3rd Gen T4R DIY Maintenance, Repair and Modification Videos

Havent watched it yet but I downloaded it for my 3 hour flight tomorrow. The other passenger are going to think im nuts. Some people watch "pretty little liars", I prefer to watch something useful if Im trapped in an aluminum can for 3 hours. Cant wait to watch it!



How in the heck do you save the video from YouTube?...

Manual Hub Conversion

Hey Dudes, [MENTION=102606]infamousRNR[/MENTION] and I have another video for you. Special Guest [MENTION=148218]JZiggy[/MENTION] picked up some Manual Hub Knuckles from a 1st Gen Tacoma and I helped him renew the bearings and seals and install the rebuilt knuckles on this 3rd Gen.

Here's the video and Enjoy the Show!

Nice video Time. It looks like you have really taken to the press. Trying to convince my ex wife why I had one was fruitless.

Next time try coating the splines with gear oil before reinstalling. I have had luck lately with just being able to muscle the CV back in without striking squat.

Invest in a Dewalt DCF883 to make taking off the UBJ nut, caliper bolts, etc much easier. It really is that good.

Boom goes the dynamite!

Thanks for the tip. I'll try the using gear oil on the splines the next time I'm reinstalling CV axles.

I like buying tools. I just might finally act on this suggestion of yours. One of my two Dewalt guns doesn't sound too healthy. I need to contact them and find out about getting it checked out before the warranty runs out.

Which splines do you mean? The ADD CV outer splines?

Good Lord I've had these in my garage sitting since August 2014. I might end up selling it if I SAS my truck

Exactly. I just Google "download YouTube video" and there are several choices. Just copy paste the link on their website, pick your resolution and it will download it for you. I chose the highest available quality at 720P and it was like 1.4GB or somewhere around that.

The splines at the end of the CV before reinstalling them. I didn't think it would make it easier, but at only 5'7" I now for the most part can just muscle them back into place. The passenger side on the 3rd gens is much easier to reinstall than the driver's side IMHO.

Kudos to Tim and Sean for continuing to make great educational vids..:clap2::clap2::clap2:
 
Big thanks to Tim and his camera guy for all these great videos!

Used the belt replacement video to find out how to tighten my alt/PS/AC belts and eliminate an annoying squeak upon startup that had been plaguing my truck for a month or two.

I never would have attempted it without such detailed instructions and video, so a HUGE thank-you!

[MENTION=102606]infamousRNR[/MENTION] and I love to hear when one of our videos inspired someone to tackle a job they would not have done otherwise. If you're mechanically inclined at all, have a willingness to learn and also willing to invest some money in tools, you can do most of the things paid mechanics do and save yourself a shit ton of money. Sometimes it makes more sense to pay someone else to do something when you don't have some of the specialty tools to pull off a repair or it's just way more involved than you care to tackle like rebuilding a transmission or an engine.

Anyways, Happy Wrenching My Brother!
 
Master Cylinder

Is there a DIY video for replacing a clutch master cylinder? My buddy Aaron Cook said he would help me with it but it'll be a couple weeks. Not to mention he's so busy working that idk if it'll happen in 2 weeks.

[MENTION=102606]infamousRNR[/MENTION] and I haven't done this job yet. Maybe somebody on this forum or another forum has a write-up on it or has maybe made a video. Do a Google search and see what you come up with. Good luck!
 
Automatic Transmission Replacement

Hey Dudes, it took us a long time but [MENTION=102606]infamousRNR[/MENTION] and I finally, FINALLY! have this freaking video series done. Only took us 3 months because lots of shit got in the way of getting it done.

If you want a tutorial on how to replace your automatic transmission, here's some videos that could help you out.

Here's the videos and Enjoy the Show!

Nice. Thanks Tim and Sean for the continual DIY videos.

I take it Sean has had zero problems since?




That is correct!

I've almost hit the 3k mile mark on the new trans.. it pulls great. My inner teen driving comes out sometimes and I get on the gas pretty good. It shifts smooth, except 1st to 2nd gear in typical 4Runner fashion ..

But so far everything is working great!

It's hard to imagine that my rig was down for over 3 months while I saved up funds.
