1990 silver bullet runner

Ordered timing belt, tensioner, idler bearing, and tensioner spring. $350.00 down the drain... But at least she will run for another 100,000 miles. I forgot to add that I replaced the broken injector and bought the LCE short shifter.

other than a ton of rear tube bumpers I am not aware of any 2nd Gen 4Runner rear plate bumper options other than custom
 
So I Replaced my O2 sensor last night. took about 10 min. Started her back up and took her around the block and the check engine light came back on... still code 21. What would I look for next. I also want to note that the P.o took out the catalytic converter. Also I replaced my 4wd sensor and it did not go off either. How would I go about testing the harness for it?

I was thinking about doing manual locking hubs but they are expensive to buy online. I called my local salvage yard and they have a set for $50 each. If I swapped these to my runner will I no longer have to worry about the 4wd light since it wont be ADD?
 
So I went to get my hubs and someone bought them... They person told me that he had a bunch of 4runners that had locking hubs. I walked around for forever trying to find them but unfortunately all of the hubs were gone. Luckily on the way back I noticed a older sr5 truck hidden in the corner. It had the original Aisin hubs and the non ADD front axle tube. My Question is even thought its a truck would the hubs and axle tube still bolt right up since its from the same time period?
 
Nice truck and nice body work. Mine will be needing a little bit of attention in some of the same areas soon. Keep it up!

Thank you I've spent a little bit of time on her. Will be doing the timing in weeks to come and addressing the 4wd light being on all the time. Sometime this week I will take off the actuator and see if its actually locking and unlocking the front axles. If not I will buy the manual hubs I was talking about. If it works ill leave it for now cause I have more important upgrades.
 
Awesome truck and workmanship. I just finished building a 1995 Limited 3.0 4x4. Drove it from California to Michoacan Mexico for some desert running and a bit of crawling. Left it out there and its still running strong with 205 k on her. These are great rigs.

So I noticed my shifting was getting a little crunchy. I could hardly get it into reverse or 5th.I saw a thread on yotatech about replacing the shifter seat and cap. I ordered the shifter seat and cap it was only like 10$ from Toyota. I was surprised on how good it shifted after I saw the bushing that was in there. After I replaced the seat and cap :love: it was amazing. It is nice and tight and shifts really smooth.

the first pic is of the old and new seat. The one in the front was the one that I pulled out. There was none of green rubber left.As for the cap it was pretty worn to.

So I've developed a high idle. On Cold mornings it idles at 2100 cold then at about 1700 warm. I Cleaned my throttle body and now it idles at 1500 cold and 1200 warm. I also replaced a lot of the vacuum hoses from a kit I got from LCE. Is this normal? what does every one else's truck idle at?

Mine idles at 800-1000 warm and 1300 cold.

Not normal. I'd bet you had a vacuum leak that made it idle low, but now that the hoses are new, your idle has been thrown. I'd adjust the idle down and clean your EGR valve.

So this weekend if I have time im going to take the whole throttle body off and deep clean it really good. After I put it back on and ill mess with the idle down and clean the EGR. Thanks for the ideas ill let you know if it fixed anything.
 
Im back and need a little help

Hey there everyone. I have not drove my runner in a little a couple months and she needs some love again. I haven't had time to drive her because of my work hours and I live in a bigger city so I drive my car for better gas mileage. I finally have time to take my favorite whip out and when I started it the other day it was making some funky noises from the timing cover.I'm guessing that it's from the tensioner and idler bearing that we took from my spare runner like half a year ago. I have all of the parts now. I was just wondering if anyone had some good tips and tricks for replacing it. If not does anyone have a good thread I could look at?
 
I'd suggest taking a good look at the timing belt to be sure it's running true.
If something is out of alignment on the idlers it will push the belt forward or back and it will start eating itself up. BTDT.
 
So I haven't posted her for awhile. My 4runner was resting while I got some time to work on her. I started my timing belt and it seems the one of the bolt holes for the water pump is stripped out. What could I do to fix it do I have to re tapp it or is there a little sleeve I could get? Any help is appreciated
