    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I did rattlesnake canyon about a month ago. Fun trail. I started at the trailhead off the 247 and ended up with all the joshua trees at the top.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I ran it in 4lo monday and saw the 30-40 degree drop after installing the cooler. I was in 4lo the previous week and it was still getting up to 250.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Installed a b&m external trans cooler. Last week i hit 250 routinely while wheeling. Yesterday I barely touched 200, maybe 205 at the highest. Thing works great so far. Fluid still looked in good condition but I'll be flushing that this weekend.

    How long do you let your 4Runner warm up?

    If it's cold,<40, a minute or two. If not, as soon as the idle drops or about 30 seconds. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    I went ahead and flushed it with distilled water. I left distilled water in there, it will only be drive 30 miles downhill to his house, and another 15 miles to the dealership. I figured if he really couldn't recover the coolant, at least there will be a clean slate for him to pour the new stuff in.

    3rd Gen T4R DIY Maintenance, Repair and Modification Videos

    Hey guys, don't know how to ask this so I'll do my best. Brother in law is installing the aircabinman timing belt kit this weekend. I've had a radiator/upper lower hoses/thermostat/coolant sitting in the garage waiting to go in. My dilemma is what to do about the radiator? Should I flush and...

    If you had to drive another SUV instead of the 4Runner....

    I really like the look of the Mazda cx9. They really up their design game the past few years. My wife has had 2 Mazdas, they were underpowered imo, but they were reliable. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    After driving for a couple weeks, giving it throttle doesn't make it any easier. I'm going to be looking into this hopefully in the next couple weeks. Luckily it's not a DD, so it will just sit.

    I'm not sure. I don't recall trying apply more gas. Given that I'm entering a parking spot/driveway, I'm usually coasting for the most part. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Deserts get monsoons and flooding. I lived in Vegas for 5 years and depending on what part of town you lived in, a snorkel would be necessary if you had the vehicle to cross the temporary river.

    How smooth should power steering be? An issue I'm having which I can't find a thread for on the forum is sometimes when I'm turning left at low speeds(entering driveway, turning into a parking spot), my steering wheel gets stiff/borderline stuck and I need to apply extra force to turn the...

    Check the carfax website too. That's where I found my 01 with 100k miles at an audi dealership in henderson NV. It didn't show up on cargurus.
