Oh, also went back to the Toyota salvage yard on 40th street today...still not open, but spoke with the guys next-door for a bit and got the skinny: If you need parts, call Bob at 602-437-2626 and tell him what you need. He'll check the yard and see if they have it. They're changing the name to "all japanese auto and recycling" www.alljapanesesalvage.com and hope to re-open completely in the next few months.

 

Sounds like you are having a hell of a time that sucks hope you get it figured out

 

Suck some seafoam thru your vacuum, it's much more effective than thru your fuel. Ittl burn out all the crap in your engine and smoke out the neighborhood haha

 

Prescott, as now in my miss the as

 

I was hoping to start gathering parts for a conversion later this year.. Might this be a good place to start my search for components?

 

Give 'em a call, they have a few full trucks from what I could see.

CEL is back...knock sensor again. Took it to the stealership to have them put it on their Diagnostic CPU. $120 they wanted to charge me for what ended up being nothing more than reading the code through the OBD2.

Spent an hour correcting the service tech on his lack of knowledge about 4runners. ("well, sir...you have 6 injectors...." NO, I have 7 injectors. "the tech had to take apart the dash to access the ECU..." WHY? It's in the passenger-side kick plate "your O2 sensor is hard-wired into the block and the harness exits the rear of the engine" UM, no...it's a split pig-tail connector that exits through the FRONT of the engine...)

Topper was when I got the papers back it said "ODO in XXX275" "ODO out XXX276" problem is, it was still at XXX275. But supposedly they had test drove it for diagnostic...less than a mile? I called BS and had a talk with the Service Manager just to point out that his mechanics weren't doing what they were charging people for. I ended up paying $0 but the principle of the thing pissed me off.

Bitch session over.

Heading to Tip-Top Sunday if anyone want's to join!

 

Cool I will.

Also, everyone me and a buddy are gonna try to plan a trip for the 21st of april somewhere around Tucson. Is anyone interested? We're thinking like a day trip and want some company. Also, we're taking input on a location.

Chris

 

Is anyone interested in going wheeling somewhere around Tucson this weekend the 21st?

 

hey guys whats new here? been out for awhile with school and all, any cool trips?

 

hey there boys and girls i just picked up a e locker from a 08 fj will this work for a locker in the rear of my rig? i know i have to retrofit it in but everyhting else?

 

Should work. 3linked84 and 85T4runner are both running them front and rear. Perks of being a Toyota tech at recall time I guess.

Thanks nate i pm'ed conner to see if he know's if my gears will work or if i have to buy another set,hopefully it's all going to work out cause i got a smokin deal on the diff

 

Everything should swap over just fine. You should just have to deal with the housing modification and wiring issues. Good luck !!

 

On second thought, that is not entirely true as stated above. I think you'll need to re-use or replace the bearings because that 4 cyl diff has smaller thickness bearings. That's too bad, because those bearings are pretty new and they were cryo treated. Try to re-sell 'em. The R&P will still be fine though.

 

thanks mike, i think the lockrite has seen better days it's starting to go so when i saw this on craigslist i couldn't pass it up 200 bucks how could i go wrong right? the runner is doing great just got ac charged this week and blows nice and cold.

did you get another runner? i see it in you signature

 

Hey all, I am new to the 4runner crowd. Just bought a 1999 SR5 3.4L auto and am ready to hit some trails. I live in high country in Prescott. If there are any groups up here hit me up!

 

OK, here's the REAL reason I went with a pre-runner style bumper.....

 

Great idea! Water? Where were you?

 

Back side of pleasant like you're going to CK but turn Right on Two Cow then right into the wash until you hit H2o....great spot, lots of shade and good water xings to play in too!

 

Thinking of making a run up to Camp Verde Hot Springs on Sunday if anyone wants to join. Supposed to still be 2 or 3 good water x-ings and some cool trails. Taking both 4runners and my buddies 05 Exploder and meeting some Jeep friends from Cornville on the trail.
