Regarding connectors, I use a couple different kinds depending on the use-case. For low power (~10A) temporary applications, I like to use SAE connectors for both interior and exterior. There's plenty of off the shelf panel mount solutions, including with dedicated switches, that can look pretty...

On my 2006 Limited, all of my gauges read slightly low compared to the values I get out of OBDII. My tach will read about 300 RPM low, my speedometer is 5MPH low, and my fuel gauge is around 1/8 low. It makes me think it might be some sort of reference voltage problem on the board? Anyone have...

Hey guys, sorry for the horrendously late update. I swapped out the new Master Cylinder after taking apart the old one revealed the seals on the pistons inside were completely shot. I could have just gotten new seals but a whole new assy was just $50 so I figured why not. Bled my brakes after...

Thanks for the replies! Is the LSPV that random little brake line that runs from the rear line manifold above the passenger tire all the way across my axle and terminates completely randomly into some booted circle thats bolted to a movable armature on the other side of my differential? Hahah I...

Hey guys, I'm having a weird issue. When I press my brake pedal to maximum, my rear drums activate normally but only for literally half of a second before releasing despite still having the brake pedal down. My front brakes do not lose pressure at all and maintain their hold. I do not believe...

Thanks for all the replies, guys. I like SV_Dude's scenario. That sounds like it could very easily be the case after getting carted around for 2300+ miles. The wind alone was high enough to rattle my CB antenna against the rear quarter panel so much that it not only removed the paint but it even...

Unfortunately, no :( I actually left CT before a driver could be locked on for the transport. The best evidence I have are a picture with a Timestamp before and after transport... But that would never hold up as useable as the vehicle was in my possession for many many hours before I noticed and...

I did and they were just as confused as I was :confused:

Aaaaalrighty then. SO. I just moved from CT to CO and had my vehicle shipped out here and it got here last night. One issue that I discovered is that my odometer is missing 116 miles that were on it when it left CT... I have a picture that has the odometer in it and its unmistakably 218,831 but...

For the horn contacts, follow this walkthrough: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/classic-t4rs/112614-horn-contacts-repair-walkthrough.html I had the same issue on my '86 and replaced the horn itself to no avail (Should have tested the wires electrically >_<). Turns out it was the contact ring. In...

It looks like that more silver colored nut can be backed off a little bit pushing the contact of the button forward so it touches the brake pedal more.

Ah, thats a good idea. I didnt even think of doing that. I just changed my fuel filter about 2 months ago too haha. With my luck though, I'd end up breaking my entire fuel line and have to redo the entire thing :P I know exactly which existing bolt youre talking about too! Though, in your...

Holy crap I want to buy that... And take all the good bits out of my current one and put them in that one! Mine has some cancer spots above the fenders and such :( Theres a few other things that come with its age too but that one on Craigslist looks like it might be in even better condition...

A SAS would be much cheaper than that though using Junkyard gold. I really want to do one in the near future buuuuut I can guarantee the other half wont let me spend that much on my truck... not in one fell swoop anyway heh >_< Has anyone done a swap using only parts scavenged from a scrapyard...

Glad to hear yours is all better, PRdubi :) Thanks for the advice on that, BurningAir. I didn't think far enough into it to realize the grease would inevitably get on the glass! I appreciate the sanity check. I'll pick up some silicon spray from Oreillys this weekend and hopefully I'll have the...
