hi all,
I'll be taking a trip over to nor cal in july, and I'm figuring out which downhill parks would be the best over there. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
build one!
i built a mini pop-can stove for when i would go out in the black hills over the summer.
Zen Alcohol Stoves - Basic TopBurner Alcohol Stove
works on alchohol too!
I have been surrendering to staying indoors because my '87 has no A/C or fan of any sort. recently it was working perfectly, but now, when flipping the switch, all i hear is the relay clicking, and no fan blowing. temperature controls all work, but the fan doesn't. help!
i have a 1987 4Runner which i am considering to sell.
it has 196K miles
top-end rebuild at 193K, which included the timing chain and water pump.
new 31" BFGs, 10k miles on them at most.
helper springs in the back to fix sag.
new radiator and alternator, and as of recently, a new starter...
a friend gave me his turbo from his new '87 pickup.
it's a CT20, and I was told I could put it onto my truck, with no issues.
i would be very excited to put a turbo onto my truck, but I'm not sure if i should. anyone?
i'm looking for a transmission for my '87 4Runner. Any condition, as long as it shifts fine, no shot syncros or anything.
i'm also willing to trade both a 22R engine, and an older RWD transmission for a transmission that fits my truck. I should be able to post pics some time, but I will...
I have a 1981 22R.
the 3rd cylinder is rusted, so it definitely needs a rebuild.
I'm asking $150. I paid $200, and spent the same in gas to go and get it.
I have a 4 speed tranny.
I wasn't told what kind it was.
Paid $100, asking $75.
Willing to sell both for $200.
Any more questions...
since the plows are a little slow around here to actually plowing and salting the roads, i suffered a little fender-bender from last night. I ended up hitting a guardrail, but only on one side. hopefully the pictures can show the damage.
what are my options of fixing this?
or really, make...
i recently acquired my regular 4Runner back to me...after six months of downtime.
anywho, i was fiddling with the hot/cold switch on the HVAC, and something snapped, and now it is stuck in the mostly cold/slightly warm area. i've had this problem with an '88 celica, but the heat controls were...
it was definitely coolant. my stepfather figured this out, and the truck recently stopped running. turns out the local mechanics have found the problem: a bad water pump. they also told me that the oil cap incident was just a crappy coincidence.
ok, new problem:
after cleaning the enigne bay at a self-service car wash, the truck now has small puddles of green fluid, everywhere. i think it may be soap residue from when i washed the engine bay. i've been told otherwise that it's antifreeze. help is needed here!
i added roughly 1.5-2.5 quarts. i also noted that, when driving, the engine vibrated a little bit. a little bit more than usual sewing machine operation. probably from the valve cover taking in air?
i recently added oil to to one of the trucks in my sig, an '86 PU. well, i also had to drive some 300+ miles that day, and i had forgotten to replace the oil filler cap, which is placed on top of the head. four hours later, i discover that i'm an ignorant bastard for forgetting to replace the...
by mowing over a non-existent stump of a bush, i have bent the crankshaft of my push mower. I know my options here, and none of them are good. I can have the crankshaft 'professionally' straightened, or I can go the backwoods route, and whack with a mallet of some sort. Thirdly(?), get the now...
i have recently purchased an '81 22R from a guy, to put into my '87 4Runner. the engine has approx. 140k, and no real issues. of course, the 22R is carbed, and the now not working 22RE is going to be replacing it. i understand a new timing chain wouldn't be compatible, along with a lot of other...
