Hey folks - I posted an intro post about 7 months ago before leaving the country for 6 months, so thought I would re-intro and get back into my Runner. I'm in Seattle, WA, and I've got a 1994 T4R 4WD, AT (that I would LOVE to lift, but wow is it hard to find a lift kit for an Auto...)...

I am one of those radiators.com people, they had it to me overnight and it swapped in perfectly for about 150 bucks all told. EBay the light fixtures - there are SO many Toyotas out there being parted (because there are SO many Toyotas). I've purchased all kinds of light fixtures for my 94...

SO as some of you noticed, I just replaced my radiator in my 1994. All seems fine, running as well as ever, except for one problem - the gauges have lost their freaking mind. Both the water temp and oil pressure gauges now just wander back and forth as I drive, with no relationship to the RPM...

Sorry I don't have any info to add on the topic, but man that Homestarrunner handle cracks me up.:offtopic:

Thanks for the tip - I ordered it yesterday from Radiator.com since (after yelling at the guy) they got it to me in less than a day for 150. Should go in tonight, so excited to have my baby back.:jump:

That's my thought too - I initially thought, hey, I'll definitely take aluminum over plastic. But it's $30 cheaper so made me think twice. I've got a 94 SR5 with 4wd and it seems way easier to find plastic endtanks than aluminum, vice-versa on 2wd models.:moping:

One further question - what's the thought behind Aluminum or Plastic Endtanks? I notice aluminum is a little bit cheaper, and certainly looks shiny, but is plastic going to hold up better? Reasoning behind price difference? Thanks again.

90ToyTruck, I LOVE the stance of your Runner! Thanks for the welcome everyone!

I'm 6'1" and my buddy is 5'9", we BOTH slept in the back of my GEN2 at all the concerts we went to this summer. Wasn't too bad at all.

Thanks to both - I got some terrible quotes locally today in the area of 500 dollars, they can sit on that and spin! I'll do her myself, can't be any more difficult than a motor swap on the old Cougar - just working alot these days and the apartment manager yells when I disassemble vehicles in...

NICE truck! This is terribly similar to the direction I'm wanting to head with my '94.

Hey There -- New guy here (to the forum, not to my T4R). I've got a 94 V6, and my radiator took a dive. Any recommendations on what to use? I see a broad spectrum from $120-300, and not sure what to go with. Is it a gigantic PITA to replace? Thinking of doing it myself this weekend. I...

Hey There -- Name's Matt, live in Seattle, and (duh) have a spectacular 4Runner. I've got a 1994 V6, had it for a few years, and just realized I should track down a forum to chat with folks on. Big fan of projects - first one when I was 16 was a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7 that I built basically...
