Best of luck to you both...!

Hey there 4Runner forum folks...the time has come for me to part with my 4Runner...lots of blood sweat and tears into this one, but the garage needs more space... For sale on the local Craigslist, but thought I would list it here as well... For sale - my former daily driver - 1998 Toyota...

I did this today... http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/140870-airbox-deck-plate-scilencer-removal-mods.html

Exhaust Notes Well, last week I took the T4R into my exhaust shop to have the Aero Turbine muffler installed and some custom bent pipes to be made. I chose not to replace the factory manifolds, or the crossover pipe, but upon close inspection it was discovered that my factory converter was...

ISR Continued... I used the worm gear clamps to keep them in place... All in all, I was happy with the way it turned out. If anything, I would have liked to go a size or two bigger on each of the plugs just for a slightly snugger fit prior to using the worm gear clamps. However the clamps used...

ISR Mod... As stated before, I chose to order "plugs" for my stock intake, and was able to find what I wanted from McMaster-Carr.. Here are the additional parts that I used: 1: #9277K34 - Silicone tapered plug, 2 31/64" large end ID 1: #9277K31 - Silicone tapered plug, 1 49/64" large end ID 1...

Continued... I had a Dremel tool on hand to cut through the air box, but had to purchase a bit for the material, again, Home Depot, Item #080596035242-194. Just used the sand paper drum bit to clean up the edges, and to shave off the inside ribs of the air box surrounding the hole. Some sensor...

I know there have been plenty of posts about these mods, and I thank everyone that contributed...especially those at: Intake Silencer Removal Mod - 3rd Gen 4Runner (2000) - YotaTech Forums I followed the steps listed in the above link and chose the "Option 2" that was suggested for the ISR...

Thanks My approach to anything that needs being repaired is to attempt to upgrade from stock for a few extra bucks... Now a "few extra bucks" is different for everyone... My old man would say $5-$10 is considered a few extra bucks, and still would never spend the extra cash to gain performance...

LoL...figures...

Spring time will force my long overdue exhaust system upgrade, so I ask for forum member's opinions concerning aftermarket items... About the only item I am set on is an Aero Turbine muffler... I have had them on several trucks in the past and love the performance and (admittedly loud) exhaust...

The seals do not have to come out for the axles to be removed... They are so cheap and easy to do, I am floored that they were not replaced... It is possible that the action of removing and replacing the axle caused them to no longer seal properly - especially if they are old... I say have...

:iagree: I agree with this assessment... The axle breather is usually the culprit when premature axle seal failure is evident, so definitely plan to replace that first thing... You can see how nasty my breather was in my pictures... I opted for the reloaction kit so the breather is now...

Looking for a set of hubcentric wheel spacers for my 1998 T4R... Preferably 1.5" or 2"... Any good used ones out there? Found plenty online new...

Thanks everyone... Most everything has come in... I opted for the TRD cooler, going to bypass the radiator all together... I also got a B&M tranny temp sensor/gauge kit to keep an eye on things... I will upload part numbers for those recessed head bolts when they come in... That first number for...
