Road TRIP! ROAD trip! it looks like you have some serious MODS on your 4runner...anything that you think is a GREAT MOD for a 2nd GEN, that you think is very WORTH IT that you would do again in a heartbeat?? Also- the recall was for the RELAY ROD, (50N recall) and the alignment was included...

Thanks Bart. You may be right. Even though the bushings have been replaced on the idler arm and it is strong and solid again, they MAY refuse the alignment because 1) the idler arm was not rebuilt by them 2) it is not brand new (and no profit was made) 3) no profit was made The dealership was...

3.4 L swap with kit from Colorado Hi! Did any of you ever get that kit from Colorado and perform the Engine swap? thoughts on how that went? Where would you recommend getting a 3.4L engine? thanks, best TW

Idler Arm success! Thanks T4R member colleagues. Got the Idler Arm replaced today! noticed a big difference in steering. AND- the alignment will be done free of charge at the Toyota dealership because of the relay rod that was replaced for the recall!! yeaH!! I paid a mechanic to do the idler...

Hi 4runner compadres!! I just took my awesome 1992 4runner (sr5 4x4 manual transmission) into the shop for the free recall on the steering rod! score, nice free job. However, as I expected, even though I refused the semi-obligatory meeting to decide on all the extra jobs and fluids they say she...

I did it!! Hey guys I did it!! WOOHOO! A friend helped me out, and it was a bitch, but we got all 6 sparkplugs out!! and changed with some nice new gapped SGK sparkplugs (I think that's what they're called...) it was a bitch getting the airfilter out to get at the driver's side middle spark...

Thanks a lot for your support and encouragement! I'm going to tackle it myself...I'll let you know how it goes. If you can think of any other mods or improvements that I can do myself, that would be great. My exhaust pipe has rusted out at the end, I think that extensions are easily available...

Changing my sparkplugs/Seattle 4runner Hello 4runner compadres! I am still not confident to change my 4runner sparkplugs myself. I am wondering whether any of you live in Seattle and would want to do this for me? Of course I can pay, (however I would like to pay less than what some of these...

Thanks for your answer- OK...cat converter may be clogged. Possible to fix that? New converter, unclogging etc? For changing the plugs- yesterday I got the plugs and gap measurer, and tool to do it with, and when I got back here, and opened the hood, those bastards are in there deep! and pretty...

Hello my 4runner brothers and sisters! YEAH! I love my 4runner and want to make her run as sweet as possible. It is a 1992 in GREAT shape with a new engine 75,000miles ago. Now she has 250,000 miles on her however I think that she will go a lot longer. I want to get a tune-up however the...

Thanks for your reply! You may be right...there are a lot of miles on this baby. She is almost at 250K miles. The engine has been rebuilt however and she looks to be in fantastic shape, she was a total bargain and I feel really lucky. (with hitch, roofrack, chains, beautiful interior, engine...

Hi 4runner enthusiasts, I have a 1992 SR5 4x4 4Runner, manual transmission, lifted with fat tires. I love this 4runner and apart from having new brakes and a new front axle put in this year, everything is very great with this beautiful truck. My only question today concerns the transmission. I...
