I will soon be back….although, I’m not sure at what point I should start a new build thread, or stick with this one to keep threads down. Tomorrow or Thursday the wife and I will be picking up another 3rd gen. It is a 2001 4wd. We are also now located back in Texas!

It was pretty easy to work on things with the v8 in it. I didn’t note having to pull the engine for anything like that, basic maintenance was easy as if it was meant to be in the truck. Oil changes, spark plug replacement, ect. I didn’t need to pull the engine to replace a water pump either, it...

Dang. What an old thread haha. I’ve been married almost 9 years now, definitely enjoying every moment of it. I think I got what younger me wanted, a family on a homestead with livestock to keep. Been a trip!

So I did a thing this weekend. More or less had to stop once I got everything buttoned up with the exception of my tires being mounted. But I did the manual locking hub conversion. Didn’t want to deal with the electronics on the 4wd so just stuck to the manual hubs. Pretty straight forward. Also...

I did do that but only because my tires were bald and I was making a road trip to Texas. I wouldn’t recommend doing it. Totally fine. I couldn’t have said it better haha

Brian! Nice to hear from you! Yes the v8 is running, right. Is I’m waiting till my wife and I get settled into our new house before I do much else. Need to clean out the garage after that move haha. I’m going through ATF because I got a leak somewhere between my transfer case and the...

Yeah I got it mostly figured out and I’ve been daily driving my truck. It’s pretty much a stock tundra. Next mod is. supercharger.

Hello I have some stock suspension for a 5th gen that I no longer have. It's in good condition. $200 I'm asking and I prefer to keep it local. The truck had 86k miles on it when I took it off. If you are interested shoot me a text at 5-1-2468-5895

As promised here is a video of the 98' yeah I know the drone almost hit the wire but at least it was an "almost" and not a collision haha. Not sure how the quality will be but I know the drone recorded it in 4K @30fps https://youtu.be/9Sa0a3OhzTU Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello forum, got some updates for you. Been rolling around and busy with work but I bought another 4runner for my wife and she loves it. I surprised her with a roof top tent on a custom rack for it! Now both of us have 4runners! Anyways pictures a worth 1000;) Got it yesterday And with the...

Damnit dan I need a rack more than you do haha this is a good deal, if you don't buy it I will

Awesome! I'll shoot you my .mil email

Well looks like I need one of these. Military discount available?? Or maybe a sponsorship?? I need a rack bad bud, and I love this one.

Post revive. Does anyone have a part number for the wire plug for this? I've serched high and low for it and no luck:(

So as everyone knows, I V8 swapped this thing. recapping on that, I feel like it has plenty of power, and I want to focus on getting more things squared away as far as the little things go. some how I developed a leak in the tranny along the way and the power steering now leaks like an old dog...
