Was able to hook up the Supra AFM and I can tell you that it is worth the money to upgrade, what a difference. This winter I hope to upgrade full exhaust w/ header. I need a new air filter too cause the used one I grabbed w/ the AFM is worn and not even a real K&N




Acceleration now is amazing and climbing hills is easier too as everyone who has done the upgrade has stated. My freeway speed is smoother now and my MPG increased by 2 which is weird because I drive faster now because of the AFM. I am happy with the upgrade regardless if it is actually getting me better MPG or not. Wish I still had my 93 4runner w/ 22re because it needed this upgrade.

Been looking for a Supra AFM myself. Missed one by a day awhile back. I have been checking in on you from time to time. You are making progress. Great job.

Been busy this winter and finally got around to getting some things I needed. Got a Denso fuel pump


Also ordered my driveline e-brake and knuckle rebuild kit but that has yet to arrive.Was at the junk yard and picked up a 90's 22re throttle body w/ manifold to upgrade mine.



Also replaced my FPR as im trying to remedy my warm hard starts. Didn't help but my engine is mostly original and was in need of upgrade anyways.

Glad to see another Reno build on here. I know a guy that has multiple 4runners and pick ups for parts. He's out by me in the north valleys.

Finally got my allen head screws for my TPS. Much easier to adjust now and for less than $2 I'm glad I made the switch.


Also got my knuckle rebuild kit and E-brake for my driveline from AllPro. Picked up a brake handle from a toyota van that mounts between the seats and matches my interior, the cable is also thicker and should hold up better than the stock that always seems to break. Now if I can just make a new bracket for my TJM bumper then I will be happy for a bit

I got a great deal on some Yukon 3rd row seats, yah for craigslist! Plan on installing them soon and replacing my old seats. Nice seatbelt upgrade vs old lap belts.

Was lucky enough to get me some nice 3000GT bucket seats at the PnP for $50, They fit real nice and are about 1 inch lower. The two left bolts line up perfect on the driver side, just had to drill holes for the other side. The passenger seat needed the same holes drilled but was worth it. The PO had blue seats which I hated and because I will be doing my interior black and charcoal this seemed the best way to kick it off.









Also started to install my van e-brake handle but will need to fab up an new bracket to work with my drive line kit, just doesn't pull tight fast enough. Too many links.

Yeah those Yukon rear seats look cool, and definitely a good upgrade for the belts.

I haven't had time to install them yet, they are just sitting there until I do. I stripped the bottoms like others have done now I just need to anchor them down. I have to load a bunch of stuff this weekend so I may push it for a week.

DAYUM! I could have sworn I was scribed to a thread of yours... Apparently not , or at least not this one! NICE WORK, MAN! You've come a LONG way, Sir!

LOVE the job you did on those wheels!

LOVE the 3000gt Seat Swap.... (I ALMOST grabbed a set of those... But one was fubar... Went with the Scion tC swap instead and then right back to 'MODDED/EXTRA PAD ADD' Factory SR5 Seats I had in the first place! haha... Had to have em welded for fix'n but I LOVE EM!) but MAN, those look comfy!

Interesting on the Supra mod... been wanting that for a while, but like mentioned, I KEEP MISSING EM BY THATTTTTTT MUCH! lol. GRR!

Wow, great read in a couple pages, man... you've been KICK'N'RUMP at a good clip!

Found me a center console that I liked at a Pick n Pull and installed it today. Has plenty of space for more switches and fits nicely around my relocated brake handle. All I need to do is shave down the Land Rover logo on the rubber pad on top and i'll be set.


You can also see how the brake is routed since I didn't use the original and had to improvise. Would like to make it a little cleaner but for now it functions well enough. The brake cable is also thicker and don't see myself breaking it like all my original ebrake cables.



Plus I finally got around to installing the CB and getting it off the floor in the back where it was getting trampled on by the kids. Now I have a feeling they will be playing around with it while I'm not looking.

Wow, cool console! That IS very practical... What year was it/Era?

Cool install on the CB! haha... Yep, kids just love to stomp on things, don't they?
