I've got a 1995 4runner and recently changed the valve cover gaskets as well as a few engine gaskets on the rig. Before doing this the truck ran just fine. Besides a few of the "18 year old truck problems" problems she ran perfectly. Now when ever I try to turn her over she wont. I took the...

Yeah I looked into a lot of the grille guard stats and reviews. I'm definitely second guessing my thoughts on getting one haha. Has anyone found a good roof rack for their second gen? Mine didn't come with a factory one so from what I understand that again is going to limit my options.

Also somewhere that has a good variety of product. I'm thinking about a grill guard and new skid plate a roof rack. Things like that you know? Aesthetic things haha

I've been looking around and I can't seem to find a website that has a decent inventory of 2nd gen parts. I probably missed something but can anyone point me in the direction of a reliable source for aftermarket parts?

When everytime you roll the rear window up you wonder if this is the time that the motor gives.

The thing is I want a reliable truck more than I want an offroader. I mean don't get me wrong I love 4x4s but for right now I'm going for fuel economy and functionality. Maybe eventually when I get "rich" I can afford to make her into a harass offroader but for right now I just want to know how...

So do what COB did? Haha, yeah that would be pretty awesome. It just sounds like an awful lot of work. I think I'll need to find another driver for the time span of that project. But thank you for your reply. I really like the truck already even as a automatic 2x4.

Yeah well as far as my tool supply goes it's pretty limited on advanced stuffed but I have basic sockets and wrenches stuff like that. I'm also relates harper7 and he should be able to show me the ropes a bit. I'm just a little down on cash right now but when I get some funds I'll make sure to...

Okay so some of you might have read my other thread, but if not then here's a little info about my situation. I have a 95 V6 auto 2x4 and I need to do some maintenance on her as I just bought her and would like to start "fresh" in a manner of speaking. So I have 2 options. I could pay a bit...

Yeah I was looking a COB's conversion earlier and I have to say I'm quite impressed. Anyways, one of the things thats going on with the runner right now is I need to get a new valve gasket cover for both sides. I've looked around and it will cost me about $200 for parts and labor given I have...

No, I haven't had a chance to run a tune-up or anything else on her yet. I'm hoping to get a bit of cash next week so I should be able to afford it then. But as far as the head gaskets go I'm not sure. I do know that the valve cover gasket needs to be replaced soon. From what a few mechanics...

So I already posted this is the Classic 4runner section, but if I know anything about forums only a few people will go there haha. Anyways, I just want to introduce myself so I figure I should put myself where people will see me. Hey guys. This is my first post on the forums so be gentle...

Hey guys. This is my first post on the forums so be gentle haha. I recently stole a 1995 4runner for $1300. It's an automatic V6 2x4 with 147k on her. She's definitely seen better days but in all honesty it's not a bad truck at all. My goal is to take her and make her into the most fuel...
