I sold alot of parts to get the donw paymment. however i have not given up. the 4runner is running im getting the thin smoged soon i hope. I had some bumps along the way. ie it got broken into and the broke my jeff mosk pillar pod stole my wideband sensor and guage. took about 600 bucks in damage and property.  live and learn. my new house has a 2 car garage so ill try and park it in there. ive had bad luck with this project but i love my 4runner so it will contine. i am kinda pot commited now.  more pics to come  All i can say is fiberglass hood port hole hood scoop and a vw intercooler.

holy crap! rob is alive! haha, i knew he was alive, lol.....


rob, sorry to hear your truck got broken into! was it while it was at that guys shop? that's pretty messed..... how is it running? ever get that issue with the dead cylinder worked out?

hey rob, was a window broken? i have a spare passenger side non wing window

[robrub00]

yeah at that guys shop. he is comping me some of the laborcost i believe and replaced the wide band stuff.  he un foweled the plug and says it is running great he took it to get an emmisions test and it passed fine. so he needs to take it to get smogged. he fixed some vacume leaks and is plumbing an intercooler. it is running cold except the pipe between the turbo and the tb so the intercooler should be a good improvement.  no windows wer broken  he  slid the rear slider in the shell so no real damage except he decided to brake the guage pillar to get the guages out.  he missed the msd stuff in the back thank god!!! 

[jimbo74]

wow.... glad to hear the progress.... sucks about the theft though...... let me know if i can do anything for you..

i've got my engine pulled now..... and just need time to start building the new one..... researching stuff right now though...... so i can hit it hard with everything at hand and have it done quickly --- when i pulled the engine, i labeled all the bolts in ziplocs with a sharpie.... so no more big mess on the floor

[jimbo74]

rob's truck needs some help. he doesnt have internet, im actually text messaging him from my phone and posting from my phone too... he said his mechanic now says tps issues... that he replaced it, tuned the new one, still funky, more details momentarily

[jimbo74]

ok so he said its got a tps code.... says hasa  coolant leak.... head gasket leaks oil.... and there is an engine knock.....
