I like that roof rack! Be great to glass off of!

Cool to see hunters on here, im from Az, you guys should try hunting coues whitetails!

Damn camofreak that coues on the right is a monster or no? I would love to go hunt those one day, I have some nice mules but a coues would be cool to add. Are those from this year? Yeah it will be used to glass this season, thanks.

The smaller one was my buck from last year, and the bigger one was this novembers, he taped right at 80" and change, pretty dang good buck for a leftover tag. I always put in for the strip, and then get a leftover whitetail tag when i dont get drawn.

If you can glass, and are physically in decent shape, pick up a leftover tag down in southern Az, whitetails everywhhereee, you wont be disappointed.

Heys guys, need some advice on how the hell to take off the front fuel line from the fuel filter, its seized/rusted tight as *&^%! I was able to break the rear one loose but ended up rounding out the front one. Any tips/tactics you guys have done for this.

Are you using flare wrenches? I've always gotten lucky and normal wrenches have worked for me but for the price of HF flare wrenches I plan on buying a set for my fuel filter when I get around to doing it.

If you have already rounded it your best option is a ton of penetrating lube (PB blaster), the largest set vice grips you can get in there, and some luck. Impact also helps with rusted fasteners so try tapping the wrench with a hammer some too, obviously don't beat the shit out of it and break the line off....

So today I changed out the rear o2 sensor on the runner, the previous owner had changed out the upper one within the last year. There was literally 10 percent of the nuts left holding it on, the rest had rotted. I really got a good look at the undercarriage and it doesn't look bad at all, mainly just little rust on nuts etc. No major rust damage which I was worried about being that it was in NY for a few years before coming to NM.

Cool to see another Land of Enchantment fellow on here. Where are you exactly. Looks like up north
 
I have seen others doing these as a way to share info and keep a detailed log of mods and maintenance which I thought was a great idea, so here's mine.

thanks for the advice...I think a flare wrench is out of the question at this point :censored:
yeah I guess time is the only solution at this point, i'll keep spraying and trying it, I will probably have to buy a new fuel line anyway so I don't keep that rounded one on there for the next time.
 
It's Andrew. Charlene is what I named my T4R, lol. But yea I am in Las Cruces right now going to school

Where are you from? My son left last weekend down there for school. He has helped me work on the 4runners I've had, he likes them too.

Yea, I absolutely love mine! I've done all the wrenching on mine. It's a ton of fun to work on it! I'm sure he's seen it around town. I was born and raised in Rio Rancho

Well guys I pulled off the roof rack and put the new welder to work. Added some supports on the floor of it, a mounting plate/support for the led lights and some cool little flat plate supports in the shape of an hourglass that imo give it some character and function. Already had the 20" lightbar on there but added the two 3" spotters to fill in the ends. Really happy with the way it turned out, is much more sturdier than before, and the best part was I got a little practice for the next project...bumpers, to be continued...

So I went to lowes yesterday and got some supplies to mount a shovel, axe, small saw, and a hi-lift to my roof rack. Well after looking at things I wasn't really sure how I was going to mount all that stuff up there without looking like the beverly hillbillies, lol. So I decided to make this platform that slides into the pockets for the cargo area cover. I am pretty happy with the way it stayed. Was able to mount the shovel, axe, and small saw on it while keeping the bottom open for other items I need to put back there, and I will make some brackets later to mount the hi-lift on the roof rack. Check it out...

This weekend I fabbed up some mounts for the hi-lift on my roof rack, and gave an old hi-lift my dad gave me a long time ago a facelift. Was happy with the way everything turned out, but once I put that extra weight on there it rattles on the bumps. Its the crossbars that have give, not the rack or brackets, I guess i'll have to remove them cross bars on the oem rack and fab up some brackets to mount it directly to the rails, this things pissing me off already...

I have a question for all you 4runner pros, I am having trouble with my 00 4runner throwing a code (P0136) for a bad rear o2 sensor. I bought one from Summit Racing and installed it and a couple days later the engine light came on again. So today I called the dealer to get a price on this sensor and the guy ran my vin to see if the 4runner was a CA emissions vehicle or not, well according to him it came out as not being a CA emissions but if you look at the window sticker attached under optional equipment it says CA Emissions on it, could this be a typo, who do I believe, how can I know for sure because there are different o2 sensors dependent on this, any ideas, advice? Thanks



Found this in the glove box, thought it was cool.

As far as I know, the easiest way to check is to count the cats. CA will have 2.
 
offroadxplr- I haven't had a chance to check if it has 2 cats but I will...

I called 2 different dealerships yesterday and gave them my VIN and they both confirmed that my 4runner is a CA emissions vehicle which matches whats on the original window sticker. So it threw code P0136 (oxygen sensor circuit bank 1 sensor 2)heres the info I got from the dealer, hopefully it will help someone else in the future.

Bank 1 Sensor 1=Front sensor that's closer to the header
Toyota part#: 89467-35011 $225.16
Bank 1 Sensor 2=Rear sensor that's behind the cat
Toyota part#: 89465-49135 $180.70

I put those part numbers in Amazon and found them cheaper and they are Toyota parts so check there before buying from the dealer...

After wasting money on one from summit racing, I ordered a toyota oem o2 sensor (rear) from amazon and it came in today. Me and my boy installed it so hopefully it will take care of that engine light and the little miss I started to notice at low rpms. I will update if it takes care of it or if it turns back on.

BTW-my 4runner is a California emissions vehicle and does have 2 cats

I was at Pep Boys pricing a water pump for my sons truck when i saw a section of LED bulbs so i started researching on here what bulbs went where. I read on a few different places that the map light uses the same bulb as the dome and cargo lights so i bought the same 3175 bulbs for all, well when i got home i pulled the covers off and the dome and cargo bulbs were the 3175 bulbs but the map light took 2 BA9s bulbs rather than the 3175, i don't know why it lists my 2000 as running these and it doesn't. Well i didn't find the BA9s bulbs at Pep Boys so i ordered them and the license plate bulbs off of ebay today, should be in next week so hopefully they work!
