I blew my head gasket on #1 cly. On October 28 back on the. Drive way Friday morning. An started blowing heavy white smoke, I was like soon of a gun of a gun, and drove to work anyways, and when it came to leave work I pulled the radiator cap and was like yep? Head gasket, filled up the radiator and drove back home cleared out the garage and cleared it out! Drive the battle civic over to advanced auto picked up head gasket kit new head bolts oil oil filter coolant rtv loctite and went to town after leaving the truck set in weighting in the garage for about 5 days until I felt like messing with it, Removed everything cleaned everything up and replaced everything in about one Friday after work, and just let the draining of oil left for Saturday along with putting in the valve cover and popping in the dizzy and setting the timing, found out my oil pump works great when I tried cranking it over without the valve cover, slung oil all over my 2003 hd fxst, truck started on first try! I hurried up and shut it off and went into hazmat clean up, once I cleared up most of the oil I installed everything else and backed her out the garage if it's was coming off the assy line from Toyota in Japan 1990. I didn't even have 300 bucks wrapped up into the entire project....

 

my exhaust hanger on the passenger side snapped off so i hear clunks and clanks when i start my truck up. my bed liner is slowly flaking off. my toolbox has a mind of its own and pops up out of nowhere. my paint on my roof and hood is faded. my spare tire rim was rusted and didnt hold air. so i took it off. my air filter is past due and brown from the dirt and mud. the spark are about 8 months due the bumper got a rust hole starting my fog light coating is starting to flake off.the mileage on the speedometer is wrong and there are some small dents on the passenger side. wow after saying all that i need a cigar.

 

There ya go.

85sr5 4runner sunroof, sr5seats, inclometer ,33x12x50 dunlops. racks ,leveled out

 

Nothin I can't fix

 

And it seems to be eating fuel. Especially when driving.
No seriously, lots of little things.
But I couldn't complain if I tried. If It was a ford i'd be dead by now.

 

The ghetto exhaut on my T only has one rubber isolator holding it up. It is short and dumps right after the axle. Any time you lug the motor the thing wangs up and down GRGRGR. The muffler is a large one and I'm not sure why it hasn't broken the rubber thing yet. The stock one has 3 or 5 isolators holding it up?

 

Currently nothing. Knock on wood...

 

Destroyed my front axle shaft today...
Had a blast doing it though!!

 

well I dont have left or right mirror, I just pulled out the parking brake. and for some reason my left turn signal is out. ( not the bulb)

 

i was thinkin axle seal also.but does anyone know anything about the rearend not engaging at all with no warning?and also made no noise at all

 

Old Betty (1991 2 door 4Runner) needed a lot of help when I first got her. She was a free truck so I took on the challenge. My wife and I spent about $5000 on bodywork - she (the truck, not my wife) was in rough shape with rust holes on every panel and quite a few dents and dings. The guy we took it to used a thicker guage zinc coated steel and epoxied in a few drain holes after we told him what we planned for this truck.
When changing the sparkplugs I noticed one was cross threaded (fantastic) had a buddy come over and tap it out good as new now.
Currently there is a power steering leak, a tick in the motor, a starting problem when it's cold out (cranks over but fuel pump won't kick in - will start if we jump the pump) it makes a noise when driving that gets louder the faster you go (diffs I think) the windsheild washer resevior is leaking, the driver side door needs new hinges - we have to get in the passenger door and pretzel ourselves in the driver seat, occasionally does not want to shift into 1st and the rear window doesn't co operat in the cold.

We love this truck though and have already spent more than its worth to bring it back - this ones a keeper for sure

 

87 toyota pickup. 22r. had trouble cranking at first after adjusting throttle starts fine. now new problem has arisen. first cranking motor runs fine when cold choke stops vehicle runs very roughly until shuts off. continuely flooding carb and pours gas through overfolow through front charcol canister out the drain onto the ground. double checked all vsccum diagrams via chilton manual floats may be stuck but im at a loss!.... any ideas?

 

My alt belt, has been lose for months, I have no desire to tighten up.... Cuz of the high pitched squealing it creates for my neighborhood,

 

Rear axle shaft bearing went bad didn't know it till it was leaking outta my brake drum the bearing was bad so long it wore grooves in my axle so it won't hold a seal I just ordered chromoly shafts from trail gear though whooooo

 

Not exactly sure at the moment. In the process of diagnosing it. I pulled out of a field and hit the pavement a little faster than I wanted to and it instantly died. Its a fuel issue... I know that much.

 

Rear shackle mounts are both broken off my frame, temorarily.

 

How the heck did that happen?

 

It had a full sized ford utility bed on it with stock springs and perches. The dude I bought it from was a drunk, so I think he was just romping on it with all of that weight, and a load of tools. The bed was so heavy, it had the rear springs bowing backwards.
