First time hauling with the 4Runner. Rookie mistake! Hauled two massive couches like a champ though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A pretty cool sight. A third gen Hilux Surf, parked next to my 4th gen here in Texas! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sad to hear this. Thankful I got to visit once and do a few mild runs in my 4th gen. That being said, the “clientele” that was in Moab is a mixed bag when we were there. When we were there, it was overrun with Side-by-sides, 4wheelers, dirt bikes, and people that didn’t seem to be caring for...

Couldn’t agree more, CarPlay is one of my favorite things about my modern head unit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice morning out for a cruise and some supplies! In the shop today for an oil and air filter change! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Picked up! Fresh timing belt, water pump, and had them drain and fill the transmission. Best part - all Toyota brand parts and came with a parts/labor warranty for 12months/12k miles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice find! Looks like a pretty clean example. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dropped off the old silver fox for Timing belt, water pump, and transmission drain and fill. I also asked him to replace the pulley tensioner if they had any in stock! Loved seeing the other V8 4th gen pull in behind me, so cool to see two 15+ year runners still on the road running strong...

Got a quote from my local dealership for $1100 for the timing belt + water pump job, that’s the best one I’ve gotten so far actually. Looks like she will be headed in soon for that! Fair weather cruise photo from the other night! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info! That’s about what I was expecting. I’ve read this as well - one forum post stated to go ahead and change spark plugs. Any other recommendations that you know of for replacement during this same job - I mean if they are gonna be in there, might as well do it. Sent from my...

My coolest mod yet! Been considering doing the timing belt/water pump job before my son comes in a few weeks. Just hitting 200k, my runner is overdue for it. I’ve looked into it - and it looks beyond my mechanical skills. Anyone paid a shop to do this job - about how much should I expect...

Detail day! Still have been unable to locate leak. But I’ve been checking fluids regularly and everything seems to still be normal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t see it being the end of the 4Runner. The 4Runner is one of Toyota’s best selling vehicles, I don’t see them hanging that up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you! I’m pretty proud of it. I can’t take the credit though, I bought it this way. That was a product of my carelessness! Thank you! I’ve enjoyed documenting it!! That’s a good idea. I started from the bottom, but maybe a top down approach will help. I’m hoping it’s not that rear main...
