What did you do with your 4runner today?

[Tayzorz]

Well, after a year of whining, my PS pump finally shit the bed. Yay old school non-power steering trucks! -_-

Join the club!! It's not that bad to replace though

Just replaced my PS fluid today using almost 2 quarts worth of drain and fills of Castrol Transmax ATF. I jacked up the front end so I can turn the wheel lock-to-lock in between drain and fills. Just think it's ironic with all these talks of PS pumps lately. My truck also turned 124k miles today and the fluid was probably never replaced!

Yeah it's just money that's my issue.

Nice looking Taco there ^ As well as that 3rd gen too!!.... NO Matter if it's a 3rd or 4th gen, That front Armour definitely sets things apart!! :whoo:

Yeah definitely a great looking bumper on the 3rd

[MENTION=84680]wadle5[/MENTION] love the lights in the grille of that white taco!!!!!

White taco was great, believe it or not my truck out of the 3 had the lowest miles at 94k, the 06 Taco had 140k, and the 3rd gen had 277k. I need to catch up already

Parallel parking with no power steering sucks. Lolol.

And for those of you who think "bah, how bad could the truck be without power steering" go to your truck, turn the key to the on position but don't start it, and try to turn the wheel. Good lord are my arms sore lol

Ya, rust was the killer, and we had a floor jack break. Even with a master tech, myself, [MENTION=72341]NJshadow93[/MENTION] and some other guys it took forever - I think things just never go as planned. Even with my LR UCAs, with a ball joint puller and impact wrench it still took me 2 hours - but i'm just curious what took you guys 6 hours on just the rear? rust? hard to access bolts? My sliders took forever because you could only get a crescent wrench in to tighten the nuts




duh, but even so, 6 hours is crazy.

6 hours because it was impossible to find spots for the jack stands because of the unibody, the jack point was barely accessible as is, then rust caused most of the issues, and not to mention the guy who owns the pilot is ridiculously anal, and after we took out every bolt he wrote down where it went, and organized it....

Installed my spoiler yesterday. Overall it went good. Very stressful drilling the holes though.

Did the interior hatch button. More pics going on my build soon.

The older, non-PS cars had reduction gears to give leverage. I have no such thing. Most old cars are 3-4 turns in either direction, our trucks are 2 turns, center to lock. It's almost impossible to turn. I feel like I'm gonna break something in the steering column or break my steering wheel off

Can you do a write up when you replace it?

 

[emelianenkov]

I guess lol. I will probably be way too cold as I'll be doing it around Christmas time if not later because I'm broke as hell

What is this? I need to know!

Makes it so you can open the rear hatch from inside the vehicle

Finally installed the Halos after being stashed in my toolbox for too many months. I zip tied them and wired them through my parking lights.





Had to add the decal to add +15 HP lol (thanks momo.75)
