    Only Mod is the box liner on the rockers and up the doors all other work has just been repairs, looking forward to future build.
    could just need oil i know my ac did that and i brought it in thinking the compressor needed to be fixed but they added a can of ac oil/refrigerant and it worked great after. also way cheaper. try that route first.

    been home working on the 4runner. finally got some time to pull the radiator out
    tried solder welding some leak holes.

    didn't end up that well I guess we got one of the cores too hot and opened up a
    bigger hole in it. so just had to order a new one for 95 bucks

    yea definitely going to get that one I saw you put on.
    just going to have to wait a little while first.

    not a big fan of the plastic radiators, I really liked the brass one
    it had on it but it was holding on by a thread already.

    yea I saw those but they are around 250 to 300 bucks.
    I'm on a very tight budget right now so going to have to suck it up
    with the plastic one.

    hopefully salter on ill go back to get a brass one again. just hoping I
    don't run into any problems with the plastic one on the 3.0 liter.
    heard of a lot of problems with overheating on this engine
