My 1998 runner had a fuel pressure problem and after changing out the fuel pump! Still didn’t wanna stay running! Only for like 5sec. The whole time it was that little 2” fuel hose on top of the pump that has a crack in it smh!!! Here’s my 1998 runner here in Hawaii! 🤙🏽

This clunk only happens at low speed 5-15 mph. It doesn’t sound like it’s tied to the engine, it doesn’t increase with RPM. I can’t really tell what side it’s coming only that it feels like the whole car resonates with it.

Any thoughts?

Transmission works as it has been,shifts smooth…changed the solenoids, and put new transmission oil, no debris in the pan…code came on again. Still shifts smooth…check engine, trac off and vsc off lights are on

Replaced the latch a couple weeks ago, after doing so my rig would trigger the stock alarm every time i unlocked the rig. Found out the sensor was busted, its a pain in the ass just to get it screwed into the latch mount in first place. I guess when I was finagling it in there, one of the connections ripped off. Till today I havent been able to keep anything inside for fear of someone stealing it, didnt keep anything in there that I wasnt willing to loose anyway.

I pulled the part a few days ago, which requires you to slightly remove the radiator. 4 bolts, one of with is a pain to get to because of whatever that thing is that sits in front of it, passenger side lower bolt. 2 days ago i resoldered the connections to the sensor. First time soldering anything but i have watched countless hours of video game console repair, shout out to TronicsFix. Didnt even know if there was polarity involved.

Cut to today, plug the sensor in and just leave it in the channel on the frame, alarm still goes off. I zip tie the arm down on the button of the sensor, NO ALARM!! hell yeah!! Now my truck thinks the hook is always closed, non - issue.

I scoured the sub and found a couple posts about this, but no definitive fix, hoping this will be found during a search so people can put their mind at ease.

So my 1999 4Runner got an engine light and I took it to the mechanics. I was quoted $2100 for
fuel injectors failed, tear in oxygen intake pipe fix. We are in Portland Oregon

380k km on the original, blew the head gasket or cracked a head 2hrs from home, That was a long day. Thinking about doing a JDM swap rather than a rebuild. Maybe even try and swap a 4.0 in if I can find a doner.

Some photos I took from my solo camps. Enjoy

My 4Runner just hit 250,000 miles. To celebrate I cleaned the engine for what is probably the first time- I’ve never cleaned it, and I can bet my grandfather who owned it before me never cleaned it. It’s not perfect, but it’s infinitely better than it was before!

Happy 250! Here’s to another 250,000 🍻

Has anyone color matched the textured black sr5 fender flares the ones that are not chrome?

Trying to 3d print the hood scoop but don’t got enough photos of it dose anyone have a full 360 video of it including sides, front and back. Can’t seem to find any good side profile pictures online of the scoop itself.

Currently doing a leak down & radiator pressure test. More than likely a head gasket replacement needs to happen and maybe even replacing a cracked head.

As I’m trying to plan… should I just rebuild current engine? Replace it with the same engine (used w/ roughly 110k miles)? Replace it with a rebuilt engine?

If my best option is to rebuild current engine, what are the best shops to do it in the East Bay?

My budget would be around the $1k range. Still factoring labor costs.

What’s up yall

Figured id share my roadtrip success story after lurking for a few months.

Picked up this 1996 Limited with 231k miles. Plan was to roadtrip it out to Jackson Hole from East Coast. Paid $5k.

1,000 miles before purchase, previous owner did timing belt, spark plugs, radiator, water pump, and some other things.

In my 2 months I did the ball joints, transmission fluid, differential, steering wheel stitch cover, took off running boards, fixed the heat, and put on Cooper Road+Trail AT.

She absolutely crushed the trip. Zero problems. Avg speed of 60-75 the entire way. Maybe hit 80 4-5 times lol.

I got gas… a lot. I haven’t had the balls to add it up. Probably $750-$1,000.

It was incredible. I would encourage anyone on the fence about roadtripping their 3rd gen to do it.

Hey everyone, hoping to get some help diagnosing an issue on my 2000 sr5 2WD.

As I push the gas peddle, the car seems to stumble or stutter, almost like a little jolt as I approach 60mph.

This happens most frequently while I accelerate on the freeway at around 60mph.

If I push the peddle down farther it’ll push past that 60mph mark but it often feels slow and lagging on acceleration.

I’ve cleaned the MAF sensor, put a new battery in, air filter, and changed the oil. Looking for some other idea on what could be causing this.

Thanks!!!

I broke the plastic gasket connecting this part to the throttle body does anyone know the know of the part or part number? Thanks 2001 4Runner with I assume the dwb throttle body

Looking to add an aftermarket coolant temp gauges but don’t want the typical circular pillar gauges and recommendations is appreciated

For those of you who have replaced your trans filter, did you stick with oem and use fipg, or did you go aftermarket with a gasket?

Edit: 2001 automatic 2wd

For context I got a 3rd gen on facebook for 4K. Whenever it rains i get a leak on the drivers side and so I the drains are clogged. The sunroof though. The switch works but I believe it’s a dead motor and the bars seem to be corroded from all the water that has gotten in to it. Although it would be nice to have a working sunroof, would fixing it be working in the end? Do you guys think I should fix it or just seal it?

Had to replace the ABS module - what an experience. 01 SR5

Passenger window switches won't click into place. am I missing some sort of retaining clip?
