It runs pretty good, idle is steady around 650 when in drive. I can hear a ticking when at higher revs that sounds like it could be valve related, doesnt sound like an exhaust leak. May have smoked a valve when i had a big exhaust leak that i didnt fix for 8 months. Sent from my iPhone using...

Posted this in the 3rz only thread but i got nothin so figured i'd repost. Im a 3rz 4runner owner and mine has been running very rich for a while now. You can smell it while driving around town with the windows down, it's definitely gas. Thought it was my exhaust leak at first so i replaced my...

So im a fellow 3rz owner and mine has been running very rich for a while now. You can smell it while driving around town with the windows down, it's definitely gas. Thought it was my exhaust leak at first so i replaced my manifold with a header. Stopped the leak but still ran rich. So i replaced...

Upstream or downstream? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone, '96 4banger. So whenever I drive with my windows down, I can smell a loooooot of fuel, obviously its running rich. I've also been getting pretty bad gas mileage which indicates running rich. And I've also been throwing a P0136, which from what ive read means that I need to replace...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Im about to pull the trigger on a LT second gen, already has coilovers and all, so no worrying about torsion bars. Looks really solid, only thing im worried about is a 3vz with a little over 210k. I see a rebuild or 5vz swap in my future. And its only 2 years...

Currently DDing a lifted '96 4runner, its a 4banger on 33s, auto trans, so of course its slow, but regardless i like it a lot. But ive Been thinking about getting a v6 manual second gen, like a '94 or '95. Only real bad thing i hear about the 3vz is the head gasket. My logic is that if I spend...

Looking to part ways with my amazing 4Runner, i've loved this thing for the time i've had it but I'm in need of a real pickup truck for work. It just passed over 190k miles and runs like a top. Paint is brand new so the exterior looks flawless. Auto transmission with J-shift 4x4. Power door...

Wait a second, i interpreted that totally wrong. My bad[emoji23]. I thought you meant you were gonna try and retrofit the entire fog light+fixture from 99+ into a '96-98 bumper. Cause in that first pic you posted it looked like you had the stock 96-98 bumper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm interested in this as well. Would be very nice to have fog lights. I checked before and found that the '96-98 and '99+ fog/turn signal stalks are different sizes, would require some modification to make it fit. Or you could just swap a 99+ fat lip bumper with fogs Sent from my iPhone using...

Do you have the rear bumper side pieces? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope, the actual lever isnt wobbly at all (i put all 4 new bushings in already), but the actual grip with the button on top wobbles a little on top of the shifter. Shouldn't matter though. And i tried adjusting the linkage underneath, which only made the problem worse. Sent from my iPhone...
