Did the valve cover gaskets and timing belt yesterday, along with some other parts. Went to drive it this morning, and was greeted with a nasty smelling sauna. The heater core has been seeping the last couple of days, it just decided to take a dump not 24 hours after all this work:tsk: On top...

Since Josh just happens to have a sunroof and headliner for a good price, 3rd gen rep is safe for another day;):

I havent worked on the 4runner a whole lot. I work late on week days, and am in the process of moving, but enough excuses. The headliner was soggy and ruined, same with the carpet. Before: During: After: I am relieved to find no rust issues from that wet carpet. There is very little...

Some seat belts without mold stains would be nice, if you still have a set available. I definitely plan on keeping this one! Short term plans should be far less than $6000, unless i get this raise I've been working my ass off for:wof: Thanks! I thought it would be at least a few more years...

Nice rig, I will have to keep an eye on this! I have a red 2nd gen as well:biggrin1:

Gave it a basic look over on the hoist and changed all fluids. I found a leaky axle seal, and it appears that the half moons and back of the valve cover gaskets are the main contributor to the motor oil leak. I got tired of the crushed front end pretty quick, so i did my best to repair what...

Thanks guys! I tried to make a lot of progress today, that didnt work out so well. Started off at the licensing dept. with the obese grumpy woman telling me i need estimates, pictures, etc. to transfer the title:der:. I will go back next weekend with the paperwork filled out by the PO...

I have spent countless hours lurking on T4R for the last couple weeks in anticipation of buying my next 4runner. I picked up my first 3rd gen 4runner tonight! It was going to be an engine donor for my 2nd gen, but i dont have it in me to tear her heart out. Im sure it seems like a pile of...

Wheeled Naches last weekend. Still bone stock. The 4runner did awesome, i made every thing i tried, which includes 676 at 4 in the morning, funny rocks, and moon rocks. Not once needed a tug or winch. I was very suprised my stock rig made it so far. It was a good challenge with open diffs. I...

Took my 4runner out for the first time a couple weeks ago to explore stevens pass and go shooting. Did fine for a bone stock rig, but i didnt try anything to crazy, because i was alone except for my buddy riding shotgun. We wandered across whats known as The Old Cascade Tunnel. At the time we...

Good to know, I hate warped rotors:mad:

Spent the weekend at the shop doing some work. Changed ALL fluids. Greased all fittings. Repacked wheel bearings. Tightened the output flange on the t-case. Put in a new, MUCH more powerful interstate battery(mtp 24) and replaced the terminals. Pulled trim, running boards, fender liners, and...

I dont spend much time on forums anymore, but i will be sure to keep the thread updated. When i get the motivation to work on it, i have a set of OME coils to toss in. My buddy who i got them from said they were heavy duty stock height coils. I guess we will know he is wrong if it ends up life...

AI sold the motor from it for 750, the front axle for 250, a few various parts for a couple hundred dollars, and i am still waiting to post the 5.71 diffs for sale. With that money i moved into my own place. I needed a daily driver, so i sold the 81 and bought a 1994 4runner for $2500. It came...
