InfamousRNR's 2002 Limited BU!LD THREAD

Dude!!!! I really hope you didn't have the same thing happen that happened to me. Hit be up if you need help wrenching. If it's your transfer case...I think I still have a spare laying around that will work. Keep us posted to what's going on.

I can understand that... but you got this man. Anyone else planning on keeping their 4runner forever will no doubt go through this at some point. Happy new year bro!
 
i solid setup with argon gas would run at least $2,200 used...

what would we be welding on a regular basis? and what kind of videos could we make if we had one?.....

You can get into a good Miller 215 for less than $1400. That doesn't include the bottles....but, it does give you mig, tig and stick capability (though the tig kit costs another $450).

Miller Multimatic 215 #907693 | Miller Welder | Multimatic 215 | MIG Welders | TIG Welder | Stick Welder | Miller | Miller Welding Machines | Buy Welding Supplies Online | Welders Supply Company Beloit-Big Bend-Burlington Wisconsin and Rockford & Cry

If you just want mig.....the 211 is a good machine for the money (though I wish it had larger spool capacity like the old 211....but, it's much more portable and you can run it on 110V or 220V.

Millermatic 211 Mig Welder #907614 | Miller Welder #907422 | Millermatic 211 | MIG Welder | Miller 211 | Welding Machine | Welder | Welders Supply Company Beloit-Big Bend-Burlington Wisconsin and Rockford & Crystal Lake, Illinois

Autoset on both of these machines is phenomenal (at least for mig....haven't tried tig). I was very surprised how good it actually works. You may have to speed up your travel a bit to keep up with it, but it works really, really well.
 
Things look a little empty under there....
[MENTION=120071]mtbtim[/MENTION] & I yanked my transfer case & transmission today. I know what you're all thinking, & yes we will Make a video on how to remove the transmission.

Still on the fence about what I should buy but here is a picture in the meantime..

Put in a manual!

If it was a more straight forward process I.e. Plug n' play then I would def go that route or If someone did an awesome write up I'd be interested in attempting that option. There's so many electrical connections to everything i'm curious what you would do.. just leave them unplugged if you were to do a manual swap? I just don't have enough knowledge in the manny swap department
 
I used to see your 4Runner in town parked in the underground all the time when I'd go to work. As soon as I got mine your disappeared and I was disappointed I could never park next to you, but now that I see why I hope you get it back on the road soon!
 
Just do it already.
It's only money [emoji383]
Put in some extra hours at work
Maybe even start selling drugs, just a thought. Or you can go on the top ramen [emoji501] diet for a while.
We gotta go wheeling already [emoji1605]

I like the healthy encouragement ...

I have successfully maxed out my credit cards and picked up a transmission from San Bruno Toyota so now I finally have something to put back into my truck...

Hopefully everything falls into place & I'll be back on the road for my birthday on the 5th of March.

Rebuilt Toyota or new Toyota? Probably the best option either way.

As far as I know there aren't any "new" A340F transmissions that you can buy?...


But this is a remman'd from Melody Toyota, which is interestingly enough the same dealership I got my first 4runner from when I was 16!

It's crazy how things go full circle.

That's me! I work at the theater so half the time I park in the manager spot in the back. I used to be the old little red BMW that parked underground. It'd be a sweet birthday present to get your runner back on the road. I'll be sure to park next to you once your up and rolling again
