TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Mine seems to want to cruise at 70-75. That seems to be the sweet spot for highway cruising.

 

I like to cruise. It's when I've gotta drop gears to simply stay at 70, otherwise it'll drop to 60 no problem with me just cruising. I was getting ready to regear, then thought a 4th gen would just be the best way to go.

 

Yeah you won’t “need” gears with the V8 but I considered it for hills. Never had an issue keeping speed like my 3rd gen on 34’s and the v8 really goes when you step on it.

 

maybe i just have more expectation but the v8 is powerful but definitely not quick by any means.

 

You know what would be quick, your new 2006 GMC CCSB on a LT kit with a small bed cage and a low pro bed rack for tent

 

my account is waiting

 

Well considering I've driven a 22re, 3.0, 2 3.4's and a 4.7 over the years, I'm not the best judge for quickness...

I also had the VVTI, which does add about 35hp and torque and not weighted down as much as your pig. Compared to some of the American V8's, the 4.7 is underpowered.

 

tents only 100 lbs lol its barely weighted down compared to some

 

600 miles this weekend, 20.9 mpg. Stoked on that one

 

I don't need quick, it's an suv so I don't expect it to be quick. But I would like more power to be able to cruise hauling or weighted down.

 

My fenders are cut high enough that the tube from the air box to the snorkel can be seen.

 

I might try to heat it up and bend it. Really need my welder back though before I cut more sheet metal to make room for this 3” PVC pipe hahaha

 

Hanging below the cut. Supposedly you can fill PVC with sand, heat it up, and bend it

 

this weekend while the air box was out i was thinking of ways to cut off the fender outlet since its exposed but my airbox didnt have that much stuff in it.

 

Hey all, Im gong to heck out a 3rd gen. What do you guys think of the deal?

99 138k on it. asking 6k. 5 speed manual, 3.4, sunroof, leather, and awaiting to see if it has the rear locker.

 

Trying to figure out a price for my 3rd gen when I sell it but really have no clue. Let me know your guys thoughts.

99 192K
4wd, Highlander
Tundra wheels/34" BFG KO2's (80%)
Tundra brakes
New LBJ's, cv boots, diff fluids, valve cover gaskets, tune up, rear axle seals
5100/eibach up front and 5100/LC in the back
CBI Plate rear
3/16" front skid
Overall a clean truck for it's age.
Salvage title: hit front and rear, all damage fixed besides small 2" ding on hood.

Was thinking 4K due to Bay Area pricing and it is pretty much good to go at this point.

 

Sounds like a damn good deal to me.

I’d figure that you could get that. Think that’d be pretty reasonable if it was local

 

@SixthSnail We miss you <3
