I have ordered and received this kit: https://www.amazon.com/Aisin-TKT-025-Engine-Timing-Water/dp/B008EEYWYE/ref=sr_1_4?crid=11EF7VAL1PPLT&keywords=4runner+timing+belt+kit+3.4 It was much cheaper than a Gates or Aisin kit/package from RockAuto. I can confirm that the pump has Aisin cast in...

Got an other 4R... saved a 98 SR5 from the wreckers. It got into a front-impact. No airbag opened. Surprisingly, nothing leaks, not even the rad. It didn't have the AC condenser from before the crash. Runs and drive (well, after I replaced all the EFI/IGN fuses and the 100A alternator/charge...

So, here is what it looks like pre-install. Just one more relay under the dash, allowing to disconnect the EXI wire instead of grounding it. Disregard the wire color, I got a 5-pack of cheap relays with holders and they came pre-wired. In this case, red and white are all grounds. Yellow is...

I had to remove my whole lift gate to fix it, and found that letting the shocks sit uncompressed for a few days helps a LOT to bring them back to life. I had a sagging lift gate too, and it would just NOT stay up with the window down. Now not only does it stay all the way up with the window...

Anyone did a dual mod already? I grabbed the rear heater switch (2-pos + off) off a junk truck to try to make the two mods at once. "HI" position would enable the Bagel mod (reversible, VSC OFF only). "LOW" position would enable the full Andy 2.0 (VSC and TRAC off, ABS still on, need restart...

Can't, you blocked PMs...

NEED TO SHIP TO CHAMPLAIN, NY. Looking for a COMPLETE, rust free tailgate/lift gate. Color is not important. Glass not needed (will also make shipping easier/cheaper). I don't care if shipping is 150$ as long as parts price is reasonable.

Junkyard trip was a success! Pulled a recently replaced O2 (Denso/Genuine Toy) off a 2002 Badlands. Sucks that I never got the notification when it got put in, according to the pictures it still had the hood on... No more CEL, now I have to find why the door open light is on all the time (I...

I'm back baby! Just bought a 2002 SR5 in black. 3" Rough Country Junkyard day tomorrow, I got a check engine (o2 upstream) and a few things broken I want to try to get.

Sold her :sadwave: I am going to China for a few months, back for the holidays and back to China again after... She would rot in the driveway otherwise. Bye Natasha,

Thanks! Pretty much what I expected, and since my job was vehicule outfitter, that's nothing compared to installing a full GPS/LTE/tracker setup with SATPHONE and RTK station in a truck. Will still take some pictures as that's always good to have!

Well. I picked-up parts to do the full 99 conversion. From the donor, I removed: Console (it's in much better shape than my 97 too) Rear bracket (silver bracket mounted near the rear heater controls) e-brake lever Console cover/cup holder I also wanted to upgrade to 99 dash (I really hate...

Scavenged a 99 console and center dash. Gotta clean it a bit but it's already in much better shape than mine (the vynil on my arm rest is torn in many places). FINALLY will have some cup holders worth something! Also, anyone know if the clock from the 97 dash fits in the 99 dash? They charged...

Rebuilt an alternator from my burnt out one and a new old from a 99 Taco. Replaced most power cables with 4ga. Replaced the battery that the alt killed this week. Replaced the battery lugs. Pic tomorrow, it's too dark outside for the camera.

Well, I had to get this working today, so I got a "stock" alternator off a 99 Taco. The engine had a blown head gasket, oil everything including inside the alt (a lot!) Turns out after a good clean it was shorting out one of the coils. The alternators in our trucks are really easy to maintain...
