I haven't been on here in literally years, but I was watching Baja 1000 vids and remembered a build thread I saw about 3rd gen that was being built for Baja. I'd love to see it again.

Well maybe some of us (like myself) are scared of working on our own trucks because it's the only truck we have so we don't want to screw it up and be out valuable transportation. At the same time, though, I can't afford to pay a mechanic thousands of dollars in labor alone to fix something that...

According to the rule book of BRAAAAPPPP!!!!! This is the fastest first gen ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAfj8A-Mg00 If you don't want to listen to him talk (wonder if he's a member here... lol.) skip to 1:00.

No one runs any auxiliary gauges?

Note: please excuse my incoherent ramblings... try and bear with me here. To my knowledge, either the 3rd gen 4Runner doesn't have a sensor to monitor these specific things or the ScanGauge II cannot read them (but that's not the purpose of this thread): Oil pressure Fuel pressure Manifold...

Welcome sir! Finally another T4R.org member from Louisiana! It seems like everyone lives everywhere BUT the South. South or not, the people on here are crazy knowledgable, so ask anything it'll most likely be answered. If it's not, use this instead of the search bar at the top...

When you're thoroughly impressed with a crash test from 1996.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STj2tOWY7rI <<4Runner crash test link The '96 4Runner did well in what I think is the small overlap crash test (correct me if I'm wrong), to my surprise actually. According to the IIHS, "small overlap crashes are responsible for about 25% of all serious injuries...

"her" was really great. Beautiful movie. Not very often that you see a really sensitive, complex male character these days - great performance from Joaquin Phoenix. Like slapdaddy said, JUST GO SEE IT.

Is there a way to quicken the steering on an '02 by changing the steering rack ratio? I always wonder how race teams quicken the steering from stock when they build up a race car. Also, I've heard that doing so could outpace the power steering system, which will lead to overheating and damage to...

Speaking of nice finds, I found this baby on craigslist: 1999 Toyota 4runner 4x4 How much would you guys pay for that assuming that all of the maintenance info that the poster gave is accurate, he has maintenance records, clean title, etc.? I certainly wouldn't pay anywhere NEAR $9500 for it. I...

Looks to me like either they hacked into the odometer and "wound" it back somehow or it has been sitting for 10 years.

I took one look at the odometer picture and almost fell over. Does anything think this for real or is the odometer wound back? Toyota 4runner 2001

Yeah, it didn't look like you really had to bend the mounts or anything like that. Thanks. Nice work.
