    The CatLock 1.0: Protecting Catalytic Converter

    It's a crime in my area that has fortunately dropped considerably, but is more frequent in northern California, Boston, and Detroit. What theives are seeking is the highly valued metals contained in the factory cats such as platinum, palladium and rhodium. I refer to them as "factory" because...

    Ripcord's 2002 4Runner Sport Ed.

    Green with envy, I especially like the Shrockworks bumper... well that and its supercharged. Looking forward to when I will be able to shell out for that and possibly a Persson rear to compliment. You've heard it before but that is an AWESOME truck! :biggrin2:

    The CatLock 1.0: Protecting Catalytic Converter

    Fixed the vibration. It was being generated by the passenger side CatLock cable. Simply had to just move it around to where it was nolonger touching the lower body. Now, I'm good to go with piece of mind and no annoying vibration to remind me its there.

    Engine Stall

    I have not checked the fuel pressure regulator or any pressure leaks in the fuel line. However I went ahead and had the new Denso fuel pump installed. I've been driving the truck for about 3 weeks and so far, it has not stalled, so I assume that it fixed the problem, however I still am...

    Engine Stall

    New fuel filter; check. Due to the extended/hard starts, and now starting to stall without fault, then there is a good possibility that my fuel pump is going out. Yes? Currently I've put 115K on the asphalt. What I may do, is take it to the shop to have its palm read (codes). I was told that...

    Engine Stall

    Yes, purchased in back in September of this year and have completed all the basic maintenance and then some. Right before taking the 800mi trip I changed the oil and filter and before that... DeckPlate Mod - don't believe this would have an affect. Trans Cooler Mod - " " Trans Service...

    3rd Gen 4runner Bumpers

    When I am ready to make the 3K leap. I am personally planning on investing in "Shrockworks" plated for the front and "Persson Motorsports" plated (Custom) for the rear. In additon to appearing to be very well built, they look like they will compliment eachother very well. However, not sure if...

    Engine Stall

    How's it runnin folks! Just recently finished up a holiday trip this past Saturday, the 24th (800Mi). While on the way home (50mi out) sitting in holiday traffic coasting/idling doing approximately 5-10MPH, when suddenly all the dash indicator lights came on as if when you first start your...

    The CatLock 1.0: Protecting Catalytic Converter

    Thanks for the advise and unfortunately, I spoke too soon. The vibration is somewhat still there. So as soon as its cool, I am going to insulate all contact points between cable and vehicle. It's good using left over parts from other jobs; maximizes intital investment. Thanks again!

    The CatLock 1.0: Protecting Catalytic Converter

    Update After driving a day after the install, I encountered a vibration noise while in gear and at idle/stop. Discovered it was a portion of the cable transferring the vibrations from the engine/exhaust to the body. To remedy it, I looked to see for an indicator where the vibration may have...

    The CatLock 1.0: Protecting Catalytic Converter

    Nope not insane, but during the video tutorial created by CatLock. They demonstrate and attempt to cut through the cable with a recip without success. However, cable cutters or even a bolt cutter, that's different. If anything its a deterrent and at least the manufacturer will refund you the...

    The CatLock 1.0: Protecting Catalytic Converter

    The CatClamp, that's the really nice... or should I say SECURE model. A funnel web of cable that one is. Yup, I've read/heard of too many people who decide to invest in a anti-theft cat device after the fact and as I mentioned the holidays are right around the corner. So, theives will be...

    The CatLock 1.0: Protecting Catalytic Converter

    The CatLock 1.0: Catalytic Converter Protection! Hello 4RNRS (3G)! Well, paranoia finally got the best of me. The fact that I visit NorCal (most reported incidents of Cat theft next to Boston and Detroit) from time to time and because I heard last year in SoCal there WAS a big issue with...

    How To: Seamfoam Treament (3Rd Gens V6)

    Thanks fellas... and that's the type comments that will be appreciated by other members as well as myself. The deposits will increase the possibility of clogging the O2 sensor and fouling the spark plugs after treatment. I will note it and leave it up to the individual to perform the...
