TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I’ve seen your 4runner and would love to pick it up, but budget isn’t there. Hence the “project” designation...haha. Debating waiting another year or two and buying something built right already or trying to pick up a sub 2k project and slowly doing it all myself.

 

Yeah it’s $ to build from the ground up, but can also be expensive if you have to keep fixing someone else’s mistakes. Ultimate goal would be an 88 or 89 and 3.4 swap it. There is a guy locally selling a complete engine/trans/wiring/exhaust swap that he did in his 92. Wish I had a rig and money to just go for it as all the little pieces you have to acquire/fab is going to be a pain.

 

Fellas, my buddy has a 98 4runner and the low beams stopped working out of the blue. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. We know the bulbs are good. Relay seems fine. No fuses are blown. So this leads me to believe its a bad ground?

Where is the ground?

Any advice on fixing this?

Plz halp

Hoping to look at this in the very near future. Thoughts?

The initial wish list:
99 or 00
4WD
Black or green color
Miles <200k

It hits 3 out of 4 and color is the least important in my mind.

 

Installed the prolink I got for Christmas. Blue to match the kings. Gives the front end a cleaner look I think.

 

Rocked this bad dog all day.

 

I love this thing.

 

Saw this monster in Johnstown CO the other day. I think homie put a little lift on it!

 

Some awesome trucks at the meet this past weekend

 

Hey everyone, selling my 4th gen 4Runner. Would love to sell it to someone in the Toyota community. Link below.

Anybody here ever changed a front wiper fluid motor on a 4th gen 4Runner? Mine seems to have finally bit the dust but my rear still works so obviously there are separate motors. Im at work and have very limited internet access to search it. Any video site is blocked and about 90% pictures are as well.

 

Bump.

 

Shouldn’t be muc different than a second gen tacoma. I had to do it on a buddy’s tacoma once and followed a video on youtube. You should be able to do the same

 

Love the color combo Kase

 

Anybody know what the life expectancy of a 3rd gen 5spd manual clutch should be?

Looking at a runner with 230k, claiming to still be on the stock clutch...

 

Thank ya sir!

 

Clutch life’s depend on driver and use. A stock tire size and highway use clutch will last forever.

A drag raced or big tires off-road or “learning how to drive a standard” clutch won’t last long.
