Supra725 Build Thread

got a question..

my rig is slowly creeping to the 300k club and what kind of tune up would be recommended?

I have in mind.

-spark plugs and wires
-pcv valve
-change oil and filter
-transmission fluid
-rear diff,front diff, transfer case fluid
-fuel filter
-new radiator? or replace the coolant.
-timing belt?
-fuel pump?
 
most of that isn't very expensive...

it just depends on how long it has been since it was changed last...

preventative maintenance is the best maintenance....


however, with a rig that has 300k!!!!!!! i would consider looking for another 4runner with less mileage unless you are the original owner and know how your rig has been treated....

i threw in the towel at 265k and bought one with 120k........ your rig looks to be in good condition... i would get some $$$$ while you still can and swap over your upgrades tot he new one....

OP is the original owner. Totally worth it IMO. Besides... you don't throw out old 4Runners; you fix them!

you are on the money, the rig has been in the family since 6 miles back in 1999.
 
well..

finally one of the dash light burned out and I was thinking about switching it to led's.

does anyone have the list for all the bulbs for it? anyone have a write out on how to change out the bulbs?
 
so I had an issue tonight..

while getting out my car, I hit the lock switch but it didn't click all the way.. I checked the fuse and is all good.. I'm leaning towards either battery going downhill or the actual solenoid itself.. the battery is about 15 months old. sometimes when I go crank it, it take a little more time than it should be..

what could it be?

also, the passenger sides axle seals is going again.... I don't know if i should dump more $$ into it and fix both the seals again for the 5th time or what...
 
well. friend of mine recommend an local metal shop..

I asked him for an replica of the shrockworks front bumper and the cbi rear bumper design..

his price is $900 for the front before paint and $1200 for the rear cbi style bumper before paint.

is that an okay price before paint? the shrockworks is about $1049 before shipping + paint and about $1900 before shipping..

the builder recommended painting it vs powder coating.. but I'm leaning towards powder coating it vs painting it.. I don't mind spending a few more coin on it looking nice than crap. did anyone painted theirs?

well. I went by the dealer yesterday to pick up some parts.. and while i was there, they had an trd double cab tacoma.. and when i saw the sticker.. I almost fainted.. they are asking close to $46k for it.. when did the tacoma's get that pricey?
 
that's Tundra price territory we are looking at.. hell, I can probably squeeze an crew cab diesel with the price i be paying for an tacoma.
