I Take it one repair at a time, and dont let my wife know about how much is really broken.

 

My power antenna is broken. I just replaced my power steering pump and it was leaking.. so I took it out and replaced some seals and it still leaks a little bit. (I think I got a bad remanufactured pump).

Back windows take a long time to roll down.

Very back window sometimes doesn't work.

1 broken CV axle

Valve click (valves need to be adjusted)(I don't have the money. It's like $600)

Front tires are bad.

 

I want one of those stickers that says ll'Buffout
lol.

 

driveshaft talks to me
Oil pressure drops low at idle
pops out of reverse and scares the crap out of me
not broken, but my braklines need to be extended badly

But i'll keep fixing it until I break something else.

 

Well, I fixed the oil leak .. Now, I went to put on a new exhaust gasket and one of the studs broke off on the bottom part of the manifold . So.......
1.Exhaust leak
2.Dented tail gate
3.Needs a tail light Relay .

 

Timing chain, timing chain cover, distributor cap, coil wire, dash pot, tps, ac, wiper blades. I love my little 92. Oh, by the way, the oil gets thrown out of the rear wheel because of centripetal force (m*v*v/r) centrifugal force is an imaginary force.

 

My passenger rear axle seal is leaking, I wish i could get rid of the the spacer lift up front and replace it with a coil-over, some of my valve stems leak.

 

cracked brake line leaking heavy fluid
bad clutch
transmission has trouble going into 4th gear without double clutching
missing one wiper
exhaust is cracked in multiple areas
front differential slips
hubs are rusted into the locked position
starter is starting to go out
cd player is kinda sketchy

but the engine runs good

 

Hmm lets see...

My good truck:
Engine runs weird I believe the timing is off, gets gutless and sputters somewhere between 2000-3000rpm (depends on the gear) and it's not charging properly (if at all)

New DD:
Engine will randomly lose power sporadically turning the CEL on but never for long. Not to worried about it since it'll become a parts truck in a few months anyway.

 

My 82 has nothing wrong, except I do have to adjust the E-brake.

 

Toyota said that they can't supply a switch, no stock in country.

Fortunately, one of our lovely junkyard vendors hooked me up, for free (added to an order I had just placed).

I compared the switches, the old (broken) one is boned, the switch pin doesn't come all the way out. Either some serious cruft got inside there or something broke.

Anyway, it's fixed, my light works now. I recently replaced the oil pressure sending unit, so now my oil gauge works, and I got the 4Runner back from the transmission shop today.

After I get this wiring love done, I'll have to look for something more to fix.

 

umm some surface rust that needs to be fixed soon on the front fender. and thats it lol

 

Fixed:

-Clutch start switch (PO jumped the wiring so it could start with the clutch out)
-leaking valve cover fixed
- e-brake fixed (new rear section to go with the 1yr old front section)


To fix:

- TPS wire needs to be fixed
- Rust
- Dents
- weld in new rear crossmember
- Fix A/C
- rear u-joints getting a little old
- Reinforce marlin front bumper for winching
- flush heater core
- replace sagging door hinges
- replace drivers side door seals for door and window (VERRR tight!!!)

Yay, I just need some money and motivation!

 

Turbo is broken so it burns oil.....A lot......
Interior needs a major deucheing. Hood looks pinker than the red of the truck.
Needs a tranny flush.
