TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Idk yet what I'm getting yet.......

 

You can buy my old 4runner...http://fresno.craigslist.org/cto/5886576953.html

 

Pretty good shape still!

 

Yeah, he only had it for a year and did some nice additions like the hood and relentless bumper. Not a fan of the Methods or giant lights up front, but that's just my personal style.

 

some would say...improved

 

Sweet "TRD Edition"

 

Is your 4runner the banner pic for this thread??

 

yes

 

Yeah bob knows who's best around here!

 

Ew

 

So I took the 4runner out on a drive today around the block and noticed it smelled like it was burning oil in the exhaust and ran really rough at first (died multiple times and idled rough/low). After I got back home I checked it out and there was oil dropping on the headers and all down the back of the engine and steering rack.

Could a valve cover leak do that? There is a ton of residue right by the rear valve cover bolt and you can see where it dripped right onto the header. Couldn't see anything coming out consistently when I turned it back on and looked with a flashlight.

Here is a pick looking from under the truck up at the driver side engine.

 

Looks like valve covers to me.

 

Last pic of what's no longer my baby...

It was actually kinda sad driving off without it. Crazy. Relationships with vehicles are real!!


Onto something...I don't know what's next.

 

The idling sounds like TPS. Oil leak probably the valve cover gasket. You may just try to tighten the bolts. Could be that simple...

 

i want a raptor so damn bad. i would push mine down a river for one.

 

Dislike.

 

if they werent 49k, id already own one.

4runner is cool and all but its small and im a giraffe

 

I still want your 4th gen. Still my favorite 4th gen, especially with your rear shocks now.

theres absolutely nothing wrong with my 4runner and i do love it. But im just too big for it lol

 

We'll just have to see where I am when it comes up for sale
