TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I don't regret buying my taco, and I love the MGM color but man does it scratch easy and the color doesn't hider anything. Scratches, dust, mud, dirt. If I ever buy another one I'm going white, I can drive my runner through the bushes and it's like brand used!

 

Looks like I can join the club. Was able to get some help and tow my new purchase/project. It's a 1996 3.4 5spd with a sunroof and e-locker. Needs a little bit of work and is a bit rough but should make a good DD while I cut up my Tacoma.

 

Nice! Let me know when you need parts.

 

Hell yeah!

 

i should probably drain and fill my diffs...meh

 

mine smelled super hot up front after last weekends run. Need to change it out.

 

Hey you’re not banned anymore

 

i liked it better the other way

 

Give him a week it’ll happen again

 

could be, just smelled warm

 

Interesting. How are your Ballistic joints so far? Did you disassemble them before install? Do they take grease freely? I am already over them; they squeak like a bastard, don't take grease, the threads are all fucked up, spanner wrenches broke . . . The 2.63" are better than the 2.0s, but I still can't grease them on the truck b/c I had to flip the zerk to the top or it would get ripped off with a quickness. So, have to pull the bolt, drop the front of the link, install the zerk, grease, reassemble.

 

Damn that’s brutal. I have the big motherfuckers and they take grease with ease. Never heard them squeak. They do loosen over time, but I made my own spanner so I can tighten without taking the bolt out

 

I think they just need some grease to ease the squeak, but . . . Do you have the zerk facing down?

 

The uppers with 2.0s for sure need to be removed to tighten, don't think I could get the spanner on the 2.63 on the truck either.

 

They’re in my spindles and they’re probably 45 degrees down from horizontal

 

i just got a parking violation on the runner at my complex. Keys are in it, come get it

 

my friend is even modeling it for you



Beauty shot

 

because no parking pass visible.

I only have 30 days left until its parked in my driveway. they can eat a dick

 

@LTDSC what is your selling price? Always wondered since you have a ton of work into it. Over 15k?
