Hey guys, I hate to beat a dead horse here as I've seen the countless threads about the dreaded P0770 CEL code but I just can't help myself. Original Problems: I started noticing about a month or so ago that it was taking my 4runner higher and higher RPMs to engage lock up when merging onto...

Sweet. Thanks!

Ahh, okay so maybe my scanner just isn't equipped for reading A/F sensors. That makes me feel a little bit better. So if my rear O2 graph is reading what the upstream sensor should be showing (and it's not throwing any other codes) that must mean that both sensors are fine then right? That it...

So I've been troubleshooting the CEL my car's been throwing recently. It's the dreaded P0420 that everyone gets and I've done my research about replacing both sensors and have done exactly that. However I bought an OBD II bluetooth scanner to check my O2 Data and see what the graph of the...

Thanks for all the help everyone. I'll let you guys know what I end up going with as soon as I can afford to spend some extra cash on the 4Runner!

1) As far as I know the rear suspension is original. Yeah I was thinking new springs too. 2) Sweet. I'll just go with Scangauge since I've seen enough good reviews of it. Yeah I didn't mean to clump in spark plugs and wires with the other mods or give that impression, I know they're...

1) So, to be sure I have a clear understanding, you're saying the rear could affect the overall suspension if they are lagging/slacking compared to my front shocks? And I assume you're talking about the regular 5100s here and not the ride-adjustable ones correct? 2) Wonderful. I'll definitely...

Hey everybody, I'm back at modding the 4Runner now that I'm not swamped with as much schoolwork as before. I've got a google document full of things I want to replace/check/fix/mod. A few of the things that I'm trying to get some advice/2nd opinions on are as follows: 1) Rear shocks /...

I don't think I want to use a dremel because the screws aren't exposed past the MAF housing, they're actually further below it. So I'd have to start cutting through the MAF and I would rather avoid that haha I'll try using a drill bit and then walk down the street to find a screw extracting...

Like the title says, I tried to clean the MAF sensor and found that both of the screws that hold the sensor in place were stripped by one of the previous owners. I tried all sorts of different philip and flathead screwdriver sizes as well as duct taping to try and make them fit to no avail. Has...

Yep I currently have a 3/8" socket. Perfect! I had a feeling that was a possibility but just wanted to make sure. Thanks so much.

Update: Now I'm positive I'll need the right sockets since neither the torque wrench nor the breaker bar seem to come with them and my craftsmen 104 piece tool set is meant for a smaller ratchet. I just don't know what sizes I'll need and I don't want to wait until I attempt the job and THEN...

Last noob question guys: Will I need sockets or adapters to use the breaker bar/torque wrench? These are basically the only sockets I have: https://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-9-32104-Piece-Mechanics-Tool/dp/B0051V5B66/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466577548&sr=8-1&keywords=craftsman+tool+set+104...

Hey at least we know it's possible to use a C clamp, even if it's not ideal. Still need help with the sizing of the breaker bar and torque wrench I'll need!

For sure, thanks for clarifying that for me. That probably saved me some trouble! So I just got back from Harbor Freight and bought a bunch of goodies: -Safety glasses -Safety gloves -Impact wrench -Microfiber cloths -6 ton jack stands (x2) -Brake cleaner -Set of chocks (x2) I couldn't find...
