TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Made it at work...






twenty dollas.

 

I want to see your 4Runner when you get those tires on too

In other news, payment sent on my skids. Can't wait to get them painted and put on

 

This one.

 

I have never seen your 4runner, always thought it was white like your 4th gen. haha

 

Haha, I miss my white runner. Love the green too.

Thanks man! BTW the price of a toyota nose cone is now close to $800! https://trdparts4u.toyotaofdallas.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=-8881

I am going to order parts from rolling performance. I will pay a little extra, but I guess it is worth it.

 

Did you replace the rotor bearings(6203)? those rotor pack seals are a PITA to find. It also doesn't look like many people replace those bearings. Just curious. jon bond wants $80 for both, seems crazy to me.

I am at $110 before those bearings and seals... lol

Everything else is great! thank you for putting that together, make a lot of sense now!

 

Holy shit, I have three of those sitting in my garage I was going to rebuild and sell. Might be looking at a good profit...haha

I did the first time, but it didn't go well. They are so precise and tough to deal with I didn't for the last two rebuilds I did. Typically those bearings aren't as bad as the nose cone and you should be fine. I bought my kits from spinning wheels, but it looks like they are out of stock. http://spinningwheels-sc.com/eatonseriessuperchargerpartscombo.aspx

What is costing you so much?

 

Saw it too late. Ehhh

 

You totally need to do it! There are a lot of lazy people out there. I have seen a few sites that will rebuild cones if you send them for $260

$19 for nose bearings(Amazon)
$25 for pregreased needle bearings(rolling performance)
$29.95 for sc coupler(RP)
$12.95 for the viton nose seal(RP)
$8.95 4oz gm sc fluid(RP)
$4.95 gasket maker(RP)
$8.95 for shipping

IF I wanted to fo the rotor bearings/seals that would be another $100, 80 of which are those stupid rotor pac seals. I am getting a new seal and coupler, not just the bearings, that is the price difference.

I emailed the guy at RP to see if they have the stuff in stock, i can't tell if they are still in business! lol

I guess for now I will leave those bearings out of it. When I take it apart, unless there is a glaring problem I see no need to replace them then. The way I look at it with a motor that has 120k(the engine the sc is coming off) the maintenance was just done, or really needs to be done, but that mileage shouldn't have ruined anything.

 

dont the tacoma LBJs reduce turning radiuson the 4runners?

i barely see that sticker

 

That is a nice one. I am getting a white one with my supercharger

 

why do people delete the pics ?
ugh.

It looks super cool, I've never seen one in person. I kind of want contact the seller just to ask if I can come check it out. Looks pretty clean from the photos
