TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

That looks sharp...perfect fit!

I'm stumped then...especially since you are now at a higher elevation which as you know, equals less air. Do you have any gauges? Just wondering if you're AF ratios has charged and also to see if you are actually making more boost or not?

Are you over on T4R? There's a huge thread just for SC...that would be a great place to ask this question. Sorry I'm not much more help. Good luck...

 

It's all good looks sweet man! Lights are fun. It's also great knowing you have a place for switches down the line.

In other news this weekend I ended up wheeling for about 19 hours/ 170 miles in the Tundra. Did some cool stuff including a steep rock crawling hill that no one thought I'd be able to do. If anyone's interested in seeing let me know. I'm guessing @SCRunner12 wants to see the Tundra beat a jeep and a few other things up that hill

 

I am on T4R but I dont even have 1 post. I think the noise is from the gears so I am going to check the fluid level. I put in 4oz, but i read some added more. I never got a clear idea if the case filled like a differential in that you fill it till it seeps out or just add 4oz.

 

Any of you guys have spare switch blanks ideally in grey? My switch panel is all done and looks sweet. Cannot believe it all works honestly haha.

 

@4Running Daily ...are you going to hook me up with a video input switch. I'll be happy to pay for all the parts and throw you some extra $. I completely suck at wiring! Let me know Boss?!?

If not, just let me know...no worries. Thanks!

 

Ya I can probably do that for you!

 

Would 2nd gen switch blanks work? I got a couple around somewhere. They're black, but you could paint them. Something is better than nothing. Let me know

 

You'd be my Hero!

 

@Russtoy Fluid Film is a rust inhibitor. I did a lot of research when I bought my 3rd Gen on how to preserve the frame. As you know the frames rot out on these in Ohio. Fluid film is used as an undercoat a lot in the North East and Canada. It's not permanent, it eventually washes off. It collects some dust, but once again it will wash off. It has good "creeping" qualities. If you spray it inside the frame it will find its way into hard to get to crevasses. It also makes a great around the house lubricant...door hinges, locks, ect. It stays put a lot longer than WD40. I soaked the whole underneath of mine late Fall and it held up fairly well all Winter.

This is where I bought a kit with a spray gun:

You can buy areosol cans at Autozone, I think Lowes carries it to.

 

Thank you sir...I'll check this out. I currently have a rust free frame and body...I too want to keep it that way.

 

Hey I have one...

What size tires do you run and have you regeared?

In other news... Christmas came early today!!!

 

@06HAOLE has one too

I'd think you're fine but I am by no means an expert. Just my 2 cents

 

I don't know a lot about the mountains towing, but with stock tires, you're good to tow up to 5000 for long distances. I've towed over that for short distances. With the mountains I'd try to stay lower than 5000 though. The numbers you threw out seemed fine to tow.

 

So after looking at several videos on the YouTube I think I have diagnosed my problem as non existent

The only thing that seems odd is how much faster your tach climbs compared to mine...sounds fantastic.

 

Your problem is the supercharger. Take it off, send it to me, and you'll be good

 

Amazing acceleration for 7600ft. Not a sports car but better than it was...

Hey man, I have like $750 in that setup... Lol
