What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Running boards And huge brush guard hit the scrap pile. And washed it for the first time after owning it. I bought it yesterday.

Nice ride man,
This is the year i should have waited for.... Digital ODO and proper round knobs for HVAC? you have owned it for 48 hrs and already the RB'S are OFF!!! took me 16 years to take em off you dont waste anytime.. I found out there is a market for the old parts.. The body moldings you have on there are worth money and so are the RB's..
Good Luck.

 

[Runner4twitch]

Yea I couldn't stand the RBs. Not that there off it looks higher off the ground. Thanks man. Il try and sell them.

 

[giguchan]

It does look higer off the ground i could not belive it when i took mine off.. infact years ago i think that some of the old skool P/U'S had no Rb's look real high!

I sent mine out your way to the west coast..

 

[Runner4twitch]

Haha yea for sure. Taking the 150+lb bumper the guy had mounted on the front definitely helped with the height too. It was severely stink bugged before

 

[giguchan]

I'm putting on a new bumper shortly.. not quite 150 more like under 100 those HD bumpers are pretty cool.. they look great..

 

[Runner4twitch]

They are nice. I was hoping to go for a small tube bumper

 

[giguchan]

oh ok.. got it.... i did not kow what look you were going for.... hope you find what you are looking for.
my factory bumpers are tore up the rear has the typical 97 rust hole and the front had grey spot where the chrome came off from where the rain water washed down the channel.
best of luck.

 

[Runner4twitch]

That sucks. Hope you find what you need as well.

 

[giguchan]

Thx..

Just finished painting fender flares to match front and rear bumpers with Krylon Fusion hammered graphite.
Installed 1.25 spidertrax spacers, cleaned blower fan, and turned my front icons up a half inch.

Finally cleaned the inside of t4r and steam cleaned.

Time to get it dirty again

I got around to installing the manual antenna "Taco Whip" mod. It seems to have solved the problem I was having with FM radio static after installing a Kenwood HU. Since this is the kids get around vehicle, I don't have to worry about them breaking the automatic antenna anymore.

Is anyone looking for a working electric antenna?

finally installed the tranny cooler and cleared some engine codes for the evap system. My LCD HVAC control unit is acting up again, so i may be looking to swap that out soon

Just replaced both CV axles today. This was the first time i ever tackled a cv replacement but luckily thing went smooth. first side tome me about an hour and a half to do and the second side took 40 mins. I found this link with a wicked write up that helped A LOT Toyota Maintenance: CV Axle Replacement on 3rd Generation 4Runners and Tacomas

Sliders welded on (few days ago).

Rear Bumper Mod

I tucked the trailer hitch way up into the rear bumper so it is out of the way, but still functional.
