TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Just put the second valve cover on..

 

That's where I am at this point. He's done most all major mechanical jobs for us and all for great prices since he has no overhead. He did my engine swap, timing belt, water pump for sub $500 almost two years ago. Having him take a look at everything else too and probably going to let him do a refresh while he has it. I know valve cover gaskets are on the list and he quoted me $80 last week.

LC 8 wraps with Tundra 5100s. I unloaded the back, took skids, tools, roof rack, and bike rack off so it's sitting 200+lbs light. But I still have a lot of rake. I like rake

 

Yeah that's cheap, I would not feel bad paying that.

Gotcha, I have a set of 7 wraps coming my way and interested to see the rake. I'll be running Tundra 5100 and eibachs up front.

Wish my engine looked like that. I have so much caked on crap.

 

I'm happy with the 8 wraps, definitely tall though and wouldn't go any taller. Have Tokiko shocks I need to swap in, the 5100s seem a little loose on turns for me but that may just be height.

 

just put together everything after a valve cover job.

4runner turns on, revs up high and then shuts off

any ideas?

 

Theres a very faint popping noise right after it turns off also

Sigh.. Yeah i know.

I have to take everything apart again.

Wont be until Friday, when im off work.

 

added some pillar gauges to my 4runner last week. haven't ran the sensors just yet.

 

Luckily you got the Camry

 

Yup!

 

I haven't filled up my Camry since the end of October. I need to park the Runner and drive the Camry more

 

That's a good point. With the snow and ice it was easier to just keep the Runner out front. Plus I hate having to move work gear from one vehicle to another. I really need a garage instead of parking one at back and one up front

 

i should drive the Tacoma.

Its been parked since October under the covers.

 

Poor Taco

 

yup. Ill take it for a spin sometime.this week

 

I don't remember if I put the throttle gasket in right, I took some pictures while I did the job for a write up and noticed the throttle body gasket was oriented to where the "D" is on the right..

Would it matter which way the throttle gasket goes?

 

4Runner love in front of my house

 

I shouldn't have sold my 4Runner....

 

What are you driving now a days?
