Alright! I have been asked to post pictures so many times but never got around to taking them, the other day I painted my rims [love them] and got new tires so I snapped a few pictures with my i phone, totoally forgetting to get the bumpers in, both are painted black.
Alright,
I got this thing last summer. It was..
1997 4runner Limited
leather
sunroof
197,000 miles
3" suspension lift
brush guard
2 12" SUBS
3" body lift [not on truck]
1.25" wheel spacers [found out just yesterday]
"Needed ac belt" [so he said]
For 4,700$
I had a 2007 4wd Nissan frontier, and wanted a 07 4runner or fj but wanted something paid off. Im glad I went this route.
I bought it unseen, other than a few pictures online. I was working 10 days on 4 days off and if I didn't get something I would have to wait another 10 days before I was off. I found this one the next state over in mississippi. Called the guy, drove there and picked it up, drove it to the title office and thats it.
Well they had camoflage seat covers and I noticed a few cigarette burns and the smell..
Once I got home I pulled the covers to reveal!!! Bad condition driver and ok condition passenger seat leather.. Whatever.. I went and bought a ac belt and put it on.. Only to watch it burn off.
Whatever, so I went without ac for a little bit [I was working at night so slept during the hot day anyways]
Well I wanted to clean the carpet.. With a pressure washer, it was pretty bad. So I said lets see if I can pull it out the truck.. I pulled it and decided I would either replace it or roll without it. I decided to roll without it! :fro:
Slipping on the metal floor got old and so did the loudness so I got some hurculiner, removed everything and hurculined the whole floor [pictures to come] This was a great idea, and whenever my floors get dirty I just pull the plugs and get the hose..
So I decided to fix the AC compressor. Pulled it and decided to just replace, I found one on ebay for 60$ and took the chance.. Hooked it up my self and brought it to a shop up the street. They did their thing and to my surprise and theirs it worked and was blowing so cold it fogged up the rear window!!
From there I did a few things..
Changed...
PCV VALVE
FUEL FILTER [DIRTY!!]
AIRFILTER
Belts
Oil and filter with synthetic
Differentials and Transfer Case Oil
Radiator Flush
Transmission Fluid and Filter
Battery
Starter [long story behind this one]
Hella Driving Lights (love these)
ABS DISABLE SWITCH
Rear U joint
Removed Pin striping
ISR
All with 0 knowledge about working on cars and never touched the underside of a car before.
As for the starter... I should have listened to people.. Toyota starters dont fail..
My truck failed to start once so I got a jump and was good..
It did it more and more untill no more start.. I pulled the starter, tried a few things [lube ect..] Brought it to a shop to get the whatever they are replaced 60$ installed!!!!!................Nothing.. Bring it to autozone trade it in for a new one.. 100$ AND!!!!!!!!!! NOthing.. Voltmeter said it was getting power.. Decided I would clean the terminals.. Took off the positive and snap! Terminal CONNECTOR was.. I don't know what to call it.. It just broke off. IT WAS A 90CENT TERMINAL THING!!
Anyways, she had been sitting with 265/75/16's with an egg for far too long.. Got some new tires and painted the rims..
In the bill of sale the guy put that he sold it to me for 10$. I HAD NO IDEA UNTILL I WENT TO PAY TAXES!! Then after selling a good bit of the extras I didn't want I basicly got it for 4500$ tt&l
