Anna Marie, ...a cutie, a Wheelin gal, a Marine Girl???? The guy with Lil Red is a lucky one indeed! lol.

No disrespect, ..just sayin! lol.

 

EVERYTHING on my truck is broken. if it isnt, it will be in about a week. just my luck.

 

Two weekends ago went wheeling. Broke something in tranny no reverse. This happened on Saturday. The next day on my way to carwash to clean so I could pull tranny I slung a rod. It was a bad weekend. Now searching for another engine. I've got another tranny already.

 

No Worries, I aint gonna bitch about a compliment! Thanks! I hope he realizes it, lol.

 

Needs Fixing:
Some days my E-brake works, some days it doesn't.
Leaking Coolant
Smashed Left Fender (Need front plate bumper!!)
Rubbing Tires (Need a lift!)

Already fixed:
Custom Tail Light Wiring (not by choice)
Burnt out Clutch.
Replaced Starter.

 

Currently Broken...outer rear axle seal (drivers side) leaking, no cruise control (think its my taillights causing it), starter is beginning to fail, powersteering pump is on its last leg, front differential leaks on passenger side, wicked vibration(believed to be ujoints), ARB does not engage due to leaky air hose(not sure if its in the diff or just the hose), passenger fender smashed to hell, carpets ruined to due partial swamping, winch needs fixing as housing is broke, HIDs don't have hi-beams (wiring issue, not my strong point)

Broke last summer and fixed-
passenger side cv axle (twice), lower ball joint after separating from the spindle, re-manned transmission and used transfer case after a case of exploding planetary inside the transfer, the winch gears ate themselves....

I think thats everything...

 

My engine leaks oil. I've had the head gasket seal, cam seal, and oil pan seal replaced by toyota certified mechanics who assured me $1500 later that this would fix the problem.

Still the leak persists, but it doesn't seem to affect the performance. Does anyone else have this problem? Any advice would be awesome!

 

BTW, it's a '95 4Runner

 

They charged you 1500$ for those fixes? .....and it still leaks? ..... I would be back there in a heartbeat! BTW, CAM SEAL? You mean Rocker Cover Gasket? Just curious.....And; What motor?

 

Well I've already posted on here...but I'm gonna re post bc I have to add more lol....i have replaced......

fuel tank, pump and filter (filter got changed 5 times bc of dirty tank)
main relay
TPS
MAF meter
header broke in half so it's got ALL new exhaust, header, 2.5" pipe, cherry bomb pro
windshield washer fluid pump
all new vaccum hoses
alternator (3 times)...they're a pain in the ass in case you've never done one
front main seal
fan clutch
heater hoses
shocks....but then replaced again when i put my lift on
brake light relay


WHAT I NEED TO DO NOW

I'm 90% sure i have a blown head gasket
I'll need a new radiator soon
and my windshield has a big ass crack..so that too lol
other than that...after i get those done i MIGHT be done fixin things on it

 

Well, it's semi-not mine anymore (long story), but a 2WD 22R '86 won't charge its battery, even after a new battery and alt.

 

Sorry, I forgot to mention in there that they also replaced my speedo head. But yeah, I'm pissed that it didn't fix the problem.

I'm not sure about the Rocker Cover Gasket, he told me it was the cam seal. I'm going back there next week to talk to him about it. It's coming from somewhere near the top of my engine.

The engine is a 3.0L EFI V6

 

The only thing I have ever had to do to my truck is put brakes on it twice in the 9 years that I have owned it. My 4-Runner that I had before that I never did a thing to but beat on it. The transfer case on my Tacoma now has a crack in it which gives me the excuse to buy a new Gen 5 Runner! I can't wait to get the thing...

 

My 4.7 gear set input shaft is broken the new one came today but trail gear forgot to send me the bearing and c-clip

 

Front Trans Seal, .....I think.... and probably 3 others, including at least 2 on the T-case...

Hmmmmm, OH, a piece of my block broke off in the timing cover face when removing the cover(The builder put a replacement bolt where the alternator one goes through the t.cover...top right, ...and he must have bottomed it out, w/out the alternator bracket on there.... and it cracked off about an inch diameter and 1/4" deep hole of the block)...... Got replacement block today, ....gonna find out if anything else is fubar in the one I just had rebuilt last year and just took out.... AGAIN! lol.

Dash heater control panel is lookin like crap too(anyone know that site to get them?).

The Temp Control Cable is fubar as well, have to open and shut the gate by hand.

The sunroof/moonroof cover wont stay in w/out wedges, ....falls on my head if I forget em! lol.

Think I'm pretty good other than that............ well, ....we'll see anyway, hahaha.

 

Got a fresh chip in the window!

Replacing, well building a rear bumper!

And im looking to rip out the stained vinyl flooring and put carpet in. Cant find a good carpet replacment thou... Well for under $80

 

where do i begin

needs brakes
secondary seal in master cyl leaks
tach starts to work after driving for 20 mins
reverse lights don't come on
upper shock mount - disintigrated
3 staples in one tire
driveshaft has play
shifter slop - should be fixed next week
heater only works on full blast
when i put my left or right signal on the battery volt guage ticks with it LOL
oh and previous owner did a bunch of absolute crap patch jobs - either will try and fix the frame up or buy a 2wd and swap my stuff into it

there is more but i'm afraid to look. oh and there is small hole in cab below gas pedal

 

Mine has the expected list of minor stuff. The first on my list is bald tires but I think we've all got this guy beat.

 

nothing really broken i guess, but the to-do list this spring:
need to wire inclinometer lights
fuel sending unit needs to be replaced with sr5 version (gauge bounces)
re-paint my rollbar
sand/paint trail damage to prevent rust from spreading
recharge k&n air filter
change gear oil out of t-case and diffs
got about 300 more miles til i change out the oil/break in additives in the new motor

its always something....

 

funny thing is, you'll see an ad on craigslist tomorrow with this guy parting it out, and everything will be sold in a week, that cab looks better than mine hahaha
