Update: Here is part 2 of the series: Getting things all back together! <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tp1-bXbkpW0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Does anyone have any tips or trick for installing the abs sensor back in the axle housing? It...

I appreciate it! The main thing for now is getting it road worthy again. Putting the axle and seal back in, brake shoes and drums, transfer case seal and fluid swap, tune up and compression test, then some cheap rear shocks to make sure the car can drive alright. Once that is done, exhaust...

Thanks! There is a ton of info on here and has looked like a friendly place to be. I def have more videos in the works :couch2:

Haha yea I would not be caught dead with the BOGAN plates in Australia, but for over here I think it is a good joke. Yea the kid before me had a learning disability and got in trouble with the law apparently, so his dad sold it over to me. Pretty much neglected the 4runner, but I figured its...

Sure do! I was born and raised in Perth, WA. I've been in the U.S. for just over half my life now. Thanks! The job was lengthy, but not super tough by any means. I had never replaced drum brakes either, which turned out to be fairly easy as well on the 4Runner. I'll be sure to post videos of...

Here is part one of the rear axle seal leak fix. Big thanks to the thread by bigfishallday! I went through this process with not much focus on the alignment of the bearing retainer to create the seal needed. Hopefully someone watches this video and does not have to deal with the disappointment...

I am in Newport News, also with a project 4runner that has not left the garage in a while! Plan is to get everything squared away for spring/summer. Keep up the good work!

I have been busy working on the 4runner when it is warm enough outside to be enjoyable, or at least warm enough in the garage. The first big project has been fixing the rear axle seal leak, which means all new brake components, new seals, new fluid, and getting the bearings/seals pressed onto...

So I have been working a lot on the 4runner. Every time I get busy with a project i fail to keep things updated and share them. this build, i have decided to make videos of the progress so that i can keep track and make something that is entertaining. This is my first video, and basically looks...

Thanks! I will have to check it out once i am at a better place with my project

Synthetic Mobil 1?? If so, I'm driving to autozone in my pajamas, slippers and all!

Just ordered 24 quarts. I hope there are no major issues, and that no one gets/has gotten fired over there

Thanks! Just read your build thread quickly..do you get into any fishing? I would love to get mine good enough to take camping at the OBX on the weekends. Never surfed, but have never lived close enough to the ocean for it to be convenient until now. Also, looking for junkyards in the VA...

Newport News, just up the road from you it looks like! Moved down here just as the colder weather came in....cannot wait for it to warm up to be outside more and explore around the area.

Sure is! Was out there for a car show, as I just moved from Charlottesville.
