jay00-00 Limited Desert Dune-Build

Cool thanks for the update I think I may have already talked to him by mistake and back out because the weather for the time being was being interesting here.... What your over all plans for your ride are going full out everything or are u going for something simple

I'm not really sure yet, I want to lift it and put bumpers next, and just go from there, as long as it's running good I will likely keep making little upgrades along the way
 
went and did some shed hunting but the conditions were less than favorable. About 4-5 inches of snow and snowing first day of April. Saw about 1000 head of elk with all the bulls seen still wearing their horns. Gonna wait a couple weeks and try again.

So jealous of those! I love the way they look on 3rd gens!

That's how I am, I have been looking for a few months and finally found these for $380, they weren't as cheap as I would have liked but compared to the others I had found, they were way cheaper.

Last night I did a second transmission drain and fill. Didn't drop the pan just drained what I could out of the drain plug. Last time I took out 4.5 qts. and this time I took out about 5.5 qts. and replaced it.

I also got one of them AC Pro cans to recharge the AC system. Used most of the can putting it between 30 and 35 psi. Did the test on the bubble and it worked as recommended. Turn on vehicle, have someone turn on AC full blast, when its off you will see the bubble clear and when the AC is turned on it will fill up with air bubbles and go from clear to white, after about 10 seconds it should clear up again if working properly. At first I did about half the can and the bubbles weren't clearing up and that means you need more Freon. After I added more they went away after the 10 seconds or so. Seems to be blowing a lot colder but haven't tested it in the heat of the day.

Did an oil change with Castrol GTX 5-30 and a Fram Tuff Guard oil filter. This was the first oil change I had done on this and let me tell you, it was a royal pain in the ass, the design of this is ridiculous, next time should be a little easier as now I know what I'm up against.
 
Lol wtf


Sent while pulling out a Ford

lol, hackers or cyber dumbasses post that to my thread every so often. It was my first post of the thread and for some reason every so often they repost it, not sure why, hence me telling em to go fly a kite!
 
sold my 4runner and bought a 2002 Tacoma trd 4 door with rear locker, onto my next project, thanks all for the information and guidance.

Guess we can't be too mad, at least you stayed in the Toyota family. Good luck with the Taco build.
