Love to hear how this works out! I hear good things and my girlfriend would love it if I quite dragging her out to the garage to help me bleed the brakes, clutch, etc. Along the lines of bleeding - Anybody have a good method for getting the air out of the powers steering system? All the...

Crenshaw - I've always been a huge fan of "old's cool" thread and your truck. Do you feel like the 4.88's are a good match for your 33's and the 3.4? I'll definitely get the temp monitoring sorted before a longer drive. It made me very uneasy driving without the ability to monitor it knowing...

That looks like a super clean 88. Nice find! As for the swap I would start by reading this thread. https://www.yotatech.com/f160/3-4-swap-101-a-239002/ From there just start searching yotatech every time you run into an issue and chances are someone has documented the solution. The most...

I spent a good part of this weekend working to wrap up the swap. I knocked out most of my list, but of course some new issues have now surfaced. I cleaned up my wiring harness and got all my wire runs tidied up under the hood and body of the truck. It felt good to finally square away the rats...

The wheels look great against the green truck. They remind me of the classic Subaru rally gold rims:victory:

It took a bit longer than expected, but I finished installing my exhaust tonight. I'm just waiting on some new hangers I ordered to keep it all tucked up out of harms way. Of course this configuratoin leaves my downstream O2 sensor about 8" short from making the connection to the engine...

That's awesome! The ones with helicopters on the left ski? If so I definitely built those!

Can't wait to see some pictures of the camper. Looks like a great set up!

Thanks! It definitely serves a few purposes. It's the first garage I've had in 10 years. Having a spot to flick on the radio or throw on a surf/ski/bike flick and wrench out of the rain greatly increases my likelihood to be productive after work. They are the best! ON3P's and first gens...

I set off from work today determined to complete my exhaust tonight. After a quick stop by the Toyota parts department I was on my way with the last of the hardware I needed. I started by finishing the last weld on my tailpipe and cut off the hangers that were in the wrong locations. IMG_2369...

Good eye Loubaru! Guilty. I couldn't stomach the cost of a nicer table when I plan to build a larger permanent welding table in the future. I'm not sure when that'll be given that my garage already fits the definition for "10 lbs of **** in a 5 lb bag" :) I'm planning an organizational overhaul...

That's a beautiful Hilux, KLRTim! I would would love to have a Toyota mini-truck with a stock diesel. I started in on my exhaust tonight and made a little progress. If it didn't take an hour to get all the shipping labels off that were stuck directly to each of the three sections I may have...

Looks like you're off to a great start!

I've been getting all my wiring tucked away and cleaning up the engine bay. I went back and forth on doing a body lift or cutting a hole in my hood to clear the intake. I really didn't want to cut the hood, but in the end my distaste for body lifts won out. I picked this bumper up off...

Thanks, JET4! I definitely have a soft spot for the 1st Gen 4Runners.

Pictured above is the condition I bought the truck in aside from the classic 4Runner sag. I picked up a pair of TJ coils to do a Zuk mod and level out the suspension. Hey, who said jeeps aren't good for something? :ylsmoke: After that I replaced the body mounts figuring they were probably due...

1989 4Runner v6 5spd My first car was a 2nd Gen 4Runner. After seeing first hand the abuse they could take I became a Toyota fan for life. I eventually sold it and got a commuter that was more practical at the time. When I decided to pick up another 4x4 to get places my daily driver couldn't...

Hi Someday, I had the same issue with a 4runner I bought as a donor. The method in the video below worked for me. I ended up using a 4x4 in a battering ram orientation to strike the tire (tire, not wheel) from under the car to knock the wheel off. It took just about everything I could put...
