Great rigs!

The Dynomax 17418 Cat Back isn't exactly a direct replacement.

Sounds good but sort of pain to get it to work/fit correctly

Thank kinda sucks. But will sound great when in.

Going through random crap in the garage.
It is nice finding stuff that will help save a few bucks when it comes time to get the suspension done

Good find. I am selling my house and found a lot of stuff. But nothing cool like that. I did find an ECU and harness for a 89 pickup. Going to give it to a guy that needs one. Found a coil, cap/dizzy/distributor, many many water and oil pumps, alternator, lots of bolts and brackets. Where did it all come from.

A couple of days ago I picked up 66 pounds of 10ga sheet metal for $10. Thinking about making a plate bumper for the front

I should have taken care of this 6 months ago but I have until the end of the month to get it registered.
So finally tore into the spindle to put in a good CV axle.
I tell you what, some people shouldn't touch brakes...if you don't know what you are doing...ask!!
There are supposed to be 6 bolts holding the rotor assembly...Genius probably started out with 6 but only 4 survived and only one was tight.

Inside of the dust shield is destroyed

Off to the hardware store for the right stuff

just in case


Well the hunko'junk is facing the opposite direction for about the first time in 8-9 months. Drove it around the block to check my front end repairs. Worked fine. My tire plans fell through though. Will pick up some take offs in a few days.

Seeing the front bumper straight on from the front doesn't look as bad as I was originally thinking...we'll see:dunno:

The bumper looks good!

Wish I had robbed my 4WD emblems of my 1st gen pickup before I sold it... live and learn!

Thanks! I might have a couple more around..

No luck finding decent used tires... All the used ones I found around here were overpriced and total crap. Finding take offs didn't pan out either.
I ended up getting a set of new pizza cutters from Discount Tire. A hair over $300 and they disposed of my bald tires. Compared to why I looked at used this wasn't a bad deal. Puts my investment in the truck about $1100

These are some of my favorite tools. Makes life easy when you don't have a big compressor

Had to add some paratrooper being

New tires and all 4 on the ground, these will get me by till the suspension gets done. I went ahead and threw the stock bumper back on in the ease of easy front turn signals for now

It has a little more of the saggy 4runner butt that I remembered but that will get fixed.
Cleaned off 9 months of dirt, etc from the windshield etc. Was happy to find 10-12 rock chips in the windshield so that will need to get fixed too..
Hopefully get it through emissions on Friday...fingers crossed..

Just got back from emissions. *At first it was close to failing for CO, but the lady was cool and said rev it up to 2500 rpms. *A minute later she said congrats you passed.
So good for 2 more years

Congrats. And thanks for reminding me of how thankful I am to live in a non-emissions-testing state.

Thanks, In the Portland Area it use to be 25 year old + vehicles didn't need it (yes this is 22) and my parents house was outside the DEQ area but that changed a few years ago. It would be nice to live where i didn't need to worry about emissions.

After driving this thing for a few days it is nice to be back DD a Toyota.
Engine runs strong but i am seriously thinking of converting to a 5 speed for some acceleration. It would also make adding the dual cases from the 81 easier too.
What it could really use is one of @1UZrunner 's Lexus conversions. If you ever get the chance to look at his 1UZ powered 94 4Runner in person you would swear the install was factory

Yep - no emissions testing and a permanent vehicle registration - the joys of a 25 year old T4R. As far as engine and tranny go, I believe I'll stick with my stock 4 banger and 5 speed; assuming, that is, that inspections of all the important pieces-parts don't turn up any fatal issues.....

So after driving the 4Runner the last few days found the rear windows would go down with the driver's window switch but no go up..had to open the doors and use the rear door switch, pain in the but.
Fortunately I have the complete interior from the free shell a friend gave me. *
Luckily you don't have to pull the entire door panel to swap the door window switchespecially, they just pop out


Cleaned out the replacement and put it into the panel, 10 minutes later I have 4 working windows:hillbill:
​
I wish I had taken a before picture of the interior, not perfect but at least it doesn't look like a homeless camp any more
