Did you ever get this fixed? I've opened up the actuator on a gx470 like this youtube vid: If I recall correctly, if the gears aren't clocked correctly-ie actuator rod is pulled out too little or too much, the light will illuminate incorrectly. Like thezentree said. To clock the gears...

Yes, the new engine was broken in with the supercharger along with larger injectors. If you have any questions about the various ways I tried to get the engine to run prior to rebuild and standalone ECU, feel free to ask. It's been quite the learning experience!

I was hoping to get 400k out of my 3rz but unfortunately, I was never able to get it properly tuned after adding a supercharger which resulted in burned exhaust valves in cylinders 1 and 3. Since I already had 300K on the engine, I decided to pull the engine and go about sourcing a replacement...

Selling a full sized Bajarack which fits 96-02 4Runners. Had it atop vehicle for about 6 months before deciding to go with a RTT. Nowadays, it just takes up space in the garage. Here's the manufacturer's website/ description for more details...

For Sale: 2.5M awning by RhinoRack Outer cover is olive green as is the shade material itself. No holes or rips but the canvas could be resealed with tape in some areas. Has all items (extra tie downs and stakes). Will include 2 angle brackets and stainless hardware to mount to captured nut...

For Sale: Full-sized rack for a 3d gen 4runner (p/n BRT4RG382LP) Item has spent the past 6 years in the corner of the garage taking up space. Rack weight: 75 Lb (34.02Kg). Load Capacity: Dynamic (while driving) 300Lb (136 kg); Static 600Lb (272 kg) Measurements: 82”(2082.8 mm) Long x 41”...

Noticed you listed: " Espar Airtronic D2 Diesel Heater " Could you share details on installation? Have looked into them but haven't seen too many 3d gen 4runners equipped with one.

Leaving a write up in case another member has an issue with their W59 equipped Toyota. Background: A Marlin Crawler w59 rebuild was put in and everything went together as planned. After putting on about 50K miles on the transmission, it started to get difficult to get into 1st gear. I was...

Function or glitz? Assuming the mechanic has done preventive maintenance on the higher mileage unit such as: - flush brake fluid every couple of years - flush trans once or twice - changed water pump and timing belt (about $1,100 @ lexus dealer) I think you are far, far ahead getting the...

I agree with DaveinDenver's reply - it should last after all, 7.5" is the OEM spec but perhaps will less margin of safety when using the gas pedal to get over an obstacle. The 7.5" IFS clamshell diff uses 27 spline axles and the 8" IFS clamshell diff uses a 30 spline axles- not sure about...

Just curious but have you checked to see if any of the later model Tundra front clamshell diffs bolt in with no/minor modification? It might be possible to pick one up for a really reasonable price which is a notch or two in strength up from the 7.5" Based on this article here, seems it is...

How much do you plan to cover with your skid plates? Full bellypan like this? Based solely on the tire size you've listed (I may be way off here) I am guessing you are not going to intentionally look for rock gardens to traverse or pick the hard lines (when a less extreme one exists) so the...

Here are some thoughts from someone who has had a hard shell RTT (James Baroud Space) on my daily driver for the past 120K+ miles and 300+ nights. I enjoy the fast set/tear down time and ability to camp anywhere where my vehicle can go and I am not limited by dry or uneven ground. If the...

It depends on how much heat you're looking for. If you're planning on doing any winter / snow camping, I don't think any of the commercially available propane heaters are going to do much good. You see, they all have carbon monoxide cut off switches. I tried using a lil buddy propane catalytic...

Happy to help! One more item which might come in handy is a set of Firestone airbags for the rear coils. They're cheap ($100 or so) and can make a big difference in load capacity and keeping your headlights pointed in the right direction when loaded up.

Sounds like you've covered the big mechanical items; here are some maintenance items I've dealt with: - Radiator: the oem unit will eventually develop a hairline crack on the top tank. This seems somewhat common on higher mileage vehicles so it may have something to do with heat cycling. Better...

Between BFG KO2s and Nitto Terra Grapplers, the KO2s are less noisy. Haven't had a chance to drive the KO2s in snow but I suspect snow performance may be better. Both sets of Nittos have held up to a minimum of 50K though.

Also, don't forget a Rubbermaid bin or something of the like. Seeing how solid human waste is to be packed out, I didn't feel safe throwing used ziploc bags in the Trasharoo. A rigid sealable bin did the trick nicely. BTW, Island in the Sky, which is adjacent to the Maze, has outhouses at...

Although you may be ok with just a fill-up prior to starting the Maze, as others have mentioned, it would be cheap insurance IMO to carry an extra 6 gallons of gas. I just got back from a Maze trip last week and did used my extra gas (6gals) but I might not have needed it. I was at a 1/4 tank...

Having had an opportunity to test out the suspension for over 300 miles of dirt roads + obstacles which involved flexing the rear suspension, I have the following comments/ recommendations for those doing this mod; Allow for additional airline leaving the bag. When the suspension droops...
