Just documenting my experience for anyone else who gets to this thread via search and thinks "Yes! That's what I'll do"... The dorman kit I got from Amazon Amazon.com: Dorman 800-151 STEEL FUEL LINE REPAIR KIT. 5/16 IN. x 18 IN. w/14mm FITTING. : Automotive doesn't fit the threads on the OEM...

It's not hard - I figured out how to do it while replacing the cables & motors last year. Heck, if you were anywhere near me I'd just give my my old glass, since the $150 replacement I got from a parts yard came with new glass, and I just replaced the whole thing. For that matter, if anyone...

Sadly, not all 4Rs are going to hit the trail much. Mine's going to end up being my daughter's first car, won't need a heavy duty bumper. The chrome bumper on it now is rusting and cracking (I think it's a cheap eBay replacement). Is there a good source for a near OEM replacement? I've never...

Alternator Replaceed/Upgraded Wednesday the 4R died on my wife while running errands. When I got to it the battery was near dead. It had a whine recently and I suspected the alternator pulley but hadn't gotten to it yet. Jumped & charged for 20m from another car and managed to get it home...

Sorry, took my 4R camping away for a while so I couldn't reply, but you got mtbtim's video linked above and that's what I followed. I don't remember how many quarts exactly. 15 maybe, total? I caught Valvoline Max Life ATF at a great sale price per gallon and got 4. Then I had a hell of a time...

I saw 2 versions of programming instructions when I needed to do this. 1 Version involved turning the key off/on, certain #'s of lock & unlock operations, etc. ( http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/7501-programming-instructions-keyless-entry-remote.html#post60925 ) That never worked for...

Bell cranks are e-brake components, attached to the back of the drum and activated by the e-brake cable. They're basically spring-loaded levers that trigger the brake shoes inside the drum to grab the brake drum (thus applying brake pressure) The in-cabin adjustment is a set of nuts on the...

I'll be jealous if you find both sides in good shape. I got one at a pick-a-part yard for $15 but the other was smashed. Took me weeks to locate another that wasn't chipped, and cost me $55. But now my 98 has the 99's clear lights and better visibility. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

This isn't a hard job, just time consuming. I ended up using a hammer drill to loosen my A-pillar screws that hold in the front grab handles but that was the worst of it. Just go all around the interior removing everything that screws or clips into the headliner: handles, visors, lights, and...

FYI, Using the clock works great. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

In order of destructiveness... 1. Try and knock the rust off with a wire brush to get a good socket fit. 2. Soak em in PB Blaster/kroil. 3. Heat em with a torch, then try while hot. 4. Dremel the nuts off, clean up the threads and replace with new nuts. Mine was like this. I got away with just...

Installed a B&M 70264 trans cooler, and a trans temp sender. Still have to install the temp gauge. Can anyone recommend the best/easiest way to tap into electrical for the gauge? Need constant, switched, ground and dimmer sources. I read the clock bundle of wires works, but only found one...

Received a B&M 70264 cooler to install, but need to go get a longer run of transmission hose first. Plenty of writeups on that already, easy to follow. Also got a MaxTow trans temp gauge. I looked all over and can't find a writeup on that particular gauge, so I'm going to take pictures as I...

I've seen generic strap controls you add to a steering wheel. Kind of depends on IR line of sight though, presuming it works with your system. Not endorsing this or any other, just sharing to give an idea what I'm talking about... Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/112383908154...
