It’s a pretty easy job in all honesty if you have the correct tools; the annoying part is getting the weird flex hose from the charcoal canister to the overfill check valve off.
I’ve done it once before, just take your time and follow the Timmy Toolman video and you’ve got this no problem!

The heck is this part? I've never even seen this before. Steering shaft seal...?
exactly what it is
Just an FYI, while fixing up 04 Tacoma 3.4L to drop into an 02 4runner, found that the A/C tensioner bearing uses a snap ring to hold said in vs 4runners (don't know if some 4runner also came with said), making it a snap to replace. just sharing some random shit I found interesting.

Nothing exciting, but the wife's battery died and to get her to her job I gave her the recent AAA battery from my rig. Her beatdown Lexus also fits a 24F. She proceeded to buy herself the wrong battery so I returned it added $100 for a "this battery does not fit your vehicle, sir" Group 48 (DH6) battery and let her keep mine. I know, I know...Optima this and that, but it's a helluva lot better than the AAA roadside replacement I was running. Fits pretty well - just a bit too short and not a compatible shape. I had a piece of wood in the back that made the hold-down hold down and I trimmed the ridge off the fender-side of what I believe was the original Toyota plastic battery tray and it fits with plenty to spare. For about $100 I'm OK with it. Not done wiring/tidying things but a lunch hour well spent.

Replaced fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
Was going super smooth until one of the small bolts connecting the clamshell together snapped, and the lower plenum piece was already torqued to the manifold gasket. Thankfully I had a spare lower plenum (long story) and the gasket survived being reused. What I would give for more space and a parts car for times like this. :ranger:
Throttle definitely seems a little stronger and power is much more consistent. I think it was time!
Edit: just got back from a drive. With my old equipment sometimes if I floored it I would drop a gear and rev up to 4000ish - then other times it would stay in it's current gear and lazily gain speed like I suddenly had half the power. Now it'll downshift and rev to 4500-5000rpm pretty reliably. My old injectors checked out fine with a multimeter but clearly something was up with them; maybe the solenoid starting to go like what Motorwest described

Are there issues with Optima batteries? I've heard they're decent and worth the money

Where did you source your parts?
I've been having a weird intermittent starting issue that I have a hunch could be the fuel pressure regulator on it's last leg.
Was it a tough job?

I think they are perfectly good, well-made, and are heavily abused by numerous motorsports teams. There was grumbling several years back when the company was bought by Johnson Controls (renamed Clarios) and all battery production was moved to Monterrey, MX. Maybe there was a quality decline but nothing a punter like be would notice. Unfortunately, I am prone to 'upgrade' everything I get a chance to. I posted this mainly to let people know a Group 48 'fits' since I haven't read anything about them in the forums...

I used Motorwest injectors and an OEM regulator (p/n 23280-62030). Motorwest also offers new crush washers for the banjo bolts
It's not necessarily hard, it's just taking off the intake just like if you were gonna do valve cover gaskets. If you've never done it before and don't know about all the little accessories than can hang you up then it might be a little bit of a chore but Timmy has a video that can help you through it. Getting the intake off itself is much harder and more time consuming than removing the fuel rails
If you don't plan on doing injectors, you should get new o-rings as they're """one time use""" technically. I've reused them before several times but it's not good practice and just because you can get away with it doesn't always mean you will. They're cheap to replace and a leak would be shitty

Nice! Wish that seal was still available for the 96.
I was able to borrow some stuff out of an '02, but not that. Was planning on using the u-joint too since I was messing around with it, but they're also different. The 96's turned out to be in good shape, better than the junkyard '02 u-joint.

I've had a good experience with mine. If you ever have problems you can easily swap them out at the auto parts store you purchase from.
