6/24/24 - Completed Install of Hayden Cooler and Hella Sharptones The install went fairly okay. The bracket made things a lot easier than it would have been otherwise. Took longer to take the grill off (one of the things I dread doing on the 3rd gen). Side note: I used to run with just 3 to...

Yeah I mean I wanted the bypass because the radiator is an original 200k radiator. I might not have a choice if I get the Koyo but I might end up just getting another OEM replacement. For now it should be okay. All I drive on is flat asphalt so it's not a big issue. I just wanted to avoid...

Installed my transmission bypass cooler from Inv4drZm and his twin brother who fabs up stuff for the FJ/4Runner community. Iconic Fabriction 1996-2002 4runner Transmission Cooler Bracket Kit Also cleared a nest out of my blower.

6/11/24 - Clean Up Time Pretty hot day out and I decided to go out there and assess all the issues that were going on with the car after our long drive back. I was still pretty tired but there were some things I wanted to do. I don't plan to keep the front bumper on but for now I wanted to...

6/10/24 - The Road from Wichita KS I barely gave my wife any heads up that I was considering going back to the 3rd gen camp. Although by the time I let her know, I had already been hunting for one for the better part of a month. I'm just glad she's understanding because she got into our...

My latest addition to the stable TiVo's Third 3rd Gen 2001 OEM Build My previous 3rd gen (the second one) TiVo's 4Runner Timeline

History of My 1st Sunfire Red I first started with a 93' Corolla we picked up from a family friend. That thing had four manual windows and the only thing automatic about it was the transmission. Even the door locks were manual. I really wanted a 4Runner and I finally got a sunfire red 99'...

I went back to a 3rd gen. If I didn't already have the 200 series I would have just lumped it all together into another 4th gen. I found quite a few decent 4th gens in the past month too. Some really low mileage in the low 100k range. But I decided I really wanted the mechanical / smaller...

I totally agree with your resolution. If I had the knowhow I would want to do a shorten'ed wheelbase DC 2.5 gen tundra. I love the 5.7 in our land cruiser. I just want to do truck things that the SUV can't do.

Many things have gone down since the last update to this build thread. I bought the FJ. Bought a 7th gen Celica GTS in 2021. Then I got married in 2022. Wife brought a 5th gen into the fold. Then in 2023 I had a midlife crisis and bought a 200 series to replace the FJ cruiser. Long story...

Are you going to keep the 6.5 ft bed or are you gonna shorten it? I've seen some cool extended cab 2.5 gen tundra builds from a few shops. the shorter bed looks cool. Except less functional...

Recap since my last build Funny how this all begins. Here's the update since my last major build back in 2019 with the FJ Cruiser. I picked up a 2002 Celica GTS in May of 2021, after trying to scratch the itch for a high rev 4 cylinder JDM car. I initially wanted a DC2 Integra or DC5 RSX but...
