LOL sure!! Rub it in!! I'm just going to pretend I didn't read your post. :lalala:

I've checked all of the local junk yards and even hit the pick n pull every time they have a 2nd gen runner listed and none of them ever seem to have a hitch.

Just a quick question....Will a 3rd gen hitch fit our second gens? I couldn't find a solid answer anywhere and i must have spent 3 hours searching. It appears that everything is identical in the rear frame wise but I'm not 100% positive on this. I've looked for months trying to find a used...

Did my whole steering rack a few months ago. Idler arm was easy but the pitman arm was a beast. I broke the puller trying to get it off. Best thing to do is soak it with a really goo penetrating fluid i.e. PB Blaster ( I used the AmsOil penetrant). Let it sit, soak it some more, let it sit...

Another thing to check (I know its pretty obvious and you may have already checked) would be your battery connections. They may seem like they are making a good connection when in reality they are not and may have some small amount of corrosion keeping them from making proper contact. Also If...

No, hes a short skinny guy with tats. I haven't heard back from him, and I've tried calling him a few times. Don't know if he traded his mind or what. Kind of stink s because I really need the truck. I just found some detrimental rust on my frame. I don't think its going to pass inspection.

Anyone else want to chime in with thoughts?

Yes, when you remove the lower hose, TS and the TS cover you will basically be draining the whole system. All of the coolant in the radiator will drain out as well as the coolant from the block. I would replace the old TS and gasket then refill the cooling system with 50/50 antifreeze and go...

Sounds like they're jerking you around. I just did my water pump, thermostat, and radiator so i had all of the coolant drained and didn't have nay issues filling it up or having it overheat. The way i filled was, I disconnected to upper radiator hose from the radiator and lured coolant into...

You are correct. The guys wife wrote the add for him and didn't know any better. Its stock ride height with some no name brand all season tires.

Found this: 1991 Toyota 4runner 4x4 I went and looked at it and its in great shape. Interior looks good, no rips or tears, frame and everything underneath looks good with NO rust to speak of. Body had no dents or dings, the only rust is in the rear wheel arches under the chrome trim. Power...

Thanks to everyone that has replied. But my question is still unanswered. I know what a torsion bar is and how it works. Maybe I asked the wrong question. Instead of asking what cranking a torsion bar means please explain how you would crank a torsion bar. I have had to remove torsion bars in...

I've been looking into doing a small lift on my T4R. I don't want anything major and want to be able to keep the IFS. I seen a lot of talk about cranked torsion bars and I don't know what this means. I'm still pretty new to the 4x4 scene so any help or advice would be great. I've been looking...

If anyone has any questions or comments please feel free to add or ask them. If I left something put you are more than welcome to correct it.

Now that the belt is off you need to remove the cams so that you can get the backing plate off in order to replace the upper water inlet and idler pulley. I used a long 1/2 extension with a 10mm socket on it, pressed it against one of the bolts on the backing plate while my buddy cracked the cam...
