V8 4runner Oil Pan Leak Hey, did you ever end up removing your oil pan to reseal it? I've been hunting down an oil leak for a while on my 06 V8 and unfortunately it seems to be the oil pan gasket. My mechanic thinks the whole engine will have to be pulled in order to do the fix. So I'm looking...

I don't think he's been back on the forums since posting this originally, I've been waiting for a response as well. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Fantastic build so far, loving the attention to detail and the care you're putting into it! I may be partial though.... I also have a 2006 V8 Sport Edition in titanium metallic from Arizona! Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

On my 04 I had the long tubes and a set of 02 spacers from burtman industries to get away with no CEL. Easy solution that works for most. Basically just pushes the sensor further from the flow of gasses so the gasses seem less rich, just enough to not throw any red flags. I passed emissions and...

There's also Alpha Foxtrot fabrications and Sherpa Equipment company, I'm sure there's others but those come to mind off the top of my head. I also know you can get plans from Silver Rhino Media then have those cut and welded if you're interested in that route. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

I'm running a 1in bodylift, Dobinsons IMS lift with medium weight springs at each corner and the extended travel rear, SPC UCA's, no front sway bar, superpro extended rear sway bar end links, and 2in bumpstop drops. I believe that's everything. I'll start a build thread at some point soon and...

Been meaning to make a build thread on here but haven't quite got around to it yet and don't think I've posted any pics of my rig as of late so here it is with the big boy tires! 285/75r17 KO2's on FN Konig Countersteers, wanted to keep things as light as possible at each corner and I'm glad I...

Hey man don't go knocking the reliability of the V8, it's arguably one of the most reliable engines ever produced. After all it has been dubbed the magical "million mile engine" lol. And it turns my 285/75r17s with ease, no regear needed. But it does get a little sad looking at my mpg so you...

As others have said you should start with trying to find a nice clean 4runner with thorough maintenance records. Being that you're looking at 4th gens (atleast presumably since you've posted in the 4th gen section), you have the option of getting in a V8 4runner... the best of all the 4runners...

I'd never heard of that being the case, that's interesting. I've had both an 04 and an 06 and pricing was similar for the job on both of them, and my mechanic owns his own line of Toyota vvti v8's so I trust his work. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

I had mine done for $678 about 3 months back by an independent mechanic Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Hey man I could be wrong, but looks like you have the lower coil seats upside down. This will cause the coil to not sit properly and bulge out like this as the coil is being compressed far far more then it's supposed to be, especially with those ome spring being longer and stiffer as is. This is...

I'm right there with you on your feelings towards interning and finding a good career path. I'm majoring in electrical engineering and I've always loved engineering but so far with my internships and with the other work out there it seems like it's mostly desk work behind a computer, which...

For springs I have the dobinsons 314 in the front and the 677v in the rear. Don't have any extra weight right now but figured I will in the near future so that's why it's extra tall right now. Also I did the 4crawler 1in body lift instead of toytec for the better quality. So far the dobinsons...
