This is in my driveway and I’m having mild panic attacks about it being my problem now. So, build thread. Cool stuff: 2000 supercharged 3RZ, 5spd, 4.7 (supposedly) tacobox 3 linked wagoneer D44 that probably has been narrowed, on 2” sway-a-away coilovers. Stock rear with some kinda full float...

Anyone know offhand what gear ratios commonly came in 3rz/auto 1st gen Tacomas?

Any of yall ever cut a big hole in your hood and rivet some louvers on? Did it make a difference? Mine gets kinda hot in the summer and I'm thinking it might help keep the temps in check, but don't want to exert the effort if it's a pointless thing to do.

I know enough to be dangerous when it comes to aircraft wiring, but I don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to Toyota connector identification. What kind of pins are these, and what kind of crimp tool do I need to replace them? For reference, that pin is 3mm wide and the wire is 18 gauge...

I went four wheeling a few weeks ago on some fairly mild trails a couple hours from here. Nothing too crazy, couple of ledges, some hill climbs, and some water crossings. This was the sketchiest thing I did the whole day. I drove a couple hours home and noticed my elocker light was on, but the...

I’m looking for an actuator cover (big plastic chunk with spiral contacts and the connector) off the back of the case. Don’t care if the spiral contacts are worn, just want intact plastic. Edit: Do any of all know if the actuator on a later 4th gen 4Runner or 2.7L 2nd gen Tacoma uses the same...

I made a thread a while back about wanting to find a shitbox 1st gen Tacoma that I could be mean to instead of ruining my 4Runner. Since then I've been keeping an eye out for a truck that fits my needs and budget. Well, I found one that is almost exactly what I'd build, is priced reasonably, and...

My shitty toytec front shocks are both blown. Obviously I need kings. Alas, I am a poor. Any of y’all willing to share places I can keep an eye on for a used set of kings? T4R is like 5th gen only these days, and fb marketplace in Kentucky is great if you want to trade your four wheeler for a...

My dumb ass drove through a deep river the other day without realizing the tcase actuator vent tube was off and I'm pretty sure I killed my actuator. Still need to do some troubleshooting to confirm it, but so far the position switches are testing good and it's acting like the actuator doesn't...

Anyone know how different these two are? I have a set of metaltech rear upper links, and one of the johnny joints is rusted in the link. I really like them, but metaltech no longer makes them. I've heard that 4G/FJC links are almost identical, but are like 1/8" longer. Can anyone confirm? I've...

Does anyone know if one is bigger than the other, or hangs down lower? My new budbuilt belly skid doesn't fit my 2001 4Runner without adding a bunch of washers as spacers between the skid and the crossmembers because it interferes with the t-case (multimode) by like half an inch. And yes, I...

I have a decently built 3rd gen 4Runner (33s, gears/locker, armor). I bought it from my sister after she'd had it for 14 years with the intention of beating the shit out of it in the woods and using my Sierra as a DD, but having had it for 3 years or so, I've come to love it as a DD and have...

I know we've got the tools/shop talk thread but figured this deserves its own thread since it's a fairly specific topic. I need to find a better way to carry mine (3rd gen 4Runner). Right now I've got a big flip top home depot tote with a wrench roll, breaker bar, spare SPC balljoints, belts...
