Timing belt day! Everything was toast at 230k and all components were factory from 99'

What year odyssey nozzles and how did they fit? I have been wanting to replace mine forever.

Direct fit. Gives you a spray pattern instead of streams
Edit: should state this only fits the front and there's unfortunately no alternative for the rear
This is the pattern you end up with. I ended up raising them after this, since if you spray them at highway speeds it'll just hit really low.

Replaced lateral control rod bushings. And I just learned it's called 'panhard' because it was invented by French automobile manufacturer, Panhard.

I want to believe I feel a difference, especially going over speed bumps but it's probably my imagination.

First time using my new 20 ton press. Was a bit overkill but the rear upper and lower control arm bushings should arrive Friday so at least I know it works.

But the real hero was the Toyota jack. I couldn't get that side in even with my biggest purse.

Added 20” 5th gen wheels

Never seen this on a 3rd gen 4Runner so when the opportunity came up I thought I’d try it and I think it looks pretty good.

Well, they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... past that, I was taught that if I have nothing nice to say, I shouldn't say anything at all.... so....



:crickets:


The sag in the back is pretty obvious, considered replacing the springs?

I ordered a bunch of stuff with my bonus in March, and it if all finally starting to arrive. Installed my addicted off road front bumper and Gobi roof rack. I didn't order the Stinger, but it showed up on my doorstep with it. I flopped back-n-forth wanting it, so i guess they made my decision for me.

Skid plates, sliders and CBI dual swing out are in getting put on soon.

Sadly my grinder slipped and cut my A/C line, so i get to fix that now too.

Do a compression test. If your compression test checks out good then I would suspect a bad injector. The only bad gasket that would cause a single cylinder to misfire is the head gasket.
OK, thanks.
The reason I mentioned the gasket (should have said intake plenum rather than manifold to be clear) was because I changed it from paper to metallic after I removed it to replace an injector. If there was a leak at the two plenum halves at the #4 pipe, could this not cause the condition?

Try spraying carb cleaner (or similar) on that gasket area while the engine is running and warmed up. If the rpm's change then you've found your problem. If you disassemble to check the gasket you may or may not be able to see anything wrong with the gasket.

Which fuel injector did you replace and where did you get the fuel injector from?

Thanks, I'll try that.
I pulled the injector from my '02 parts vehicle and replaced my #3 with it. I cleaned and installed new o-rings on all of them.
 
Installed new skid plate up front... found that I blew my front sway bar bushings and have a leak from the drivers side front diff seal.:banana:
 
Sprayed all the ignition parts with this, and the miss went away. Cleared the codes and they didn't come back (yet). It had been very wet here recently and there was a freeze the night before the roughness started. Fingers crossed as I'm not too thrilled at the prospect of messing with the injectors.

Replaced rear upper and lower control arm bushings.

I was pleasantly surprised to see just the rubber bushing style, instead of the metal sleeve type. I read a post yesterday that I somehow missed, saying the '96 came with those but after watching Timmy and reading other posts in this forum I was prepared for the metal sleeves, directional arrows, tons of heat, etc... The heavy duty ratchet strap worked wonders moving the axle about. Didn't have to bash in or out a single bolt.

Cutting the rubber ends off those old bushing though - 16 of them! Not fun.

I did the panhard bar bushings earlier this week. Have also done front/rear sway bar and steering rack bushings, and with the new front and rear shocks and springs she's riding much better.

Took me 6 hours with prep and cleanup but hey, I did it. And I'm a Web Developer. Once again, thanks to everyone here. This place is priceless.
