I won’t be able to make it until around 3:30 or so, but I plan on bringing the 4runner on a trailer because I haven’t gotten my plates and everything yet!
Can’t wait to see more progress. The 45 is my favourite (and probably a lot of others too) Toyota. That’s rad you got your hands on one. Have fun with the resto, 40+ years of life is definitely interesting.
Honestly I really was surprised at how much they cost given how simple they really are.
On a Toyota aluminum is the way to go, the whole bed weighs 300 lbs. Two guys can lift it. Steel was going to weigh around 1000 which kills payload especially when I always have a trailer.
If you can weld aluminum go for it! They’re very versatile and less to worry about.
Really thought winter was over, I brought home all my equipment and even pulled the salter off the truck and took the bed off to sell.
That was foolish….
Honestly, this is great topic for discussion. Why are some parts desk guys completely inept when it comes to anything older than the year 2000?
As soon as you mention an older vehicle their minds and ears shut off and they just say they can’t help.
Thanks for the P/N’s by the way that’s really helpful. It’s normal if they don’t keep them in stock but at least if they have the PN it makes it easier to look up and order
I’ve always got those peices from trail gear because I had ordered the knuckle rebuild kit.
but you only need the gaskets.
You too Finn! Did some research on the axle castor shims and they’re installed the right way. Best guess is the vibe is coming from my tires.
Thank you so much for the offer Slick, I have a set of stockers, and 31s too, unfortunately it just won’t pass a legitimate safety because the original suspension, braking, steering etc has been altered. So it just takes knowing somebody who will write the safety.
Got insurance on it! It made my policy go down 33 bucks a month which is pretty cool for me being only 25. One of the few perks of getting older.Having trouble finding someone to safety it because of the lift and tires and bumpers, but my friend lined me up with someone more “lenient” So next week hopefully I can get that ironed out and get some historic plates.
Today I adjusted the valves, did PCV and grommet, flushed coolant and did another oil change because there was tons of moisture in it.
The residue was only on the front part of the valve cover, after I changed the fluids I took it for a long drive and there was nothing on the oil cap when I pulled it, and oil still looked good
This ones closer to home I may be able to make it! Trying my best to get a safety on my 4runner, I got over the insurance hurdle.
