Is your transmission all gummed up? How long has it been since you changed the fluid and filter? If that's not it, I would have the solenoids checked and bands tightened. That's the extent of my knowledge of automatic transmissions.

Same, pre-cat is my only oxygen sensor

Sorry Joe, Orange County CA, not FL

Did you notice any boost in mileage? And what about the stock muffler? Do you still have it on?

Check the coolant bypass line that runs underneath the intake next to the fuel pressure regulator. My hose rotted out and leaked out just enough coolant so that it pooled up a little bit and then ran off the back of the engine. Thought it was a head at first until I saw the leak from my...

My 95. All stock, sitting on 30" tires...no biggie. Waiting to see if this thing will make it to Minnesota before deciding if I'm gonna keep it haha. If it does make it, planned projects include a 4x4 conversion, bigger tires, and putting a couple more stickers on it, but only if I wanna...

Anyone know if the shift knob from an earlier model can be put on the 95? The style that was put on my 4Runner rubs my leg when I drive (and not in a good way) so I wanted to swap it out for the fighter plane-esque shift lever. If it is possible, anyone got a spare one laying around off a...

No, no smog control where I am moving to. Thanks for the input DC Runner. I have only one sensor and it is pre-cat so I am not too worried about it. I didn't expect a huge gain in mpg, but I figured that since first of all it is the factory cat and second off my stock muffler has a huge...

Are there any performance problems from removing the cats off a 3.0? My muffler has a pretty big leak and the exhaust pipe is dented and damaged from off roading. Since I'm moving out of state, I had decided to remove the cat as well and just put on a Thrush exhaust. The only thing stopping...

Hey guys, I've got a very small leak on the top driver side where the little mounting bracket meets the actual radiator. Is there any steel putty or Goop or anything that could work as a temporary fix? I would just replace the radiator but cash is tight right now. I just need something to...

I'm selling the running boards off my 95 4Runner. If anyone wants them let me know. They are in good shape, plastic is just a little faded. I have all the mounting bolts and most of the trim fasteners (missing one or two). I'm located in north Orange County, CA. $50 and they're both yours.

Hey guys, I'm having a hard time changing my fuel filter on my 95 4runner. To be honest (and with quite a bit of embarassent) I cannot even find it. Can someone give me some super detailed instructions on how to find it? Or maybe a couple pictures showing things around it? I swear I have...

Thank you sir, much appreciated

Are taller coil springs made for this 4Runner or would I need to take rear coils off a different vehicle? I thought I have heard that Landcruiser rear coils work but wasn't sure if that was true or not. Thanks

Hey all, new here and had a quick question. I've got a 95 4runner, 2wd, 3.0 and I was wondering what other springs I could put on the front and rear to give it a little lift. The front sags a little, the rear sags a lot. Is there any other vehicle's springs that fit with little or preferabbly...
