Myths About PlastiDip

In threads where a different car/truck is used, the process is pretty similar, if not the same, but make sure before trying, to check the possible differences in the processes.

Feel free to add to this list. I was just bored so I decided to browse YouTube to provide whatever help I can.

Some of these videos show FJs & Tacos, but same applies for 4runners.

They're V6. On the Trans Fluid change it shows him doing a test drive and it's the 4spd trans.

So you have to drop the exhaust to do the trans fluid on the V6? ouch that sucks!

You can see the V8 when he opens the hood. The only reason he dropped the exhaust is to change the filter I believe.

I found this one for spark plug replacement on '06 V6 that you can include in the list as well. Essentially the same as the V8 but useful nontheless.

Would that video by Eric also be applied to the V6 model as well?

Anyways, here is a video for the MAF cleaning.

Only the V6 2005+, as the '04 has a 4spd still.

Check out the transmission filter part 2 video, 15:35, you clearly see the V8 cover, just so you feel better good idea for the thread too, this could definitely help.

 

[Gatafly]

Good thread for people to keep adding videos to that they find.

Great idea, [MENTION=89415]Stuck CAPS[/MENTION] . Can you organize the first post by catergory and add all the vids that people are posting to post #1. Like maybe suspension, engine (then break that down into v6 and v8), driveline, body work, electrical

I dunno, just general stuff like that.

Was thinking that, just was waiting for a few more vids.
Edit- Done.

Also, as of right now the link for the tranny change part I is actually for the cabin air filter.
