What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[cashmoney]

Loved my reference speakers in my old dodge. Very clear and crisp. The RAAM mat made a huge difference in my car when I did the trunk. I need to do the bulk head and both doors on it but this 105* heat sucks the life out of you quick.

I finally finished carpeting my drawers. Not sure how long I'll be able to enjoy since I may have a 4th Gen in my future.

Did some prepping before winter. Like brand new...

Looks great. What products did you use?

Thanks. It is used 15w-40 oil. I saved it from when I did an oil change on my last diesel truck.

Park the 4Runner on a tarp. Use an air compressor with a spray gun. I spray everything except for the brakes and I try my best not to hit the exhaust.

I've been doing this for a couple years now trying to keep my stuff clean in the winter when they start throwing salt down. The oil does an excellent job protecting everything. The best part is that everything stays black for a while.

Installed my bumper this evening.

I think a satoshi grill would compliment your truck quite well.

New fuel filter, and degreased EVERYTHING. Getting ready to do some POR15 on the rear tomorrow. Figured I'd do the rear axle and piece it together from there. Next will be the rear frame, and then front areas. I want to see how the POR system works, and if I like it I'll continue down that road. If not I'll switch over to the Eastwood stuff.

Your right. I'll have to look into it.

Removed the passenger seat followed by the rear heater unit, flushed the pipes and the mini rad, got a mountain of crud out, finally I have heat blowing in the back ! Tomorrow Saturday getting the rear diff cover cut off and replaced with a new cover from barnes4WD. Mine began leaking two weeks ago, new cover arrived just in time !

Tried to blow the motor up so I would have an excuse to drop an LS motor in it. I failed.

You and my husband both....'cept he keeps not failing at the blowing up part.

 

[cashmoney]

Haha. I'd love an ls but it ain't in the cards at the moment. Doesn't mean I'm not going to try haha

Soundproofed the roof:

And finished the passenger compartment sound barrier + vinyl floor install:

Cargo area tomorrow, then I can test drive it and get some dB readings to see how much this hassle has changed things.

looking forward to the results...Nice install. If it ends up being a huge diff it will be on my short to do list

Replaced the water pump :ybrick: also got some 4th gen five spoke wheels

Just picked up my first toyota. Apparently has a blown motor so just finished pulling it. Think it's worth my time to inspect this motor and rebuild? I've been trying to find a junkyard motor but apparently the 3rz is hard to find up here!

Drained the radiator and engine for the 8th time in two months. Still coming out orange from the stop leak but it's getting less orange each time. Going to work on coming up with a contraption that hooks a water hose to the lower radiator hose so I can run the engine and have clean water pumping through it at the same time and hopefully clean out the entire system. I'd like to be able to run actual coolant in this thing at one point.

Moved

Wednesday left Weatherford, TX in my '97 pulling a fully loaded 5 x 8 cargo trailer and drove to Hattiesburg, MS. Long day but it drove and pulled fine.
