    Radiator/Transmission Question

    Picked up another 4Runner...this one in a 2001 with only 150K miles on it. Pretty bone stock so I have gone through and replaced ball joints control arms and a few other things to get it ready for a 2" lift (seems all bilstien kits are on backorder). Anyway, I wanted to also put a new radiator...

    60 owner with a 4runner question

    Not sure if any of you have posted outside of the 60 section, but way less activity with the 4th gen 4Runner guys. Not sure why...maybe less problems. I thought I would throw my question in here for some feedback. Puchased an 03 4Runner and it was well maintained, timing belt recently changed...

    Transmission fluid out of my dipstick?

    Bought an 03 recently. It has been well taken care of and just needed a starter, timing belt recently changed, fluids kept up, etc...Came with good records. I had driven it maybe 500 miles and suddenly notice transmission fluid dripping from the dipstick. Went to pull the dipstick and it was...

    Engine bay platform

    So I want to mount some onboard air in my engine bay. I plan to remove the carb cooling fan and use the 4 unused bolts in the pic. Couple questions: 1. To remove the fan there is one bolt under the mechanism that helps the hood raise up. Any tips on removal...seems like I would be unbolting...

    2005 P0465 gas cap code

    So I am usually in the 60 forum, but picked up a really nice 2005 with only 61K miles on it. Anyway, got a P0456 code that sets off all kinds of light and ends up showing likely gas cap. I ordered a new one but before it came I found a youtube of a guy with the same problem that was not solved...

    2F Valve Cover gasket replacement

    so I did a search and picked up some comments here and there from larger threads but there was not specific post on this. Probably because its it so darn easy, but still want to cover my bases before I do this as I am chasing a leak and I am almost positive it is at the back of my valve cover. I...

    Oil Pan torque specs

    So I have a leak and it looks like the pan. I thought I would go under and tighten up the oil pan bolts. I downloaded a sheet at one time on here that has a ton of torque specs but not one for the pan. Not sure if there is one....does anyone know?

    So I have not changed diff fluid this on my truck since I got it, but since I got stuck this morning and my backend was underwater for over an hour while I waited for my son to come winch me out I figured maybe it was time. I did a search and there are no threads on it. A few questions: 1. any...

Well today I pulled the stick to check my oil level and the tube pulled out with the stick. Not entirely sure what I am looing at and where to start with a fix. It...

    Sagging Headliner

    Love my truck and enjoy working on it to a point. What I really like is driving it and taking it hunting. When I bought that truck 4+ years ago it had a fresh headliner installed and it looked pretty good. This first pic shows and it looked that good all the way to the rear until a couple months...

    1983 FJ60 Starter question

    I was grabbing gas this weekend and hoped in the truck and turned the key and nothing. I checked the lights and had power. Hoped out and tapped the starter with a hammer and it started fine....Does this mean is it going out and I should change it as it will just get worse, or a fluke and I...

    1983 Steering Column Clamshell

    I tore mine to pieces working on the steering column. Took it on and off one too many times and I am sure the screws that were holding it together were not the right ones. Anyway, I remember seeing someone was making an aftermarket one....I used the search and had no luck. Anyone know who and if...

    So I have an upgraded battery and have upgraded all my battery and starter cables to heavy duty. Did seem to help but my starter can be slow, especially if the AC is left on....I was exploring Vintagteqparts website and came across what looks like an upgrade to the OEM starter and was wondering...

    Carhartt Precision Fit Custom Seat Covers

    So for Christmas I ordered seat covers for my back seat. They finally arrived today. I saw someone post a pic of the front ones and they looked great. To buy the whole set is almost $800 so I had to choose and I always hated how my back cover fit as it was one of those one size fits all and was...
