and also leaks. Do you have a writeup of what you did? I need to eventually get around to this! :help:

More just some commentary and pics... starts post 4268
habanero's 1996 4Runner Build-Up Thread - Page 214 - YotaTech Forums
My cable mechanism was stuck so that there was no access to all 3 screws that have to be removed in each rail even after pulling a whole lot of it apart. If there is a next time I will try to find a way to cut the cable itself somewhere between the sliding ends and the tube so the sliding mechanism can be moved. I didn't look at how that would be possible, but it would have meant not having to find donor rails if I'd been able to do it.
Gonna spend a few minutes adding to it here in a bit...

very ugly roads today...some of the worst in recorded history for here in my part of alaska...cops, news etc saying stay off the roads....stay home. well i am not that kind of person.... I did not need to go to town...but wanted to .....to test my rig and skills..grab some milk and stuff for an excuse....my kids think I am weird.
it was kind of a test .....but I went out on the road...my j shift 4wd and at one point used the locker today...
i had no issue....love this truck...im an old fart and have had many rigs in all kinds of weather.
btw....the only way my son could get out of his driveway was in his 2016 taco, 4wd low and his locker on...we live in the sticks

You left out the Most important part... tires. If you're running on decade old all-seasons, then needing 4wd for the roads could simply mean they're a little wet. If you're running brand new Blizzaks/similar, it's a whole different story.
Being from Wyoming, it was rarely the road conditions that caused closures, but visibility (high winds blowing snow and limiting visibility to about half-way down the hood). Rarely we'd get a night of black ice, and never closed just because of accumulation. Why are the roads ugly there?
i run blizzaks and not more than 3 seasons.. reason it is ugly is we dont get much wet snow or frezzing rain. we got both and a layer of ice on roads suck. I grew up on black ice in the high mountains of Oregon ( hoodoo, bend, sisters)...this is worst...worst on recoreded history for here. with high winds blowing drifts across all.for months we dont see pavement or painted lines..you just drive between the berms and follow other tracks... they cant salt road...,happy on that.. cause its so cold it just re-frezzes. the plows cant keep up.n 2 lane roads are one lane now....4 lane roads ...2 in each dierectioin are one lane each. police are telling every one to stay home. tons of people without power..im lucky. last night we had 11 inches and 30+ mph wind on top of what we had and another 4-6 expected tonight. its about 4 to 5 feet thick here now lots of main roads closed. Although my 4runner can crawl though lots im not gonna push it.. i live up high in the sticks and no snow plow had been here for days when they usually hit us ( well near enough) after main roads are done.
next year i might get nokians....they have a better review....but only one shop in town handles them. I used to run aggressive studded snow tires,,,but the blizzaks are better.
but I love it here.....fishing, hunting , trapping...if the roads clear I have to go check my trap lines. tow the snow machines or ""sleds"....you guys say snow mobiles or ski doos.. to it...but I dont use the 4runner for that....my daugheter in laws
big ugly pos ford diesel f350 and then she uses my sons taco

Driver's seat belt. Part # is: 7322035491E0
If you're a daily driver like me and have an old frayed seat belt, this is a high impact repair that makes an incredible difference in the quality of the driving experience.
Tools needed are a 10mm short socket, 14 mm short socket, trim tool, and JIS screwdriver for the floor trim.
Be careful not to yank too hard when you remove the old assembly near the floor because the yellow wire for the seat belt light doesn't have much slack and looks easy to break.

Mines is not as bad as yours and when it was all frayed I cut it off with my knife. That’s why the top looks like that and it’s fraying again. Stupid me had an extra good drivers belt, but threw it away last summer when I was cleaning

Need help
So I was doing a LED Light conversion on my dash today. Got everything buttoned up and it looks great. But then I noticed that my gas gauge was at 0 and my gas light was on! took It back apart and everything looked good. (I have a full tank but its still reading as 0). What should I do???
PLEASE HELP
