Next was the swapping in a linear clutch spring. I was getting real tired of the squeaking the pedal was making. The mod got rid of the squeaking for a short period of time. I think I need to re-lube or maybe try a different lube, I used a multi-purpose from PB Blaster that comes in a...

Secondly, I swapped in one of the generic Toyota fog light switches for my light bar. Original switch was some tiny clicky thing on an exposed PCB with a couple LEDs on it. It was tucked behind the fuse kick panel and I found it super annoying to use. Took me a few tries to figure out which...

Been awhile since my last update, got around to a decent number of things in the span of time. Firstly, I replaced the janky license plate bezel. The old one had the tumbler epoxied into place all funky, which looked terrible and made it really hard to use the key. It also took a ton of force...

Totally unrelated to maintenence, any of you other Facebook users able to find the 3rd Gen Mafia group? Looks to have been zucked.

+1 to the brake booster calls. The hissing you’re hearing is basically a vacuum leak within the booster.

This is what I needed and more, thanks man!

This is a good point. Didn't even think of the spray pattern. Thanks!

Hey guys, thought I'd make a separate thread for this question. So one of the POs of my 4R swapped the stock airbox for a "cold-air intake" and I'm pretty set on scavenging a stock airbox and hose setup from a yard (dealer still has the box itself for ~$450 new, ugh). Should I go to stock? If...

Last one, I swear. LBJs yesterday. Replaced with OEM and Toyota black bolts (thanks Spiker!). I have a strong feeling these are original and I have about 264k on the clock. Also, I think my transfer case is leaking. Pretty thin oil is coating this plate and it's reaching the ground...

Pretty mundane update, but thought I'd post for the sake of keeping a log: Went to the junkyard a couple days ago and snagged some pieces for my interior. Got to replace the nasty drift-stitched storage panel and found a sunglass holder! The dome light assembly I got it off of even had the...

Gonna separate these posts so it isn't one long intro post. So I bought the truck on Aug 1 in Colorado Springs and drove it to our AirBNB in Denver without a hitch. Two days later I had some spare time and didn't want to drive it across 3 states without a plate, so I tried to take it to the DMV...

Howdy y'all, just thought I'd put together a build thread for my new-to-me '99 4R SR5 5spd 4WD w/ e-locker. I got it a couple of weeks ago during a little road trip to Colorado and drove it back down to LA. This is my first 4Runner and I'm coming from a '90 BMW 535i, so I thought I'd hop on here...

Man, we are just milking this thread for post counts.

Floormats, trying to keep mine relatively stock.

Congrats! Also in my first 4Runner as of last week.
