Thanks for that heads up, guess I'll just reseal the axles on the 97. It Looks like I won't be able to use as much off the 02 as I thought.

If I can keep the power bases, I think I will swap the seats out. Maybe I can use some fabric dye/paint? As for the exhaust, the cats on the 02 were fried and when I tried to swap them out I made a huge mess and had to cobble it back together and just lived with a horrible exhaust leak. That...

Swapped the 02 engine into the 97 today. The exhaust manifolds are different, but the 02 mounts still lined up and fit. I was worried because Toyota has different part numbers for the 97 and 02. So looks like what I’ll need to keep from the 97 is the exhaust manifolds, injectors and intake...

New 4Runner Wasn’t today, but I just picked up a 97 4Runner Limited 4x4. Engine is blown, leather seats are shot, but everything else works. With some TLC I really think I can bring the paint back, and except for the seats the interior just needs a good cleaning. Picked it up for $750, a steal...

o2 Simulator Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum. This past weekend I came across the o2 simulator thread and decided to give it a try. I soldered in the resistor and capacitor and was able to get that pesky cel light off. I have every intention to fix the actual problem, I just got sick of...
