Hi everyone, I recently upgraded from a 3rd gen and I think I’m having some fuel pressure problems. I suspect it’s the check valve at the fuel pump. Does anyone know if the check valve is part of the pump itself or if it’s part of the complete fuel pump assembly? I’m hoping to have parts on hand...

The other benefit to doing this is that it keeps your mixture ratio correct when you finally fill it with 50/50. There's still plenty of water left in the block when you just drain at the radiator. Even though you got the green out, the remaining clean water will further dilute the mix. I've...

Reading the title of the post, I thought this was gonna look ghetto but I think that truck actually looks pretty good. I suspect it rides pretty rough and stops like crap but it looks clean.

Would not recommend DIY, especially for an 00 limited with a transponder key. I have considerable professional experience as a remote start installer and my 01 limited was one of the most complicated I've done. You're going to need a proper transponder bypass/integration module which will...

Sorry to tell you this since it's too late but you're trying to mount that all wrong. Toyota's use an ISO mount. You remove the brackets from the side of the factory radio, add a universal metra pocket to the underside of your radio and screw the brackets onto both sides of the radio and pocket...

Well, I used a tap as a thread chaser to clean up the threads after having to drill out a bolt but I wouldn't call it retapping, as in changing the thread pitch.

You should be fine with M8x1.25.

Good write up. Thank you. Will use this very soon. Just one thing: the picture you used to show valve cover bolt torque is the same one as the intake manifold torque. This may lead some people to try and torque the valve covers to 13 ft-lbf. I think it's supposed to be much, much less. Or...

I moved here from MN and brought my runner with me. I've been slowly removing rusty parts but I'm not worried about a little Salt 1-2 days out the year. You only need to worry about salt if they use it 5 months of the year. I don't know yet if I'm amused or annoyed by the people going 5 mph on...

Your explanation is not quite right. Though I have no doubt that your understanding of it comes from googling that phrase. Unfortunately your results will come mostly from people who do not understand the nature of gain. It's not an art, so I agree there. But it is also not a power knob or...

I would say antenna relay plug. See this image of the relay: Should be obvious if your power antenna doesnt work.

1999 4Runner rebuild I could use the fuel tank skid plate, spare tire and spare tire holder mechanism, and maybe a charcoal canister. No hurry for them so if you want to finish your build first, I'd be interested in these if they are left.

Is that the green one that was on Craigslist from the MT hood for a while? Either way, what's your plan for leftover parts from the donor? I'm in Hillsboro and could use some stuff that I think you may not use.

I've been able to get the oil filter off and on by going in from the top and just reaching under the alternator
