Quote for service...

[Snookster]

whats going on guys, been a while since I posted here. The runner is commin up on some serious maintanence. Can someone possible price this stuff out for with that has had to do this recently. Just need a ballpark figure on a list of things, individually or a total thanks guys.

BTW its a 99 limited, 4x4, locking rear diff, trd exhaust, trd supercharger.

Also, any other suggestions for maintanence I might have missed. Thanks fellas....

timing belt
water pump
AC serviced
belts
rotate tires
oil change
window tint 15% all around
a bit of body work (spot of rust on the hood, some rust on the driver side A pillar, small dents in rear bumper, small dent in front bumper)
New paint job (if I did the same two tone green and gold, or if i paint the whole runner a new color)
supercharger fluid change
smaller pulley
boost guage
tranny temp guage
AFR Gauge
and new seat covers all around. just waterproof tan ones made from neo

wel will see where this brings me as far as price goes and that will depend on what else I need. Its coming down to service the runner or get a new car. I want a trailblazer SS. BUt I just bought a new house and have stuff I need to do before I get a new ride. ex: roof, ac, fence, re-sod fron yard, rear deck, and some other landscaping. Not to metion the boat is gonna need service soon, and possibly new gel coat..... ahhh bills, bills bills...

here's the reason I haven't been around for a while

thanks again guys

edit: shortened the list after talking to my father (the previous owner). I forgot he did a bunch to it before I purchased it from him.

anyone know a good place for parts online?

Wow man. Sounds like you have a nice 4runner. That is some expensive maintenance though. It might come out to about half of what the 4runner is worth. We will see.

The tint will run you about $150-$250.

I would say around $2,000 for a good paint job and the repair work.

I'm not really sure on the other stuff.

Edit: You can replace sections of your rear bumper if I'm not mistaken. There are three sections, the left, center, and right. This could be useful if the dents are only on one section.

Yes you can. My new drivers side rear bumber is at the shop right now getting powder coated and painted. It's replacing my dented side bumper.

I just paid $550 last week for:

-timing belt
-water pump
-spark plugs
-drive belts
-oil change

Hope that helps a little bit

thanks for the response.

another thing I forgot to mention. The truck has almost 150K miles on it. Anything else you guys can suggest for maintenance? I just got 4 new tokicos off shox.com

should I look into new springs as well. My suspention sometimes feels like I am in a mexi ride.

Benormus,

I need just what you're describing; local quotes are MUCH high than yours. Was that a dealer or a private shop? Thanks...

for my 98 limited (in the bay area)
i just paid 1,200 for a timing belt/water pump.
it kinda hurt....

That was at a small garage in South Minneapolis. My dad knows the owner and my whole family takes our cars there, including my dad's lexus and my mom's volvo. He might just give us good deals. But I have always been extremely happy with his work and probably won't go anywhere else.

If I were you, I would look around at small shops. They will save you a lot. They may take a little extra trust, but I found a good one and I don't see a reason to take my runner anywhere else.
