What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[hyken]

Replaced the rear heater core lines. They were seeping coolant, that's how rusted down they were. Dont ask me how they held on for this long.

Did you bend new lines or do they sell a replacement? I just cut the line and looped it with heater hose it was leaking so bad. But I’d like to get the rear heaters working again eventually

That's how I blew a head gasket. Major design flaw.

You can supposedly buy it new from Toyota, but I think it's like 100 bucks or so. I just went to a pull-your-part junkyard and got a nice used one for 10 bucks off of a 2000 Limited. It's a major PITA to snake down through the engine though...

Yeah I'm not sure what year they switched over but the newer lines were aluminum.

I put 315/75-16s on the truck.

Pretty pleased so far. It has spacers on the stock front shocks, whi CNN have the bushing completely blown out of. So it should quit rubbing when I get my 5100s installed

My mom was driving hers and ran out of coolant and overheated.

On mine that I bought a couple years ago, I was picking at rust underneath in the garage and that line drained all my coolant when a rust flake came off. Whew. Lucky that happened in the garage and not while driving or I would have overheated my 4runner too.

Drove it through a field

[Robmjr]

Got my 4xinnovations rear bumper on along with some new ome 861 springs and Sonoran steel rear body mount. Extremely pleased with the quality of the bumper.

I used to like my rigs high but nowadays i keep them low and close to stock. They ride better and have less issues.


Today my passenger caliper seized up. I knew it when I felt the pull and saw the blue smoke. Wheel was HOT.

Luckily I got 25% off a caliper at Advance and swapped it in no time. I could not get the drivers side bleeder screw loose to bleed so I left it. Brakes much better and I will be swapping out the drivers side this weekend.

Played with some vinyl...

That looks terrific! Or maybe 80’s rad
