What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[Dezert4Runner]

I was thinking the same rear, could you take some photos of how it mounted?

It only uses 3 bolts on each side of the frame. The 2 rear most factory ones underneath, and one that you have to drill the top of the frame to add for the 3rd bolt. You do have to cut a small triangle shaped piece off the back of the frame to clear the angled part of the mounting plate.

I just completed the Tundra Brake Upgrade on my 2000 4cyl. Best thing I've done to the T4R.

Installed spot lights, (they're getting the amber taken off and moved to the center) and bought fogs today and ordered LEDs for signals. Those will arrive monday. It will be ready for Moab come Thursday when I leave hahaha

Fixed the passenger side door switch, solving a non-problem but an annoyance . I usually use the FOB to unlock the truck, then open the passenger side door to throw in any extra junk I am carrying (coat, mask). Then I walk around to the driver door and open it to get inside. With a bad passenger side door switch, if I take longer than a minute to get to the driver door, the auto-lock locks me out. Super annoying, but no longer.

Cataclean has no impact on cat readiness. Cat readiness (All emissions readiness) is completely drive cycle based.

Quite possibly true. But I’d done everything. Cold start. Idle till warm. 30-35 for 15 minutes and 35-45 for 15. I’d literally driven well over 200 miles trying everything to get that damn sensor to go on and within 15 miles of the cleaner it worked. But I admit it could just be a coincidence. Haven’t noticed any difference in how it runs.

Touched up some paint on the frame, swapped my sway bar links, had to grind my calipers a little more, replaced my front bump stops, fixed my grille (one peg was loose), relocated my overflow bottle further down to make room for my side post terminals, epoxied my busbars down, put on some new stickers, painted my top plate spacers and refilled my tires. Busy day today :boink:

Passed NYS inspection after CEL went out by it's self.

After going through all of that Crap about the 02 sensor the CEL went out all by it's self got it inspected! so I'm good for another year.

We have a similar Bumper. I didn't go Amber but the Rigid White I guess it's called.

Had to put a water pump in mine. Thank the lord it was external.....

 

[3bears]

found out where my power steering fluid is going and my vibration is an inner tie rode....looks like I need a rack.....crap.
if it wasnt for it leaking , id just do the inner tie rod. still might and just keep dumping fluid in.
was going to do LBJ's.....but every single bolt is so stinking rusted, busted one, rounded another....outer tie rod castle nut just kept spinning.....had been continually soaking them for 2 days with PB blaster.
my last car was a rust free Oregon car....man that made life so easy.
not planning on keeping this 4runner.....watching for a better one.

Cleaned the MAF sensor, throttle body and the IAC valve. Truck was idling at 1500rpm when warm. After 368,000 miles I guess it was time! All squared away now. Figured out you can't reuse that rubber gasket for the IAC valve! :mad2:

Got my rear axle seal and bearing replaced. Also replaced my backing plate while I had everything off because it was pretty rusty.

 

[giguchan]

Rear axle eh?
Nobody will go near mine because it too is rusty(according to the dealer). I had the dealer drain/fill the gear lube. It has a weep. I have a feeling that might be next to be replaced. or something.

 

[wrpsuite]

Got around to removing my runningboards and trailer hitch which was rusting sandblasted painted reinstalled - tomorrow fluid film.

Pulled the seats out and shampooed my dirty ass carpet... I still havent gotten all the stains out. At least it doesnt smell like wet dog anymore.

Replaced my 4 year old led bulbs in my dash with standard incandescent bulbs. No more hot spots and seemingly appears brighter and cleaner!

[MENTION=424911]13rown[/MENTION] nice Rack! Looked at those but I ordered a Prinsu for the $avings. In the meantime, also did some silly little Mods that made a surprising difference.
1. Steering wheels wrap ($12.00 and dressed the interior up big time).
2. AVS window Vents installed.
3. Borla 40665 muffler welded in (I highly recommend)!
