TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I'll be doing timing belt/water pump in 20k...not looking forward to it

 

It's pretty cool. I'm pretty damn happy with this 4Runner in nearly all aspects. I'm getting a new clutch next week and then I'll be even happier with it.

I had a clogged injector at one point.

 

That one isnt too bad, I have done it twice,! My old Tacoma and my current 4runner.

Tips:
-Power tool for crankshaft bolt
-remove radiator
-get those wrenches with the ratchets. That saves you so much time. 14mm and 10mm

-get the stant thermostat
-Napa has an "Asian" coolant that is red called "Zerex"

 

Power tools and ratchet wrenches make everything better

 

I have a manual so I used a breaker bar. Stupid idea. The driveline stores the energy and whips it back... lol

 

Ooo gotta be careful. Another reason I like power tools. There's far more pros than cons

 

Made in Mexico, no thanks

 

i could give a shit less where it came from. new it still has a warranty and if it fails ill use that warranty. My yellow top is doing quite fine for a year in mine.

 

Tacomas are made in mexico

Odyssey FTMFW

 

It must be the 3rd gens that are made in Mexico in addition to Texas than. I might rather have a Mexico truck. Just glad the 4runner is out of Japan

 

Thanks for the tips!

 

Not that anyone cares...listening to rebelution and it happens to be pg. 420 on the thread


I'm so immature

 

I need to go see if I have any other misfire codes before I do anything else. Hoping I don't have any and not thinking I do.

I had a local Mastertech who does work on his own do mine when I did my engine swap. Can give you his number if you want. He did my swap, timing belt, water pump, ect. For $500 in labor plus a weekend.

My uncles 2011 was made in Mexico. He's had a pretty big turn off towards it once he found out.

Ever see them at the Norva? They were just here about a month ago

Superbumps just delivered. Ill throw those on while i remove my coilovers.

 

Quality isn't what it use to be. Gone downhill since they moved. Not worth dealing with. Might as well buy a good battery to start.

I don't have one of those either.

 

some people have to make a stand on something. I dont get it, but not my problem. My battery has had zero issue.

 

Damn yeah I'll take his number please. Think he'd give me a deal?

Yeah I saw them at the Norva a while ago actually. They put on a good show.

 

I will do yours in exchange for your supercharger

 

Yeah, he's a super cool guy that has his own at home garage and everything. I'll shoot you it via PM when I get home from the gym.

Put me down for this deal too, plus I'm closer
