that ain’t a 3rd gen lol

bump… reducing to $6900

oh yeah let me be clear your video definitely helped me out, i was just worried going into it as someone who just wanted the codes to go away to pass emissions without overcomplicating it. I was seeing people talk about how hard it is, how you must replace a bunch of single use washers and o...

The time has come! Parting ways with my second 4Runner, since I don't need two of them... This is more of a dedicated trail build, but it is still a fun daily driver. It doesn't have sway bars. It has a few dents from wheeling, and some bits of surface rust here and there, but underneath is...

Doing this job a second time..… I figured I’d make a how-to video since there’s only a couple of them out there, usually involving taking out the injectors and fuel rails. There’s really no need to remove those, or any hoses even, to do the job. All you need are the sensors, wiring harness...

I don’t know what they should be, but my napkin math says you should try a 17/32” socket if you have one edit: actually, i remembered i’ve bought these exact bolts before, since i lost them when i was replacing my driveshaft. I still have the baggie in my car, the part number appears to be...

New-to-me truck is not passing emissions because it has a check engine light on. P0330 and P0325 so it’s probably the knock sensors wiring harness. I really, really don’t want to do that job. Especially since this rig is almost entirely going to be used off-road. But i still need to register it...

Went to straighten my steering wheel by adjusting the outer tie rods. Previous owner says he “got it perfectly aligned except the steering wheel being crooked. Turned one side 6 turns in and the other side 6 turns out. went to back it out of the driveway and one side popped right out! Friendly...

So i’m seeing some very conflicting info all over the internet about this. I have about an hour drive each way, for the most part under 50mph to get to the off-road areas I go to. The other day, my air pump broke, so i had to drive home on 12psi. staying under 40mph and pulling over occasionally...

ended up just getting new bolts, for the weld washers i just did the best i could with regular washers. the old ones were loose on the bolt, got new ones that fit snugly. Got the bushings swapped and greased and the washers welded and it’s all buttoned up nicely now. The weird shimmy has gone...

That bolt was crazy stuck on there! all that banging around really fused it together. Anyway, finally got it off, and indeed it is ovaled out… I guess if i get the OEM bolts/nuts they won’t fit when i weld washers over the holes to bring them back to round… Would it be fine to just give this...

holy shit you’re right! i just went out and looked at my other truck… looks totally different!! the bushings still look shot though so still gonna do that but jeez looks like i’m ordering the correct hardware too! thanks for pointing that out i might not have noticed that on my own gonna need...

So i realized the weird rear end shimmy/wobble I’m having on my new-to-me 5spd probably isn’t the removed sway bar and has more to do with my LCA’s. Jiggled the right one the other day and it was loose enough to clank around. So i ordered new white line bushings to replace them ASAP. I went and...

Awe man turns out it’s gonna need the knock sensors/harness replaced :ohwell: Annoying but not the end of the world. Check engine light on the dash is burnt out or something so i didn’t think to check codes when i picked it up. Failed emissions just because it has a code, otherwise its probably...
