Went up to cut down a Christmas tree yesterday, and the 4Runner id better than expected in the snow for the 1st time, I cant begin to tell you how many people in trucks (silverados) got stuck...good times d And no im not stuck, just a good action pic

I was curious as to what some of your guys' Idle is at when your engine is at operating temperature. My 92 3.0 idles at 1200 RPM warm and 1500 RPM cold, seems a little high to me. Thanks for replies

just an idea...but i think itd look better to also either get a matching black license plate cover or paint your existing one to match...:cheers: Looks great though, black goes better with your paint than chrome does

Bump, anyone?

nice runner, i really like it, i may have to look into that kit when i decide to lift, arent those just black covers over the headlights? mine has the clear covers/protectors, you may have just inspired me to have them tinted black though, than at least i can pop them off if i need the...

This seems like a stupid Q, but is there anything for cheap i can do to smooth out my exhaust note, i have a flowmaster 50 series muffler and a straight 2.5" off the header that dumps right behind the rear axle, it sounds pretty raspy under decent acceleration and putts or coughs alot under...

I was wondering if the 2nd gen came with a factory alarm, i ask because theres a red diode in the dash and under the hood there is an alarm horn, if they did what should i do to make it work, do i need a key ring thing with the buttons to activate it or something?,if so where can i get one? I...

You can see those Ford superdutys and Dodge cummins lifted like that all day where I live, I think its more of a "keeping up with the Jones'" thing, to the point of driving a fuel hogging useless vehicle, to tall to even put **** in, And the bulk of them dont tow or haul anything, making a full...

Not to dirty this thread up, but I think some of the repairs i have reciepts for werent neccesary, its had done since 40k: headgasket recall done,radiator, clutch slave cylinder, water pump, timing belt, PS pump,spark plugs,dist. and cap, starter, shocks, front electric window motors, all...

Truth be told it only seems gutless cause its in a ton of SUV, I had the 22re in my old 83 Celica 5spd RWD, and could roast em through 2nd gear, donuts, beat alot of newer cars too, but that is a much lighter car. That engine is by far the strongest cheapest to fx Ive ever owned, I think once...

The single biggest thing i think that would transform that thing from grocery getter to badass would be some offroad tires, 33 or 35's plus a little bit of lift, then your offroad capabilities would be alot better to, liken what your doin with it so far and that grill is nice as well, go 4 it:girl:

Thanks man! More work to come though, needs rock sliders bad now, Im the second owner,( it came with the bumper guard and visor),old lady owned it:D Original paint, though it needs a little help, lucky pics! 92,000 miles

My exhaust is actually even more noticable and a little lower as it is new, Ill have to get a couple daylight side profiles of each side, the side with the fuel tank is really noticable, looks like a storage box that would normally go on top of the roof...i still think its less noticable on the...

mine has green in it,and thats all any of my toyotas ever had in em, but if you ever did need red, go to semi truck dealer or the like, we sell extended life red Cat or Cummins for like $17 a gal. at Freightliner.:whip2:

I used to own a 83 celica with the 22re, I noticed the idle was shifty then on occasion id see white smoke in the rearview mirror, then all of a sudden one day the temp gauge went towards the red quickly and (because it was my only car) i drove it a couple more times reluctantly and the idle got...
