last week I decided to test the ARB to make sure it was working... it is not. wouldn't lock and I could hear air leaking, guessing an o-ring is leaking. Today I ordered a set of 4.88 gears and a spartan locker, going to install them in a spare third member and put it in the rear. I will keep...

sometimes its the small things, like a working windshield washer. A previous owner put an aftermarket pump on the inner fender but it doesn't pull to well through the old rusted out pump. i blocked off the hole for the rear washer pump, put a new one in the tank for the front and fixed the...

got pulled over last night by a very nice policeman who said the next time he seen me without front turn signals i would be getting a ticket. Stopped by the parts store and picked up some temporary lights and installed them in 11 degree weather. on a side note i have been daily driving it this...

my plan for yesterday was to install the air tank and get my ARB working, with the wind we have been having that sounded like a horrible idea. So i nosed the 4Runner into the shop doors and installed the winch. extended the cables from the winch to the control box with welding ground cables...

Drove it 45 miles down the freeway to work today, did pretty good now that i have it timed better.

Kept loosing coolant, and could smell it but couldn't see where it was coming from, wasn't losing a lot but enough to notice. got some leak testing dye from work and an ultraviolet flashlight, the only place i could see it leaking from was the upper radiator hose, I got about an extra turn out...

i never get as much time in on projects as i plan for while on vacation. surprisingly the only rust in the frame is in the front this was after using the needle scaler one other small rust hole found using the needle scaler cutting out the old captured nut after wire wheeling it i...

Situation: So i have a ARB in the rear right now, i am picking up an E-locker and will be going solid axle in the front. Question: ARB rear E-locker front or E-locker rear ARB front? any reason behind which should go in the front besides clearance for the E-locker?

the V6 radiators are a couple inches taller so there are more cooling fins. I didnt really have a problem, i had just gotten the 4Runner and was revamping a lot of stuff. i can tell you that the electric fan on a thermostat has not even kicked on yet (but it is winter also) and the heater still...

Not sure if yours is a 22RE or a 3.0 but i put an all aluminum V6 radiator with electric fan and shroud in my 22RE 4Runner. just had to redrill the 2 lower mounting holes.

The steering felt really loose even after putting a new steering box, pitman arm, and idler arm and bracket. Yesterday i had the wife turn the steering wheel while i checked out the linkages. apparently when i hooked up the pitman arm, the steering was in a bind because it was super loose, i was...

Planning on taking it to Sunnyside this weekend for the lighted implement parade (not entering, just watching) to put some freeway miles on it. parts have been trickling in to get the air tank installed and the ARB working, ordered up a winch with synthetic line, and picked up a nice kinetic...

one step closer to getting my ARB working, pulled the side panel off so i could remove the cubby. apparently my 4Runner is special because it has a cubby on the left and right side. I still need to install the air tank and finish wiring the compressor. The black circle is the air inlet ​​​​​​​

re-aligned my steering wheel to the steering box to the pitman arm yesterday, installed the new steering stabilizer and the idler arm and bracket. did some more timing adjustments and cleaned it out (started looking like a tool box). Then drove it to town and filled it up with gas!! runs...

TPS is the Throttle Position Sensor, it is on the side of the throttle body. (not my pic) Here are directions to adjust it, i also recommend getting rid of the screws and going to allen head bolts. if i remember right they were M6x1.0...
