Hey guys, found a 1989 Toyota Pickup, 5 spd, brand new tires on it for $675, body average with a little rust. It needs a shift fork replaced. Anyone know how much this should cost me to do myself/what I need to do? A write up would be great/advice on whether or not to buy,thanks!

Hey guys, looking at a 1995 toyota 4runner with a blown headgasket. If it was already taken to the dealership and had it replaced under recall once and since then blew, can it be done by them again? Thanks a lot.

If your having a second child you should probably save your money for the kid! haha If you still like your runner I say keep it and save the money, that really is a lot of money, we're not talking a couple grand here. Get a thule or something if you need the additional cargo space, besides that...

how did you get a clunkers vehicle? I thought those HAD to be crushed... I saw so many that I would have wanted,lol

Body is in OK shape. Not bad, but not amazing. It was hit in the back about a year ago so it has a brand new hatch, chrome rear bumper, tow hitch which is a plus. The front windshield has a crack in it and the wheel well mold has a good scrape in it from what looks like be side swiped in a...

Thanks a lot for the info, problem is I cant really investigate too much because it is not mine yet. I found a 97 t4r with a blown headgasket with 240k on it for $400. I want to pick it up and fix it, but I dont have thousands to invest into it. Trying to figure out if its worth my money or...

Hey guys, wondering if any of you know of any good write ups/manuals to get to help walk me through a head gasket repair on a 1997 Toyota 4Runner w/ the 3.4 v6. Any walkthroughs, or advice/list of materials to get would be great. I have found several different headgasket kits available but dont...

Hey guys, wondering if you could give me a heads up on anything to look for on a 1997 t4r with 240k miles on it, automatic tranny 3.4 v6. How do the transmissions on these things hold up? Anything major I should look for would be great.

bump for any more advice with regard to the actual repair!

I asked an he said that it was not salvaged, I dont think they even went through insurance. Anyone want to do me a favor and run the VIN through carfax that has it?

Haha ok will do, I am pretty sure I am going to buy it, just making sure I dont get excited, buy it, then be like "oh crap, I cant afford to fix this". I should be ok though, what it needs to be in good shape is the headgasket, new front seats,(anyone know where to get some? found some decent...

Hey everyone, made my first post already in the 3rd gen section about a T4R I may be purchasing. I was curious if you guys could explain how the 4x4 system works. I have a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder in the past but I believe it is a different system, any explanation or maybe a link to some faq's and...

I was going to be picking it up for around $400, not in the thousands. Seems like it is insane for these suvs. Like I said he just is sick of putting money into it, can't afford to have the headgaskets done so he just wants it off his property. How much does it generally cost to have heads milled?

Yeah,I feel like the price is crazy. I could easily part it out for a good bit more than that I'm sure,just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into

Hey guys, had a quick question for you toyota 4runner experts. I came across a 1997 Toyota 4Runner, automatic V6 fully loaded w/240k miles. In pretty decent shape, good tread on the tires,probably 80%, was hit in the back about 2 years ago but due to that has a brand new chrome rear bumper...
