What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[cfranck1]

That must be for the newer ones, that are shaped like coins. I figured out which one I need. its an A27 I think. Like an AAA but half as long. Autozone had some A23 but they were slightly too big. Looked at the local grocery store tonight but they didn't have them either. Maybe try radio shack tomorrow.

Thats good you figured out which one you do need, all those little batteries are a pain in the A**.
Yes, check Rat Shack, they should have the correct one. Just bring the old on in with you to double check.

Factory remote? The battery is a # 2016 2016 battery
They probably tried giving you a 2032; which is fatter in size.

You can find them at Best Buy, CVS, Walgreens, Radio Shack etc..

Oh ya, I did put these in last week.Osram Bilux H4 65/70watts Second set and I love them..

I'm in the market - why these particular bulbs out of curiosity?

They just a hair over stock wattage. So no fear of burning up wires. Last set I had in lasted close to 2 years.
They throw out a nice "whiter" light compared to the "yellow" light you get from a regular bulb. They don't have any coating on the bulb like some "other" bulbs, so you get maximum light output.
I tried most all other bulb outside of going to HID and these were the best I had.
The do make make other ones that are suppose to be even better, called Osram Night-Breakers
I wish I took a picture but I had one of these year old bulb in one and a new bulb in the other light bucket and you can notice a difference in light color.

Plus they are made in Germany.

Today I swapped tires and wheels with my Tacoma, Only reason Is the Tacoma has new tires which will fit the Sequoia wheels which I hope to find in the near future. And I'm trading in the Tacoma this weekend.

Those Tacoma wheels look amazing on the 4runner. Nice swap.

Went back to the wrecker and got some grey seatbelts with the DOT tags on them, and snagged a roof rack!

 

[fightman80]

Started it up, moved it forward about 3 feet, so I could open my one piece garage door.....still waiting on Fuel Injectors....

adjusted my throttle, knockdown and cruise cables. i never really paid any attention to those until i read on here about better throttle response for free. they were so loose i took out about a half inch or more slack out of each. its amazing to push on the gas pedal and she actually goes! plugs, wires, and clean the throttle body this weekend, its gonna be a completely new machine!

ended up doing plugs, wires, and cleaning the MAF and TB today. the old plugs didn't really look bad but i had shiny new ones on my work bench so needless to say they went in with my new fancy blue wires! after the work i did today she runs so smooth but seems like when I'm in drive it idles @ 750 when i shift into park it jumps up to 1200. if i tap on the gas pedal sometimes it will drop to 750 but not always. i can go under the hood and settle the TB all the way down with a little play in my cable but doesn't always settle on it own. is my throttle cable to tight maybe? i hope i am making sense here. any advice?

I ordered the 3" mandrel bends and tubing to build my new exhaust! I already have a gasket for the turbo-downpipe, and a 3" flexpipe. Just need to get a flange cut, and decide what muffler to use.

Might be a little tight, but you might try lubing it as well. there should be a little slack in the cable when engine off.

i cleaned it yesterday and lubed it up pretty good. I'm going to loosen it up today.
