hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. Im proud and excited to be picking up my 2000 4runner limited this weekend. I currently have a 500whp+ evo8 and have been looking for something to be "daily duty" while im finishing school. My dad has had a 1990 land cruiser (absolutely loved and would have gotten it as first car if gas wasnt close to $5/gal at the time :happens: ) and a 2005 4runner (traded in because he needed v8 and 4wd... he had a 6cyl 2wd 4runner :dammit: ). He loves the older yotas, and got me into them so here I am haha.
my 4runner:
2000 4runner limited, 2wd, v6, 140k miles. loaded with every option and kept in immaculate shape. owner just put on new tires and brakes too, and has records of service. i dont have a personal pic yet since he still has the truck, but its bone stock black/tan color scheme with tan leather/wood interior.
and just because im "that guy", my evo: :driving:
2003 evolution VIII gsr, built 2.0l motor, 61mm dual ball bearing turbo, quartermaster twin disk clutch w/hydro throw out bearing, and many supporting mods lol. low boost set at 27psi on pump gas, hopefully to be tuned on high boost and meth injection or E85 soon!
glad to be part of the community, even if i dont post here often. I always rely on forums for trouble shooting, community help, second opinions, etc. and ive already started looking around here.
Apparently i need to either replace the 4runners radiator or do an auto tranny cooler asap. Separate tranny coolers have many pro's in my book, and I see the b&m 70268 is a popular choice? anything i should be aware of when performing this? im no mechanical idiot, but i have never worked on a toyota before, so any insight would be greatly appreciated. ill probably post this redundant topic in the proper sub-section, but if someone whose done it has a few spare minutes to shoot me a pm i would greatly appreciate the help!
