My alternator crapped out on me and I have a few questions. Will the ALT & BATT dash lights reset after replacing the Alternator, or do I need to preform some kind of ritual afterwards? It's a 1989 22RE 4runner. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Over the weekend the check engine light came on again, so a friend helped me change the O2 sensor, as well as the fuel filter under the intake manifold. We also relocated the filter to the fender. The lines are just long enough. Code was cleared and I've been driving it for a few hours now...

So it turned out the Mass air flow sensor was dirty. I cleaned it out, cleared the code and everything seems okay now. If the check engine light does come on again, next will be to replace the O2 sensor. Also plan to relocate/replace the fuel filter this weekend, the current location under the...

Yeah I read that somewhere also, but the Toyota tech who's been doing this for 25+ years I talked to today said that was bs. I don't know who to believe anymore. Lol What's funny is that after replacing the wiring from the battery to the starter, the dash light hasn't been back since. Oh and...

Forgive my ignorance but how do you clear an O2 sensor? Do you need specialized equipment? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm also going to clean the mass air flow sensor tomorrow. I'll keep an update. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info! So the code is 25, exhaust lean. Not good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I've had my 89 4Runner (22RE) now for awhile and I've had little electrical problems here and there, mostly from shoddy wiring from the previous owner (Stereo hack job), but every time I fix one problem, another arises. Let me elaborate. So the first issue I had was the brake lights not...

Thanks. Yeah my problem with automobiles is that there's too many out there that I want to own. Once I'm done customizing the 4Runner I'm sure I'll move onto something else. That's what my friends and family think anyway. I don't have any real plan on what I want to do to this, other than a...

Here's a few of my favorite vehicles I've built The Baja bug's decals were made by me using Adobe Illustrator. I am a huge fan of Tamiya Remote control cars of the Eighties. I copied the Sand Scorcher's decals design layout as it shows on the box art the car came with. The 57 Ford was setup...

Yeah I got lucky for sure. The truck is in great shape, aside from the usual hiccups like a rear window that rolls up only when you assist it by pulling up on it. Lol The guy I bought it from was really passionate about selling it to someone who would appreciate what it was. I kinda felt if I...

Just bought it yesterday and I have to say it's a blast to drive. Can't wait to start tinkering with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I just moved to an area that gets snow, so I figured I might as well start looking for a cheap 4x4. I was looking at Tacomas on Craigslist when I came across a 1st gen 4Runner for sale. Fell in love with it during the test drive.

Cannot wait to drive mine for the first time in the snow.

I love the front grill of the newer 4runners.
