1999 4Runner 3.4l auto with 275000km (170000mi). Trying to help a friend out. Driving at highway speed truck backfires and dies. Towed to dealer and a timing belt and spark plugs replaced. Dealer couldn't get the 4Runner running. After a few weeks it was towed from the dealer to an independent...

Dude! I should send you a pick of my late production 1999 Pathfinder. See what kind of "magic" you can do with the rust on it. BTW, I live near Kitchener, Ontario. Let's just say it is very religious. Just a little comment on those silicon squeegees. Doesn't matter how clean you think your...

Forgot about this one because I haven't used it in a long time. There is always the less evasive CLR trick. Same as above minus all the safety gear, substitute the acid for CLR and you let it sit over night.

Just Weighing in here So I am assuming you are replacing the heater core due to lack of flow and not leaking. Here is a neat inexpensive fix that works 99 times out of 100, and a little dangerous. Flush the heater core. Don't use any crap at the auto parts store, use muriatic acid. With the...

Looking for the license plate light assembly shipped to Ontario, N0B1E0. Thanks.

Looking to find some answers here. I have been all over other forums trying to find a few answers to my questions with no results. I figured someone here might have some experience with flat paint, so here it goes. I have a friend with a project car that he wants to paint flat black. It does not...

Yeah the side latches that keep the tailgate closed are not operating.

Went to open up my tailgate today. Window rolled down, pulled the lock up and lifted the handle and... Nothing. Gave the gate as little jiggle and tried again... Nothing. Both latches are not operating. Anyone else have this problem. Too cold and wet today to be removing the panel to see what...

Any Toyota would be better a Saab, and in the early 2000`s GM + Saab = Junk. LR Disco? Wow. There is a reason why owners of Land Rovers ditch their rides as soon as the warranty is up. You will be much happier with a Toyota. Make sure it gets a little TLC once in a while. Just warn your wife...

Had a few friends use RED TEK12a. They claim it works better than R12. R12 is not available here and is not to be installed at all. I don`t know what is in the Red Tek, but it says it is hydrocarbon based (read explosive properties). R134a conversion works mediocre on 1993 and up due to the...

Looks good so far and a great idea, but not trying to burst your bubble. In you first pick you showed 2 subs facing each other. That means when you have them both on sound cancellation will happen and it will sound like crap. If your are just mounting one, keep going!

Changed my valve cover gaskets last year on my 88. Took almost three hours! Somehow I managed to get every bolt and nut in the right spot, but stupid me forgot to get a PCV valve before I started. Changed the valve later. I hate changing them with the upper intake on.

Just fell on this thread. Not too keen on blood red for a colour, but that ride looks damn fine. Many hours of love in that one. Congrats on building a gorgeous Toy. Definitely envious. BTW. Many years ago I think I saw a white wolverine. At the time I did not pay much attention to it. (It was...

Any one tried one of these and how well do they work? Toyota 4Runner Bikini Soft Top (1984-1989) | eBay

Does the hard top come off? Any one find it it green?
