Thats not too bad. Completely repairable. Put on a nice muffler while you're at it. Check out the jeep wrangler forums for their rust repairs. It will make you feel better :cheers:

Your steering rack guide bushing was replaced??? Its probably too tight... Loosen it out a tad and see what it feels like. Also, were the lower ball joints oem? If not they could be bad already. I had some aftermarkets on for 3k miles before my steering started acting like that and come...

I only got a tiny bit of foam crumble from my 220k mile seats when i pulled covers up. You can pull back the covers partially and slide the heater pads in. On the bottom of the seat you will have to cut the hold down fabric across the center to allow the heater pad to slide all the way to the...

I have used the seat heaters 3 times this week here in Ohio! They are wonderful! Its just a $60 ebay kit...you can install in cloth seats just the same. Very simple wiring but a tad more involved to get the heaters inside the seats.

Installed new leather bottom and added heated seats...just in time for spring/summer ha!

For all 17yrs your 4runner has been on salt roads or just since you've owed it? Both runners ive owned have been in the salt their whole life. Body panels are perfect, frame looks good besides minor surface rust on welds... but right at the brackets on the frame they have been eaten out from...

Washing and spraying your frame off to keep this under control isnt really a solution to this frame rust problem. These frames are rusting inside out in the same area. Salt is collecting in that area of those rear brackets. Not much you can do besides attempting to spray water through those...

I have had two of these runners with over 220k on original ball joints and are fine

Nothing to do with old bolt and everything to do with proper torque. Unless you use the special crank pulley hold tool or bind the flywheel to keep things from turning you arent gonna properly torque it to 220lbs... Or you can do like most and impact it to probably 400lbs haha...its not gonna...

Pretty much just buy walmart supertech synthetic unless i can get something else cheaper with rebates :)

I switched to synthetic on both of the 220k+ runners ive had that have had regular their whole life and no issues at all...

I switched to synthetic on both of the 220k+ runners ive had and no issues at all...

5k no doubt

The 00 Limited 4wd i picked up for $700 with blown radiator and few other minor issues. 220k and runs and drives awesome! With all the repairs and tires i still have a less than $2000 truck :rockon:
