TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

That means the end of next year haha. Last time I saw Roy he had just bought his wife a 4th gen and planned on having production skids out for it within the next few months. That was about 18 months ago.

 

With 4.88 gearing and the armor that you have, I would probably start higher than $14k, especially if you have time to sell it. I would post on Pirate4x4, Expo, ih8mud, and maybe even the FJC forum.

 

Well I wanted to say 15k, but got some criticism when 'i said that else where. I know its worth more then usually, especially to the write person. Shes a great rig, just doesn't get used like I wish I could anymore.

 

Did you see that 3rd gen for sale with fake red beadlocks earlier in this thread? He was asking $15k and after 2 months he actually got full asking price. If you aren't in a hurry I would list at like $16,500 even.

 

Thanks for the advice, I didn't see that but thats reassure. I'll write a nice ad and take my time with it. I can enjoy it until it goes toa good owner.

 

initially he said theyd be released early february

 

Trying to do all the little things that were needed to my '97 T4R.

Today:
New struts for hatch
Viper alarm w/ remote start
LED dome/map lights
Wiper blades

Still have a clock coming from eBay, it is completely missing.
Weather tech bundle should arrive tomorrow
Wet Okoles ordered

-Need to drop the head liner and see why the cover/shield for the moon roof doesn't slide easily.

-Need figure out how to adjust the moon roof. It opens and vents properly, but the close position is actually down about an inch. Its an ACS aftermarket one.

-The rear air blows hot air all the time. Even when the front AC has been blowing ice cold for a while. Not sure how the rear air is configured, were does it draw from?

-Cruise control, need to figure out how to add it. I think I just need the switch, the actuator, and the CC ECU. Am I missing something else?

Any help or suggestions would be awesome.

Today was a good day, even though it was 114º outside, the garage was only 105º.

 

Don't replace the starter, rebuild it. Super easy and stupidly cheap, like ~$10. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but if it does.

 

If you get the brushes yourself, it takes 10 mins to rebuild yourself. Hopefully it's just the alternator.

 

Alt charge cable? Had same issue with the wife's car. Replaced the battery, fuse, alt but it was the alternators charge cable.

 

So Rob got that hood for me. Pretty stoked about it. Hoping the black hood won't look weird for awhile until I can either get it painted or wrapped.

 

Just plastidip it right away and it will look wrapped until you can get it done. Plastidip isn't bad for a little while.

 

anyone know the UCA long bolt nut size and thread? I need to jam nut my UCA nut. It keeps randomly backing off. Just fixed my clunk by tightening the nut again. Was able to turn it by my finger tips.

 

Red Loctite didn't keep it on?

 

Anyone have any good threads on rebuilding CVs?

 

Inner or outer boots?

 

Both as well haha

 

Yeeeeeeah. Bumper is basically done. Minor updates and prints happening now. Will get steel on order tomorrow. Should be ready to build a couple prototypes in a few weeks.

 

I hate to break it to you, but the driver side of the bumper is missing...

 

Did it on purpose. Saves weight, keeps you narrow too. Ha!
