    When to rebuild engine?

    But did you see the pics I posted? Its so hard to know who to listen to. You're saying that but I've had people on here say the complete opposite (look at the responses since my compression test pictures). And 2 people I've spoke to in person today suggested a rebuild. Why would an o2 sensor...

    When to rebuild engine?

    I just finished doing the compression test. I followed the Timmy The Toolman's video. He states the book says 174PSI minimum and no more than 15PSI difference. I attached 2 plugs. The dirtier of the 2 is the 115PSI plug and the cleaner one is the 191PSI.

    When to rebuild engine?

    hmm that seems to be more of a broad statement though. I also titled the post "WHEN to rebuild?".... no one seemed to answer that. Yes I have my own issues but I also would like to know WHEN someone would rebuild an engine. When it becomes cost effective? When is that? Something specific happens...

    When to rebuild engine?

    I am curious as to when it is optimal time to have an engine rebuild done or maybe it is case by case? I currently have 240k miles on my V6. I've always had the complaint that the 4runner just feels tired and weak. Riding trails going over the smallest obstacles like rocks or little lips I have...

    42" Light Bar Bracket Got the CREE 42 inch off eBay for $80 and figured i would get if a shot. So far so good. All the LED's work and are really bright. The bracket though i hate :( sticks way too far out and i am having problems with the weather strip, it is loud as hell inside now. I can't...

    Holster I already had the inside waist and outside holster but decided to just get the cloak dock from Aliengear for easy access inside and outside of the car. Instead of how i usually kept the pistol in my waist while driving. Love this thing, beats just having the gun sitting around when im...

    Seagate fuse box Added a Blue Sea 12 circuit fuse box to run accessories through. This thing makes everything better. Also have a 100amp breaker but haven't installed yet. Picked up the Fuse box bracket from 4runnergrille.com . It fits perfect over the charcoal canisters and uses those 2...

    Carpet First thing i did was order the carpet from Rock Auto and began tearing the car apart. Was just filthy. Took every panel and dash out strait to the tub for scrubbing! Painted the door floor trims with bed liner, just to give a little protection. Wasn't sure if it would look stupid. I...

    Tripps 98 4Runner Build

    Figured i would throw a little thread together. Bought the 98 Sr5 in Sept 2016 for $5500 with 198k miles. Previous owner had the timing belt and water pump done with new spark plugs a month before i bought it so those should be good to go for a while. SUSPENSION/TIRES Toytec BOSS 3" Lift...
