Got motor mounts built and the new engine installed in its final location. Not as much progress this week as I had hoped but it has turned out better than I expected so far.
What have you been doing with your Toyota?

I hear ya. It’s on Jack stands on the frame. The two stacked blocks are secondary backup and the bottle jack is triple backup. I don’t like the idea of being squished by my fat LX. And I distrust Jack stands.

Almost done with the hours for MT license. Just a few more night hours left. He drove 3D and Crystal Geyser in Moab while I navigated. Good times.

Just installed the new Gamiviti 80 series dash mount. This thing went in super easily, and that’s coming from someone that can make any project take double time.
No drilling required. I did have to shift my top row switches over one hole to the right. Gamiviti mount includes a new switch hole so not a big deal.
It’s very solid, no doubt will easily handle iPad mini or even a larger tablet, true test in Moab coming soon. Feels a lot sturdier than the ‘useless cubby’ ram mount thingy.

I’m sure some will think it’s dumb to do custom paint on a skid since it’s just gonna get scratched off but it cured my boredom for a day or so and I love the old Toyota colors
Pit stop in pony.

That looks like we have our first entry for the Winter of 2025-'26 poser picture contest.
Have a great trip.
Couple pics from last weekends trip to flat head
It’s been a while since I’ve been on the message boards. Kids and a new job have taken up most of my time lately. But a few months ago after noticing another head gasket leak on the 4runner I found a lower mileage motor in good shape and swapped out my old one. Had an issue I’ve never seen before during the swap. The motor sat without a radiator still in the truck do about a year and at some point a critter stashed some almonds in the cooling system. After having a cooling issue the first time I started it I found these behind the thermostat. There also may be a new Toyota being added to the fleet soon and the 4runner might be up for sale soon.

Sweet! Welcome to the JDM club! What model is it?
93 fjz80 VX limited. Gas motor but has right around 135000 miles on it. Is it pretty easy to get comfortable with right hand drive?
Im stoked its a family friend and was not expecting it to be in my price range but they want it to go to a good home!!
