What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[PhdNPrerunners]

I've heard of these mythical liners but though they stopped making them long ago? Where did you get it?

I bought it from a guy in San Antonio. This is the second one I have ever seen and the only one I have seen in person.

Also did pads today. First since TBU. The high quality OEM pads. Let's say they really needed it. Lol.

Today I got gas. Had a lady in the passenger seat of a CRV staring at me as I was cleaning the windshield. I turned and looked at her and she got excited, waved, gave me a thumbs up and said "I like your car" haha. Maybe she was just jealous that her husband doesn't drive a badass off-road machine like a 4Runner.

. . . . .You Should have asked her if she needed a ride?

I replaced all my rear control arms and swapped out my center console for an unmolested one... (I had cut out the bottom section of it to instal a CB and I'm gonna be using that area now for a UHF/VHF radio and a smaller CB)

Maybe she has her own at home and she's jealous you actually got to drive yours. The things we girls do to please our mans. Like ride in the passenger seat. Like ride in not a 4Runner.

I had to search back through the thread because i thought i recognized this 4runner i parked beside outside advance auto today. I said to my kid wow look at this sick 4runner and she said "we can make ours sicker" lol. I need to order some sliders now.

That's awesome, man. Thanks for the compliment. I was helping a local forum member put some Tundra brakes on his rig. Failed. Ran into a seized brake line nut into the caliper. That's what I was doing at the parts store. We were on a time crunch as well. Done this 3 times and have never had that happen. Very disappointing. It's always something.
Anyway, if you're in the area, look me up and send me a PM. I always like meeting new 4Runner folks. I reside near the Oakview area.

Replaced the PCV valve and grommet. Removing the old one was a PITA!! While replacing it I noticed that there was a lot of nasty build up inside. Is that something I should worry about/clean out ASAP?

 

[01thunder]

hit the rear bumper plastic piece with some heat to make it look better.

 

[GeorgeFF]

Nice! How many miles do you get on those tires?

PCV, EFI and Auto Climate Control

Today I replaced my PCV valve and grommet. Should've done this when replacing spark plugs/wires a few weeks ago but wasn't aware it needed to be done.

The grommet was very brittle and a lot of it ended up just inside the valve cover. I was able to retrieve all of it with some surgical type tweezers and needle-nose pliers. Also took my EFI relay switch out of the fuse box for 30 minutes with the battery still connected to reset mapping.

Last Saturday, I reinstalled my Auto Climate Control unit that hadn't been working correctly. I shipped it off to @jrzee2000tr4ltd to be fixed. He did a great job repairing the unit and even replaced the lights with LED's of my color choice.

Here's his ebay listing for this service...Toyota 4Runner 4 Runner Limited Climate Control Heat AC Repair 99 00 01 02 | eBay...thanks John!

Installed day star extended bump stops to help stuff my 35"s. Super easy install

Well, it dove super nice, and the interior was very clean,

but it was a little to rusty for my taste under the vehicle, and even had some rust forming on some of the window trims. I found out the vehicle started out in Michigan.



The search continues!
