TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I wish I could afford to get their bumper! That will cost a pretty penny.

 

right now im drooling over that CBI rear swingout.

Im waiting to see what savage's new rear swingout will look like..

 

That's the rear bumper I want. I've heard rumor of the new savage rear bumper. Any word when it is coming out?

 

last time I spoke to him he said this month.

 

final coat on my sliders:



primed savage bumper:



installed hood struts:



installed switches and rain wiring for the switch accesories:

 

Looking good! Starting to all come together.

 

Picked up the Runner from the mechanic. Ran so much better, night and day differance.

 

so what exactly was it doing?

looking to get timing belt amd water pump done soon on mine

 

I was throwing a P0304(miss fire cylinder 4) CEL. It had a pretty rough idle and power loss. Idles smooth now and the power is back, ran up and down the mountains here pretty good.

 

did the mechanic tell you what was wrong with it? what caused this and what was the fix?

 

Oops sorry forgot to get into that. I did a full tune up on it(new plugs, wires, cleaned MAF and TB) and the P0304 was still there. I swapped the coil packs and it stayed in Cylinder 4. After research I figured it was the fuel injector, but my mechanic did a compression check to rule that out and it came back good. So he put a new fuel injector in and she is running good.

The timing belt/water pump on mine was done earlier this year on mine before I bought it. Glad I don't have to get that replaced for a little bit.

 

good think you got her fixed.

I have a timing belt and water pump sitting in my bedroom. Need to find someone to throw that in.

Also a transmission flush and filter replacement.

I see you have a camry. How does that treat you?

I have a 2003 camry that i DD

 

How many miles do you have on your 4Runner? Trans flush and filter will probably help it out a little bit.

It treats me good, I love that little thing. It kind of sucks up here in the mountains power wise, but I have almost 170K miles on it and drive it everywhere. Been getting 30+ mpg on the highway so can't complain.

 

The runner has 180k

My camry has 290k

Love the miles per gallon on the camry.

 

I have some catching up to do with my Camry! Do you have the 4Banger Camry or the V6? My friend has a 4Banger 2002 with over 200K miles and he takes that thing everywhere.

 

I have the four banger.

I drove that thing accross the country last year. Not a single problem.

 

They are awesome cars, I am debating selling mine though. It is pretty gutless up here in the mountains and kind of annoying to drive, but we will see where I stand next summer.

 

ditch lights over the weekend:

 

alternator upgrade:
