My 99' Highlander, 5 speed build

[PitbullRescuer]

just let me know, ill come by. It'd be cool to check out your t4r collection haha

Might not be much of a collection by then. I have a buyer lined up for my '00. Just need to finish the motor swap. I did buy another one though last night. I have to go pick it up this weekend.

 

[junr]

you are too funny with these 3rd gens. Let me know time and place for the 25th....maybe I'll bring my otre's and lbj's and we can do them too!

I'll coordinate with my calendar...aka, wife, to see what is going on that weekend.

Sounds good. Not sure if it'll be at my house or down in DE at Zach's but I'll let you know.

Good day for my 4Runner. Picked up:

OEM Taco LBJ's
OEM Taco OTRE's
KYB upper strut mounts (new top hats)
OEM upper shock hardware
OEM Rear Main Seal (going to change it when I do the clutch)
OEM Fly Wheel bolts (just to be safe)
eBay used OEM replacement Dash Clock

Oh, and I grabbed another set of 8 wraps from my buddy out west. If anyone is looking for a set, let me know.

Another one? what year?

Sounds like a good day to me with all those new parts!

I might be looking for a set, I'm thinking about a lift and i'm torn between the tundra / 8wrap lift or a complete OME setup. How much for them?

A '97, 5 speed with eLocker. . With issues, which is why I bought it.

I'd go Tundra TRD/8 wrap over OME 8 days/week. Much nicer ride. You'll be so much happier with this set up than the OME.

It's bada$$ and black,, what about Action Jackson?

Nice! I don't know how you keep finding all these 5speeds, i don't think i've ever even seen one expect on here.

i heard it was a much nicer ride which is why i was considering it, i sent you a PM about the 8wraps if someones got dibs already, its cool.

 

[JohnsD90]

Dude, you gotta stop buying this sh*t lol, you should probably visit a doctor cause i think you are sick with something, its like 5 4runners, and its only been like a year.

Atleast its stick! Looks good.

I find the most 5 speeds in the home depot parking lots weirdly, none are for sale but you could offer the owners money.

i mean i bought mine off my dad when i was looking to upgrade from a first gen, and it has super low mileage so i think ill keep it, the next one i get has to be a 5pd though. i actually haven't seen one for sale in this area.

I know of a '97 that will be for sale locally pretty soon...

haha ill have to see how my funds are when its all done, i'd love a 5spd. My inspections due on the my 00 this month and it needs a few things so that'll have to get through first.

 

[PitbullRescuer]

Lifted it on Saturday.

Tundra TRD's on 5100's
7.5 wraps with Black Toyota LC shocks
SS Adjustable Track Bar
OEM TACO LBJ's, OTRE's & ITRE's

Pics to come. Still have to throw in the diff drop, Tundra brakes, rear brake lines and swaybar & steering rack bushings. Ran into a few problems during the install so we ran out of time.

 

[junr]

How long did it take to install everything?

That's an impressive list to get done in one day.

Start to finish was about 12 hours. BUT, one of the OEM Ball Joints was wrong so I had to go track down a new one, had to run out to pick up a Spring Compressor again (long story) and found out my bottle jack was MIA. So in reality, about 8 hours. And 3 cases of beer between 4 of us.

 

[junr]

sounds like a hell of a time. Have you tried out your TW tires? I have to get more details from Ardmore Toyota about why they couldn't balance them.

[SCRunner12]

I say you get banned until pics are posted. I'm looking forward to your review of the TW's as they will most likely be my next tire.

 

[PitbullRescuer]

I didn't mount the TW's yet. I still have to paint my LC wheels. I planned on doing it Sunday but the 3 cases of beer among the 4 of us squashed that idea.
