Ahh thanks for the link. Yea it's more a matter of finding the time to remember to do it and find a good place to order the part.

A little of both actually. But at least for now, a mechanic to fix things when they break. I can do some basic things. But I don't know a whole heck of a lot and I need to learn too. So I think when I do upgrades or things for offroad and have the time, I would want to do it myself or have a...

I just got up and running with my '95 4wd classic, and need a good mechanic in the Roseville/Rocklin/Galleria area. I want to make sure everything is up to par and working well. I don't think it is too far off right now. The truck is my daily driver but I live pretty close to work. I want to...

When driving and you roll the rear window down, and realize, damnit now I have to get out and use the key to roll it up. I need to fix that switch.

Finally after all this time, my truck is drivable. The transmission was so bad it had to be replaces. When I called the shops around me I couldnt not find any. So I went to a site referred by a friend and ordered one with a warranty. delivery was supposed to be 5 days but took almost a month to...

Yea thats a nice truck. I have seen a few on the road. Wish I could afford.

Where can I get my hands on that caddy drawer you have in the back. Thats pretty sweet.

now that i have the cash ill be heading to a yard tomorrow that another guy recommended that has a 4runner. If he doesnt have one i found one online new for $1k delivered. Then will have a friend help me install it the next weekend after I have it. Kinda stoked. I really do love how this car...

going to replace the starter, distributor/cap, spark plugs and wires this weekend. And hopefully put a k&n intake on it. I am ordering my transmission tomorrow if the local yard doesnt have one. Will take a week to get here.

hah i just got my 4runner and starter was going out. the only thing i still have in my car is a 12" socket extender. Replacing that stupid starter this weekend. I need to get a hammer.

So iv'e ended up having to to a handful of work. I posted questions in a different post below. I luckily found a local mechanic at a midas i was referred to by a friend, and chances are he also has a 4runner but a '91. So I like the idea that if I need to take it to a shop theres one where the...

I also just remembered. When the transmission mechanic looked at it, he said there was a fuel leak somewhere and it smelled like raw fuel. Has anyone had similar issues and know where might be a good place to start looking for a fix? When I got my oil change/transmission flush they said I...

I am a quick learner and am mechanically inclined. I just don't have a lot of experience working on cars. I can do most basic things. Looking at a youtube video on replacing starter and distributor I know I can replace them. I just need to get some tools. I also have a good friend that is a...

So i got the 4runner, and now after having it some, it needs a new distributor, sparkplugs and wires/tune up, new starter, and a new transmission. the guy never told me that the tranny had a leak and was overheating. I brought the car into my transmission guy and he looked at it. Got it back...

Yea there is a lack of good cup holding in the '95. Not much seems to fit. I was going to go with the ones that clip onto the door where the window is.
