So I haven't been on the forum much but I've been doing a few little things to the truck, including a full front brake job, with some old brake fluid that REALLY looks like it hasn't been changed since the truck was new: Once the brakes were sorted I cleaned up and painted the mirrors and...

Quick question on oil pressure, this isn't too low, is it? I know at idle the oil pressure drops a bit but it was regularly below the lower line, at some points on the trail today it was halfway in the lower zone. My idle is a little low, I plan to bump it up after a quick check for vacuum...

Finally, I get to see what she can do! A friend of mine took me up a fairly easy pass not too far outside Denver (Argentine Pass, outside Georgetown). The 4runner did fantastic and didn't miss a beat. Honestly the drive up I-70 was more terrifying. His third gen was an amazing lead and...

My '95 ran noticeably better after a new fuel filter. $10 and about 20-30 min of work depending on how corroded the bolts are. It hadn't been changed since 1998! EDIT: I just realized this is an 11 year old thread lol. Still, fuel filter is a nice, cheap thing to swap out when you get a new...

Been riding about 15 years now. Got 2 bikes at the moment (had a 3rd, a Grom, but sold it this past week actually). A big '04 FJR1300 for some longer rides, here she is before a 5 hour ride I did to the western slope of CO a few weeks ago: And then I've got a little CBR600RR crotch rocket...

The sticker is from Overland Nomad: 3.Slow Gang Sticker (Free Shipping ) | Overland Nomad He was great about shipping out the sticker fast and my only complaint is that I didn't think to order two :P I like those headlights, I'll have to keep an eye on them. I need to get the brakes fixed first!

Many thanks for the links! I'll get those downloaded and bookmarked. On that note, got the gear oil drained from the transfer case and filled back up with ATF as per the manual. I'll probably drain and fill it (and the transmission) again in a few weeks. Otherwise, I got a new toy! A cheap USB...

Man am I glad you said that! I searched a bit and found plenty explaining exactly that. Wish I'd gotten factory manual with the truck, I'll have to find one on eBay. Will be draining and refilling the transfer case with ATF tonight. Do I need to worry about the transmission itself?

One of the things I noticed when changing the oil was the grease zerk fittings on the drive shaft. I didn't have a grease gun so I put it off till I could run to Harbor Freight to grab one. Once acquired I set about greasing all the fittings I could see... and immediately noticed a TON of play...

As a quick little project this tab was broken on my right-rear window switch: So I drew up and 3d printed a little "extension" that could be glued in to retain the switch. It worked amazingly well! FIXED! Now I just gotta figure out why the window itself doesn't roll down!

Oil leak fixed and coolant leak at least manageable, I decided it was time to do some cleaning! The stock interior was clean in that it was all there and not broken (aside from a cracked dash, but whatever, my '92 had some cracks as well), but lord knows it was not clean inside in the slightest...

Now with the tires and alignment sorted, I decided to tackle the oil leak on the motor (also since it was in desperate need of an oil change). Some poking around with a flashlight and bumping my head into multiple sharp things revealed a leak coming from the oil cooler on the driver's side of...

Hello all! With 15 posts I get to finally start cataloging a little bit of my work on the truck! First some quick background, I used to have a (pretty clean) '92, which I sold 2 years ago to get something a little more fuel efficient to commute to a new job. I immediately hated the job and...

Hello 15th post

Hey fellow Denverite! :P
