1996 5 speed intro

Rebooted the passenger side inner CV with a napa kit. Holding so far.

Hit a milestone this morning...1500 miles in a year of ownership.

I've got the timing belt kit on the shelf, next in line.

So had to reboot the driver side inner CV. Went with the Napa kit again.

Just got done with the timing belt and cam and crank seals. The belt was a no name and was cracked. Glad I did it. I really struggled with replacing the seals, they didn't appear to be leaking, but while in there....wish I had left them alone now.

So I put it all back together, drove it about 10 miles, and oil is pouring out around the crank seal. Super bummed. I used the seals with the aircabinman kit, and they went in straight. Anyone ever have this happen? I'm in the process of taking it all back apart now.

So I took it all back apart, ordered 3 new OEM seals, installed them just as I did before, and now no leaks. Not sure what caused the oil leak, but it's been ok for about 1000 miles now.

And now it's for sale, picked up a FJ62 and the 4runner has to go, unfortunately.
