Thanks for the advice. Sorry it took a bit to get back here. So after I bled the clutch once, a friend came with a fool-proof way to bleed it and I guess I was proven a fool, lol, because the pedal's ability to operate the clutch got much better after bleeding the clutch a second time with...

It's got 212k. I'll check out the hose. Sorry, what's SL?

Hi! New to the forum and hopefully proved my status as a human being with a 4Runner, rather than a spamming robot without being too annoying, lol. Happy to be here! I have really enjoyed the wealth of info so far. So I have a 1990 3.0 5 speed manual 4x4. I have a few issues to hunt down but...

Nice seeing the 1st gen getting some love! Looking forward to seeing more.

So, I have a 1990 3.0, do I need to be worried about the headers? To my knowledge they are stock, never blown or repaired. Is there a way I need to drive or something I need to do to keep them from becoming damaged? I know the 3.0 doesn;t have a great rep for power, but I'm needing to do some...

My 1990 looks just like yours Ricky_B. I'm inspired it could be a great adventure vehicle! Thanks for posting.

Same issue here--e-brake light always on. So I should check to see if the (1) switch under the ebrake handle works? Then (2) check the lid/donut of the brake fluid reservoir? Any more info/direction would be appreciated.

+1 for army and black. I do like the rattle can job though too!

Ah that makes sense. Missed those stickies. Disregard my other comment on this same topic please, JWaldz. I get it now.

ah thanks pluton good to know its not just me, lol!

Cool stuff bgray! Did you achieve this by wrapping plywood in carpet? Or do you get that somewhere? Looks really slick. Thinking toward doing a similar thing if I can get my 4Runner working good enough to justify it, LOL!

Hi Waldo! Fellow Springs resident, new to the forums. So, what's the deal with the "please upgrade your account to allow third party hosting" (or whatever it says) that I keep seeing, as on this build thread? It appears from the comments that your original postincluded photos that are now no...

Super cool. I did an aftermarket dash switch but didn't occur to me to put a switch in the back for when you are sleeping back there! I bet I could follow your lead and add one to my wiring setup--my wiring is in the drivers' side rear compartment though. Thanks for the inspiration. I know...

Love the second photo in your original post!

Well I've had my 2nd gen for a couple years now but this weekend I drove her up in the hills and camped out with some friends. Lots of steak, fly fishing, and hammock time. Didn't take any 4Runner photos, but laid the seats down and set up a nice sleeping area in the back and slept comfortably...
