What did you do with your 4runner today?

[Bluesky 07]

Thanks!

I am not sure yet to be honest. Looking all over for a 1/2bd house somewhere kirkwood, decatur or the like.

Hope everything goes well. I'm way up in northern Cherokee County, north of Canton.

Don't know if you're into FB but there's an Atlanta 4Runner group there. LMK if you want to join and I'll submit you to the Mods for approval. I'll need a PM with your email address or FB screen name.

Yea after doing some research that seems like a possibility. I'm gonna get a code reader thing later at an auto parts store and check it out. If it is the O2 sensor, is it tough to fix?

I didn't use the senor socket that was mentioned, I just used a 14mm (think) wrench. Point is, you don't "need" to buy a special socket to do it. When you get the codes, remember... ,at least on my 04, bank one is drivers side. I had bank one sensor one. That's the one right behind the drivers side wheel, and if your plastic is blown out like mine is... super easy to get to!! This is a pic of the passenger side, but its the same on the driver's side... same sensor too.

Just to clarify, bank 1 is passenger side, bank 2 drivers side.

Sensor 1 is before cat, sensor 2 is after.

Not even a year and my cabin air filter looks like this

New gas cap fixed all that for me thank god.
Cheap fix too.

I grew up around that area, you from Cherokee originally?

This guy pulled up next to me in a brand new Tacoma.



Nice truck. Nice guy. He did the Satoshi mod himself with steel mesh from the local hardware store.

Was proud that the emblem was the old yellow emblem from an FJ he told me.

Looks great.

I hope the new 4runners look similar. Would be sick to make one into something similar.

Looks like someone needs a battery tender. Nice Vette. '63 split window? That's worth more than all 3 of my cars combined.

That is true on the v6, however on the 4th gen V8 bank 1 is drivers side.

That, and I just replaced mine. op2:

 

[knomadic]

Da fuq? How does that happen?

apparently it's a fairly common issue for 3rd gens to have the crank pulley bolts come lose? been trying to get enough post comments so I can post my own thread about it and figure out how to fix it.

Dohhhh yep, you're correct! :cheers:

Popped off some plastic to replace my AC condenser and found out where my coolant has been disappearing to. [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

Rad was still filled to the top (always has been when I've checked it) and the truck has never overheated, so I'm lucky the crack is at the very top. It just drains the overflow tank.

On the plus side, the AC Condenser swap was super easy.

Could be worse, could have been losing all that coolant in the combustion chamber (ie. headgasket).

Got these in the mail today.. bigger and better stuff coming in tomorrow!


JBA ball joint upper control arms. These things seem like high quality parts.

New light bars!

This was over the past couple of days, but I got em all done. 2x12" Auxbeam light bars, everything installed under $100. They are much brighter than my headlights. I like em a lot!

 

[Brian3676]

Have been researching upper control arms for months now. After going in circles for weeks about what ones to buy I decided on Dirt King with bushing. Total Automotive has them on sale for $636 delivered and they seem to have good reviews.

Also ordered new rear pads and rotors with SS lines. Will be a fun week next week!
