After 10 years without, I'm again the proud owner of a 4Runner!

Bought fourharts56 2000 SR5 sport this past Wednesday in VA. Five days, about 1,200 miles and a bunch of fun stops later and it's back home in Hot Springs Arkanas.

Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
 
Got the valve covers all clean and found some electrical isuues

Today I ditched my brush guard and my running boards! If anybody wants either of them, they're all yours. I have no use for them anymore.

I ordered my aircabinman 15 piece OEM timing belt kit from eBay last night. Now I need to decide what radiator to ultimately get.
 
Drove mine about 80 miles south to Quantico, VA to look at a '04 Jetta as a potential DD. Turned out to be a complete waste of time and fuel, F-N car flipper losers. Time in the runner reviled that the P0420 CEL seems to be a thing of the past *knocks on wood * and I still have a drive shaft vibration in the rear, although not as bad as before I replaced the rear u-joint.

I'll drop the DS and leave it at the drive train shop on Monday, have a pro look at it. Maybe it just needs to be re-balanced, I have no idea anymore.
 
New to The Forum, love these types of threads.

Replaced rear hatch struts, hatch now works like a new model. Replaced halogen headlight bulbs with LEDs, huge difference.

Gutted the dash in preparation for a new stereo.

Lots more work to come.

I re-aimed my headlights a few nights ago.

The sprockets where you insert a screwdriver in were stripped so I had to access the part of the adjuster where you use a 10mm socket, took a while because there wasn't much space to swing the ratchet but I finally had the vertical aim where I wanted.

Adjusting horizontal aim on the other hand was a failure :yell: Like the vertical adjusters the screwdriver sprockets were stripped. Couldn't get to the 10mm adjusters from behind because the radiator support is in the way. Used a wrench instead and it didn't really adjust. The threads on the adjusters were seized from rust.

So I'll have to remove the headlights from the truck then take them apart to clean up the threads, or just leave the lights as they are (again,vertical aim is fine,so I'm not blinding oncoming traffic) and just finally do my planned projector retrofit with new headlights with new un-seized adjusters that I'll slather with anti-seize.
 
I agree! I’m installing one! Im a Firefighter so it’s ok...[emoji849] You just never know when you’ll need an axe.
