A little spendy but a sweet setup! http://eugene.craigslist.org/cto/868403285.html I've been talking him down for the last couple of days, we'll see how it goes! If things work out I'll get it finalized by next week!

I'm not sure if this is right, I'm no expert, but I heard something about transmission fluid being a lot less viscous than normal lubricant, and therefore it tends to get sticky in very cold situations. I'd try changing out the transmission fluid. If you're in a real cold climate, it might just...

Is it a stick or automatic? If it's a stick, your might have blown your clutch out, if you engage the clutch and give it gas and you don't move, and your engine revs like you're in neutral...I'd start there. If it's an automatic...well...take it to a shop, pay someone 45 bucks to do a half...

Great thread! One of the best, there isn't even a recent thread like that in yotatech, well done! That'll be one of the last things I do on my Runner but I'm sure I'll get to it.

Okay, so I'm looking into buying a 1985 4Runner with 30K miles on the engine, a 3" lift, XO cage, 9,000 LB Ramsey winch, a set of studded tires as well as some almost worn out knobbies, and new clutch. It's going to put me back $4,250. The bad: Worried about the missing turn signals rusting out...
