Thank you.
Took longer than I wanted, but not as long as others though. Know what you want, and get really serious about it.
A post I made a few weeks back on this topic:
Would you buy?
Looking to put only about 3k miles a year on this T4R, I imagine I might go into the ground before "Jack". Our little girls call "him" Jack as we carved our jack-O-lantern that evening...
So much for my run of female names!

Yes, I read your reply to that thread the other day as I was doing some research. I have several CL searches set up within a 4hr drive. Also stalking Facebook marketplace.

Nice. I even had alerts for San Diego and parts of Arizona, 1 to 1.5 hour flights away...
Respond fast to the alerts and you'll be driving one. Best to you!

On a conference call and had to hit mute!

A play on words my friend, all in fun of course, couldn't resist!

Yes, but be prepared for the grommet to crumble into the plenum; they get hard and brittle after so many years. Order a new grommet too.
I was able to fish out all the pieces of grommet on mine. Another common issue on a 18 year old car.

Thanks Mike.
I had read that in a thread or two (dry/brittle grommet). The previous owner did the valve cover gaskets, but I don't know if he did the PCV valve. I would have...
Maybe I can tell by inspecting the grommet, noting its condition.

Ok, this is very much 4Runner-related...
While we have a 3-car garage, and the T4R is the 3rd vehicle, it won't fit as it's too tall, even in stock form. I knew that when I purchased it as even our family car (Equinox) will only fit with the removal of the roof-mount antenna.
I have some decent space on the side of the house though. I cleared out some large limbs this past summer with this in-mind... Some excavating is desirable in order to get it in/out more easily, especially for my wife. Made some nice progress today. There are tons of rocks and even boulders here.
Probably one more day of earth-moving and leveling. Once done, I'll drop some sand and then pavers so it won't be sitting in the mud...
Before next summer I'll build a structure in this space so it is out of the elements... There's room for a trailer too.

True that both differentials and and the transfer case use the same lubricant? Looks to be 75w-90 gear oil...
Advisable to replace all (8) gasket washers too? I imagine so. Think I have part #s already... Thanks!

You are correct, I used Redline 75W-90 and bought this kit for the crushwashers:

Perfect, thank you. I ordered that kit, plus 7 quarts of 75W-90.
I heard that doing the tranny is not as easy, not sure why though. Thanks again!
