I got my helicoil set and new studs. I'm going to helicoil the stripped threads. I just got my pace setter header today and it was a huge disappointment. It was way warped and came with a ripped gasket. The place I got it from was very good about taking it back and are going to refund it with...

yea, part of me wants to do the JB weld fix but I think I"ll probably do the helicoils. I have one that is all the way stripped and a second that I could feel the threads pulling out on, so I think I'm better off just fixing them both. Everything was taken apart just a few weeks ago, so I...

Yea, My plan is to do a fiberglass patch for now, and down the road once everything is in tip top mechanical shape, I'm going to either replace them with junk yard panels, or do full fiberglass. That is ways down the road though. I've run into a snag this weekend. I had a crack in the...

We got both swapped today and we got pretty much everything hooked back up. There is one orphaned white connector by the gas tank that I believe is for the park break light and a few things need to be adjusted and tightened down, but the 4runner fired up and ran. Tomorrow I'm going to bleed...

Hi. I just picked up a pair of 87 4runners. One of them was the built up, rolled 4runner that I got from SLC97SR5 and which ricsrx was kind enough to drop off. The other one is a fairly strait, albeit fairly rusted bone stock SR5 with a two tone black/od green rattle can paint job. I'm...

Would you be willing to sell the rolled one with out the second body? If I got them both that would be 3 4runners and I'm not sure my wife would be too into that.

yea, I've been doing some research, and it looks like I will have to fab up a bracket to mount the power steering pump and to mount the steering gear box. I have a dead 4runner in my garage, It has a saginaw style steering box, and I have a power steering pump from a supra lying around too...

Last week the 93 honda accord i drove to work every day gave up the ghost and I was able to convince my wife that a 67 CJ 5 with a tin hard top was a reasonable replacement for my daily driver. The Jeep is actually in pretty good shape. It is all original including the seats and still has the...

I work as a machinist, and unfortunately, we have had only bad luck with American made materials. With extruded aluminum bar stock, they skip processes to remain competitive with foreign companies. The American Aluminum we've been getting isn't annealed after being extruded, so when its cut...

thanks guys, I ended up just drilling a piece of cold rolled 1018 and boring it out and turning down the od.

yea, Its for a part at my work and the id has to be the 1". we only need 7 1/2 inches or so and the boss doesn't really want to buy a full stick from Marmon.

I need a foot of 1 3/4 x 3/8 wall dom. anybody have a piece I can buy off them?

something similar happened to me on my 98 4runner. It ended up being the ball and cup assembly on the cv end of the drive shaft.

ah ok, if that is the case, you can get a few inches of lift on those with FJ 80 front springs in the rear, and front tacoma strutts in the front. I can't remeber what year tacomas though. I know a few people that rock 33's with that lift and the truck still rides very well.

is the 91 still with the removable hard top, or does it have a solid body? I never remember when the change happend

to get your arm eaten off by a shark and keep truckin? wow man I'm sorry I didn't know, I'll be more sensitive next time. That story is very motivational now that I read it, and now I feel like a total douche, one for accusing the one armed surfer girl to be a fraud, and doing it on a forum with...

I was driving today and saw this poster about a girl the kept surfing even after having her whole arm eaten off by a shark.... I think the whole thing is bs. How do you paddle out with one arm? Wouldn't you just go in a circle? I also think the one about a blind guy climbing Everest may be a...

I have an 85 4runner, that has taken a heck of a beating. We destroyed it in delta two years ago at the first old school rock crawl, and we were competitive and all I had done at the time was weld the diffs, and put a cheapo lift, so with very little mods, you can do a lot with a yota, but they...

toyota stuff is only "tuff" because the motors are so weak that they can't break anything. They are about the cheapest thing to build that will still do pretty well but even with a small supra I6 (less than 200 hp), guys start blowing stuff up like crazy. Things like ring and pinions, and...

when I did mine, my ram had the same problem. I took the little rubber plug out of i it and it girgled out a bunch of air, and now it works fine. Mine has no problem working on its side.
