I haven't been here since 2016, back when I had my 2nd gen SR5. Last weekend I picked up my first 3rd gen. An '01 Sport Edition with 303K miles. I bought it not running. The seller said it had a full rebuild on the heads and timing belt were done at 260K from a shop. It started throwing...

So, I've been driving her for a week and a half now. I've driven just over 350 miles and she doesn't even burn oil! I'm a proud mama. I need to get a new pinion seal but that's all I really need as of this exact moment. She needs an alignment and brakes eventually but she drives fine, I've even...

Preventative work, mainly. We would rather seal everything we can while it's out rather than find out down the road that it's leaking in a hard to reach spot.

A lot of people have done it, and my boyfriend has done it, it kind of lifts the vehicle and gives it more ride height, gets rid of the sag in the back. I've ridden in a runner with them and without them and they do make a difference. We've "smashed whoops" in the desert with the runner that has...

& my favorite part of this whole entire project? I've spent less than $2,000 on the entire ride so far - from the moment I bought up until I registered it. Score!

That's It! She's Ready! I've been away from T4R.org for a while now, for various reasons. Just thought I would bump my post and give an update!! So as of this past Friday (9/9/2016) She is registered and Smogged! She's ready! On Saturday I replaced the window regulator... which was an entire...

I cranked over the engine for the first time and took her for a short cruise down the street <3 Still need to register/insure it, put cat/exhaust on, fix water pump leak that decided to show up, and a few other cosmetic things. She's a runner!

Well, It's official! She's a runner! I have a video on my instagram missyroar We aren't done yet though. Found a leak in the water pump that we have to fix, need to put cat/exhaust back on, need to get it smogged, and registered (it's currently non-op) Then everything else is mostly...

Nice ride! I have a similar story, except I'm still waiting on the part where it becomes mine.... My grandpa bought a brand new '92 T4R for his dying wife, it was her last wish to have a brand new 4Runner. She died 2 years later and my grandpa had it for many more years. My uncle went through...

My daily is a 2012 Nissan Sentra SR. I bought it with 4k miles. I've owned it for just over 3 years and I now have 75k miles. Honestly all I've done to it is change tires and replace oil. I am actually buying the NS-2 CVT fluid to do a drain/fill soon. Here's my thoughts. It seems like I got...

Thanks! I feel like I'm almost there, yet I feel like I'm so far away!

Lots happened this weekend on my girl. Link to build thread is in my signature. :)

July 31: Big Day! Yesterday was a big day! We got a new Rear Main Seal New Freeze Plugs (the one pictured actually has a hole in it.. cool.) Copper Spray on the new head gaskets Heads on and torqued! Oil cooler cleaned / new hose attached Oil pan on - boyfriend gave it "race stripes"...

haha! Thanks. She's definitely clean. I love her so much already and she doesn't even run... lmao!

My T4R has a back window, but I can tell it's been replaced before. The replacement window is not tinted and does not have defrosters. The rest of the vehicle's windows are tinted and I have a back defroster button so I know that it's not the original. I already have another back window...
