Yeah, all third gen 4runners, 96 and on, should be OBD II driven.

It should be the same, but if not, It would be quick enough to build another one for the 5vz. The 3rz mates to the W59. I work at a camp and conference center, so I typically work weekends, but I'd love to hit some trails sometime. Just let me know if you want an extra pair of hands to wrench...

Sounds like a good quick solution. I'm glad I did the cradle so I had control, cause I'm pretty lightweight and all limbs, so me on my back holding up the transmission would be a bad deal. Did you use that at a shop or do you just have a lot of toyotas through your driveway?

Hey guys, last summer I needed to replace my clutch on my 99 runner. Reading all the write ups, I found people either buy a dedicated transmission jack, which was money I didn't want to spend, or they use the floor jack and 2x4 method. Everyone said that the 2x4 method worked, and they hated it...

Hello from Hebron! Yeah, my landlord and I have a great relationship. Our town's plow guy has been pretty busy today, so this is a rare occurance. He should be by later this evening with sand. (We're on Newfound Lake, where we're really concerned about chemicals getting into the lake, so we...

Hello all. I need some advice to go from theory to practical application. My apartment is at the top of a hill, with a steep grade. It's steepest point is about 45%. Being NH, we have naturally occurring springs at the top of said hill, which, of course, means that all winter long there is a...

- on another note, I just replace my spare tire under the runner because the original was full of dry rot. Looked a lot like your tire. :P

I've seen tread age like that between the blocks. If you don't drive on ice and need the cold weather grip, aren't taking corners like an sti with pirelli's, and aren't speeding down the interstate like the General Lee, I'd imagine they will give you a couple more years of good use. However...

Yeah... I don't have any pics of the process, but as you can see there are two parts to the latch. The Junkyard '97 part was not identical to my old rusty '99 latch, as you can see, but the pieces worked together perfectly, so I don't think it mattered.

I don't think there are any guides, schematics, or writeups, but it probably doesn't need one. Mine was completely rusted out. 1 junkyard and a couple hours later (it was really rusty) It worked like new. Just pop the hatch. You have to remove the plastic trim, which isn't too bad - there are...

I replaced the clutch and got it all back together. The previous owner had put in an exedy clutch and the metal plate had shattered in a small section. Got it all back together with a floor jack and a scrap wood cradle, charged the battery, filled up after two months, and she shifts like a...

Not much help here - I bought my truck missing that panel piece. Never knew what it looked like until I saw this diagram. Good luck!

I bought a used runner. The previous owner was a big guy and the driver's seat was extremely worn. I didn't have time to hunt down new seats, but I did have a spare mattress padding and a knife. I placed the foam several places and sat down before I decided on this pattern. I put...
