    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    "Neat" is definitely one way to describe it. Vet school is notoriously difficult as it is, Ross throws a wrench into things by being on an island. While it sounds like all fun and games we actually spend most of our time indoors staring at books and computer screens 12 hours a day or so...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Today I say farewell to my 1996 Toyota 4runner dubbed "Island Paradise". I have finished my 3 years of pre-clinical education on the island and I am now returning to the States for good! I spent a lot of time looking for the right owner that would take care of her as she took care of me. She was...

    Lower than normal transmisson temperature?

    Very nice thread. I have been searching for cooler capable of dissipating enough heat to be a complete bypass of the radiator.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    The ABS module functions fine but my left front sensor died a month after I replaced the right sensor. I wont be getting another one since Im leaving permanently in 2 weeks (not enough time to ship someone from the states and clear customs). I dont know if the solenoids can be "Jumped" with 12v...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    I have checked and checked and checked again after a long drive today with lots of braking. I cant find any leaking. The fittings are bone dry. So according to the brake line diagram, the master cylinder has a dedicated line for the front brakes and a separate line for the rear brakes. The...

    MN4runnerman, for whatever reason the quote button is not working for me. So what about bypassing the rear ABS? On my 96 there are only 2 connection for the rear brakes. One in and one out. Could I just couple those together? Its really no different that pulling the ABS fuse/relay that many...

    ABS Switch - Easy, effective and simple

    Looking for some general ABS knowledge. I understand the ABS is essentially a collection of computer controlled electromagnetic solenoids that push and pull the "valves" against springs. Hypothetically if you were to remove solenoid module, can the valves be pushed by hand? or does that take a...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Replaced the right rear brake line, bled a liter fluid through the system using the motive power bleeder at 15psi. Brakes are still spongy. Had the "T" fitting capped for a few days before replacing the line and the brakes felt noticeably better oddly enough. Replaced master cylinder a week ago...

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    The island brake chronicles continue. Finally changed out the brake master cylinder. On the first pressure test i heard a loud "POP", no pedal pressure after that. I blew a hole in the right rear brake hard line. Fashioned a temporary plug to get me to the auto shop and it passed my test drive...

    Ball joint extravaganza...the results will shock you!

    For completeness OP, you could purchase one LBJ from every aftermarket manufacturer you can find and compare each one of them to the OEM.
