After some very supportive feedback and some "constructive criticism" I'm dropping this down a little closer to reality. Please reach out if you'd like to talk more. Thank you...

FS 2nd Gen 1995 T4R Limited. Manual Transmission. Montgomery Alabama - $3000 OBO This is a 1995 Toyota 4Runner Limited. It has a DEAD 3.0 liter v6 with a manual transmission and it is 4 wheel drive. The vehicle has 140k miles on it. The brakes are new. The clutch is new. The radiator is new...

The windjammer does pop up. It's a 2 inch plate that runs the width of the sunroof with several oval holes cut in it. Looks 100% factory and it appears to work correctly. 1) I'll post some pictures. 2) I'm gonna pull the front bar (or both) from my roof rack and see if it makes a difference.

Anyone?

It's all good. Your opinion is appreciated. Seriously.

OK Rumme.

I understand your logic and certainly am not arguing it. Here's my viewpoint, if the bad guys want you, they'll get you. I won't give them any details but I am pretty sure my name and city are the easy part. Again, I see your viewpoint, but being in the industry has skewed my perspective.

Agreed. But you can find paranoid people anywhere. :)

So this was a low priority for this new purchase considering my clutch and throttle issues I had to address first but now is the time..... The sunroof seems solid. No leaks. No wind noise when closed. Works great. However, once I open the sunroof more than a few inches the wind noise is deep...

I work in technology. More specifically I deal with online fraud, identity theft, etc. I can tell you that a lot of people are just flat out paranoid of what the Internet is. They think that if you have a userid and it says (for example) "Birmingham" beside it that all the sudden your house will...

I was considering putting it back underneath but I feel like the issue is just gonna come back. I think I'll look for a used hitch mount. Thanks all.

Does anyone have any experience/recommendations with hitch mounted spare tire carriers? My underside was rusted to the point where I had to use bolt cutters and cut the cable just to get to the tire and inspect it. I was considering a mounted (bumper) tire carrier but I get the impression that...

OK. It ended up being a combination of throttle stickiness and adjustment. Adjusting the idle did what it was supposed to do but it still was sticky. After some careful throttle disassembly and reassembly I'm running fine. Thanks all.

Sooo..... For better or for worse the throttle doesn't appear to need adjustment. If I let off the gas pedal the RPMs only drop down to 1500 or so. However, if I go rev the motor via the throttle and then release it the throttle drops to about 1k and I can gently push it down to about 900. Looks...

Thanks Awz. I'll post results tonight or in the morning.
