I rebuilt my little 3rd gen 4runner this past summer.
Model: 1996 4Runner 3RZ-FE 2.7L Base Model, Manual Transmission, 2WD
Started with P0303 CEL Code (cylinder 3 misfire). Turned out to be a cracked head. Tore engine down, had re-machined, and returned as short block. Installed new head and...
I've got an 1993 Lj78 with that a343f that needs rebuilding/replacing, torque converter also probably needs replacing/rebuilding. Prado/landcruiser a343f are incredibly hard to find here in Ireland and I would estimate a rebuild of the box would cost me €2k excluding the torque converter. With...
Hey Dudes,
I was lucky enough to partner with an expert in the industry to bring you guys a 4-Part series showing how to rebuild and modify the HF2AV transfer case. The expert I'm talking about is Georg Esterer @orangefj45 who owns Valley Hybrids in Stockton, California. Georg's Valley Hybrids...

Hi all - I was able to rebuild my from differential thanks help from the board, and now I am on to the rear so figured I would reach out for some help to make sure I am going down the right path.
Specs:
- 1997 LC
- 150K miles
- factory e-lockers
- Stock height
I have been chasing a grinding on...
Hey guys,
I'd like to wade into the waters of paying someone much more technically savvy than me to swap a 1HDT series engine into my 1PZ PZJ77. I'd also like to explore the possibilities of rebuilding the 1PZ and slapping a turbo on there. If neither of those are viable, maybe an R2.8 swap...
I am rebuilding my 1982 2F motor and I hit my crank journal with my piston connecting rod creating a small divet … ugh. Anyone have a crank with polished journals and standard size (not grounded)?
I prefer not to pay for shipping due to the weight so something local in SoCal.
I have a fj45 tray back and found some power steering off a 60 just wondering if they bolt straight on. Thanks for any help new to this rebuild game and it’s time to get this old girl on the road.
Read a few different threads about jet sizing but it seems to differ for year models. I have an early Aisan F carb that l am running on my 2F in my 71 FJ40.
I have removed the old jets and found the primary main jet 112
Secondary main jet 200
Slow jets both 50 (saw 0.85mm recommended)
Power...
I've been lurking on here and I decided to join up.
I have a 1984 that the PO tore apart and 99% kept in boxes or bags. They block, crank, and head are at a local machine shop getting verified for a rebuild or if they are boat anchors. I did find a burnt valve with the top end stuff. Four valve...
Hi All,
I have a 2003 LX470 that - like many of us - I've personalized quite a bit. Brand new 33" tires, brakes, rotors, bearings, custom bamboo tailgate cover / drawer system, lithium ion battery system, front and rear lockers, 4.30 gearing (5spd normally 4.11), completely rebuilt front and...
I am on St Simons Island w/ a '79 FJ that I have owned for 12 years. Engine just turned 100K, but due to oil leakage, I may need to look into engine work. Any references for shops in GA, SE SC or northern FL? Thanks in advance.
Hey y’all,
I’m planning on rebuilding the engine out of my 1994 80 Series. Is there anyone local to the HHI/Beaufort area with an unused engine crane and engine stand that they’d be willing to rent for a couple months? Preferably a 2-ton picker, as I am planning to pull the 1FZ-FE, A442, and...
Been looking for a troopy for quite some time and finally pulled the trigger on a site unseen. I know, dumb move but it is what it is. I bought a LHD 2004 HZJ78L 1HZ R151F (according to the vehicle factory tag) with 400,000KM (at least that is what the dash says, lol) I plan on doing a...
I was lucky enough to find a used 3B in Canada to swap out for my blown 3B (cylinder sleeves shed into the crankcase after a head gasket change) and now have the aforementioned blown 3B sitting on a pallet while I look for a shop to rebuild it as a spare.
Whee would be the best place for me...
Hi all,
Im in need of help with this rebuild, I did the cardinal sin of not taking enough photos (even though I took a lot) and don’t have the FSM.
@Pin_Head I watched your carb rebuild videos start to finish. I noticed you were reading the FSM. Would you be so kind to point me in the right...
Looking for a good core stock turbo to be sent in for a rebuild. I have two currently, one with a crack in the housing at the waste gate so that ones out, and another with a pooched bolt at the mounting plate (also quite rusty). Looking to start with something nicer, otherwise I’ll just wait to...
