O.K. Guys,

I have a new, to me, 1999 4runner 2wd v6 SR5 that I purchased about three weeks ago and I plan on spending all day tomorrow doing all the little mods I have reading about here on the forums. So far I am going to do the ISR mod, the elbow mod, the deckplate mod, changing my throttle body gasket to the "O" gasket if necassary and possibly retrofit a lighted ignition from the limited.

While I am at it what else should I do?? any other other cheap less than 1 day things I can do while I am at it? I was thinking about cleaning my MAS but I can't find a detailed write up with pics for the 99 3.4

 

How about tinting the front windows (at a shop), if they are not already tinted.....

 

mycotopian,

if you're doing the deckplate, skip the elbow mod. it won't improve performance.

other mods to consider:

- cleaning your engine bay (engine cleaner and/or simple green and finish w/ CD2)
- adding an aux fuse box for future 12v powered mods (http://www.4runners.org/articles/dist)
- adding another 12v cig lighter (http://www.4runners.org/articles/12v)

How about add/order an Amsoil air filter? What about picking up a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher?

This isn't really a mod but you might want to clean your TB.

 

I already dropped in my amsoil But I have not seen a write up about cleaning the throttle body on the 3.4, gotta link??

Keep the suggestion s coming I'll be documenting everything with my new digicam.

 

Here's some good info about the MAF
Heres the location of the Maf


Here's what you need to clean(the IAT sensor)

Here's a Throttle body cleaning writeup

 

ok i am gonna clean mine too can i just dip it into water

 

Put a high flow muffler on it. I've got a brand new 18" magnaflow for sale if your're interested.

 

what is the "0" gasket mod? sorry about the hijacking.
Thanks

 

After reading this I went out and cleaned my maf w/ some non residue electrical contact cleaner. All went well until I droped both my screwdriver ratchet attatchment and the ratchet part that fits the maf bolts after I had it all taken off. That sucked. Don't know if it helped anything yet though. TB will be tommorrow I guess.

I highly recommend putting lights in the footwells. Invaluable if you ever drop anything at night. Only takes a couple hours or so.

 

After a driving a while I have concluded that it was indeed worthwhile. Good times.

 

Hey guys!

So far I have only beem able to install the new head unit and so the ISR mod. Tomorrow hopefully I'll tackle a few more mods. I have a ton of pictures of the ISR mod if anybody want to host them
