Holy cow! Thats a good, yet somewhat comical, response I wasn’t expecting! Lol So, the issue people have with these things is the motor going bad? I wasn’t sure what the problem was. Now I know. I’ll need to research this bleeding process you speak of. I presume the old fashioned “wife...

Can you elaborate on this please? How did you rebuild it? What is being rebuilt? Is there a tutorial anywhere? Mine seems to be working fine but I’ve got 230k miles and I’m sure it will happen eventually. I don’t love the idea of dropping $1k on a new part but if rebuilding is an option, I’d...

Sweet! Cannot wait to hear your results! Long live the FJ!

Finally! After months of work and more money than I care to discuss, it’s back on the road. I’m really loving the color and wheels. It drives like a new car and didn’t cost me anywhere near the cost of a new 4runner. If I can get 5 years out of it and 70k miles, I will be very happy.

Dang! How do we know you ain’t pulling some Ferris Bueller move and got this thing up on blocks with the engine running 24/7?? lol

I’ll give you a thousand dollars! Today! Cash! Just kidding. The FJ looks really sharp! I’ve never considered selling mine so not too in tune with market. But if I was guessing, I’d say high teens to low 20s? Market isn’t what it used to be. But, I may be completely wrong too! Either way, I...

@boomsling welcome to the “club”!

Wondering what the market is for the GX470 now. Is a stock version more desirable than a modified version? I’ve got a 2008, white and Gray interior. Sits in my garage most of the time. We use it for road trips mainly. Or going to church when my son’s friends go with us. I had it “built” at...

I wish I could give good advice on this but I don’t really know. I paid 4500 for a 2wd 2004 with 230k and no issues except paint and timing belt due. Zero rust anywhere. I personally would be scared of yours with the rust. I can fix rust, but man oh man is it a lot of work! Way more work...

My 2004 had 230k on it when I bought it in the fall last year. One owner but 2wd. Decent shape. Paint fried but zero rust or body damage. No questionable maintenance/mods done in the past. I paid $4500. Not sure if that helps on perspective. But you do list a lot of things that would scare...

Interested in what you find. Today I noticed my infotainment screen flicker and it also restarted twice on my drive. No idea if it’s related to what your issue is. But still curious. Hopefully someone chimes in.

That looks great!

Today I received my new tail lights from TEQ Customs. These look amazing (imho). They really update the look of the rear. 10/10!

Another new part number to report. This is the rear window felt. Part Number is 68290-35031

I finally got to install the 4rcustoms rear garnish panel. It lights up with tail and brake lights. The quality of the part is really good. Surprisingly good. I was not sure I’d like the LED lights but so far it’s pretty cool.
