Thought I'd make quick post about the repair of plastics. One of the plastic trim pieces was snapped on the 4R, so did this quick repair to get it functional again. I've done this a couple times, this is the first one on the 4R, the last one was the outer housing on my John Deere riding...

Hey there, my power seats both don't work, one is missing parts, and the leather is toast on both. Need new front seats, back seat too if it's in good shape. Would even consider just power seat components to get me to safe. Regards

The impact driver totally backed out the first one, but in classic "work on the car" fashion, there is always one item that doesn't go right, and tacks on several extra hours in what otherwise would have gone smoothly. Previous dudehey stripped out the head of the other screw. Took forever to...

Heh, I have my moments with this, but largely I just try to move forward. I've kicked myself a few times thinking "I should have took a closer look", but generally, the body is in ok shape, and the motor is running very well. One of the cut frame member theories is that they did it to slide a...

1. It Handles Rough So beyond my frame adventure, the vehicle handles very rough, feel every bump. The first thing to go was the 20" rims and tires. These were steel rims, so heavy, and we're more a "head out and go hiking/camping/snowboarding" than we are "rollin Rainier, and the jealous...

The Accident As T4R2014 so sagely pointed out, the front end has some bumper issues that would point in the direction of an accident. What I found was nothing short of amazing. In test driving the vehicle, I did get it out on the freeway, and at speed (upwards of 80), nothing squirrely or...

I did register it at Toyota, and found a single dealer record in 2010, at 141K. So for certain, the milage is off. In Washington, it's OK, as long as the vehicle is over 10 years old, you can classify it mileage exempt, which is what he told me up front. Although the seller failed to mention...

I'll write up a summary and detail of the things I've done to date( may take a few posts), but at the price I paid, I expected there to be some issues with the vehicle, and planned on sinking some money into it to get it to safe and reliable point. Out of the gate I noticed several things. I...

Having a couple of driving age teenagers, I took a poll of family drivers, and the 4Runner was something on the list, so I spent some time watching Craigslist, and landed a "good deal" on 98 Limited 4Runner, 3.4 2WD. 136K on the odometer, but purchased mileage exempt due to age. $2600 And...

Set of 4 Boss 20" rims. Were on a Toyota 4Runner. Some chrome flaking has occured, please see pictures Front tires are 275/45R20- tread life at ~70% remaining, some inside wear Rear tires are 285/50R20- treat life at ~80+ remaining (they look pretty new) Comes with a complete set of Gorilla...

Where is the dislike button. Sorry to hear that. Hope you dodged the bullet!

Thanks guys, have an impact driver, but will give a little bit of heat a shot. Regards ju

Got the factory stereo replaced with a pioneer that can do bluetooth and handsfree. Ordered it from Crutchfield, as it comes with the stuff you need to install. Easiest stereo install I've ever done. Soldered all the connections at my bench, took out the stock stereo, brought it to the bench...

I agree on the cold here. I ended up carrying my seats into the building so I can swear at them where it is warm. Did the same when swapping the struts. Hands go numb pretty quick. Kicking myself for not buying a house with a garage.
