Rear Cargo Sleeper Storage System Updated Version! Toyota 4Runner
I have a 2004 4runner. Replaced the fuel sending unit. Still not reading accurately. When I fill it up all the way the needle passes the F mark by about a quarter. What can I do about that?
Thank you. My AC stopped working, and I thought it'd be a compressor. But swapping the relay worked for me.
Just A Warning! I Replaced My Fluid when I did A New Transmission Gasket + Filter Just For It To Start Slipping... I Had To Put in Lucas Oil Transmission Fix Stops Slips. Its Working But For How Long...
If the cameras fail, does it revert to being a normal mirror like some do?
Yes it does and my mirror is actually broken behind that haha
Show! How solv abs ligth on, 3rd gen ?
Thanks for making these videos! If you were to drain the fluid & saw metal shavings in there, would that mean its too late to add new fluid and you should just put the old fluid back?
Hmm the magnets are in the pan so you shouldn’t see too many shavings unless you tore that apart. On a single drain and fill, only half the fluid comes out so you can add new fluid in and see how it goes. Save the old fluid if you’re paranoid! I suspect mixing half old and half new will be fine.
Thank you so much! I was about to take my MDX to the shop but found your video. My AC relay was also made in Vietnam and swapping it with fog lights fixed it. You saved me big $$ and from an angry wife while we are driving on vacation. Thanks!!!
Excellent lol
Hola, porfa me ayuda con las medidas para construir herramientas para sacar rodamiento
Thank you subscribed
Thanks bro! It fixed my issue.
Very nice !!
What’s the right thread pitch for the front bump stops😊
Doing this in my s2000
what does the safety bolt do? The one that goes into the end of the cv spline?
Quick question: What’s the difference between the OME 890 coils vs the 906 coils you used here. Would I get more rear lift with the 890’s if I use them instead?
890 is 3” and 906 is 2” lift
@@PhoRunner - I thought so.. thanks!
@@PhoRunner- I bought the Land Cruiser springs but wasn’t sure I can use them in this lift application. Might be too tall? If so, I’ll fall back on the 890’s.
@tony_lopez I’m using them in mine and it gives it a nice 3-3.5” lift
@@PhoRunner - The LC coils can still be used with the Bilstein 5100 (P/N 24-249966) in this video?
Great video. I was not able to find you at 3rd Gen 4runner Mafia, just joined the group, my name is Javier Martinez Hernandez, I would like to know where did you hide your kill switch, I am about to instal one in my 2000 limited 4runner, thanks!
Love me some Pho...just discovered your channel. You seem to do good work sir. Just subbed. Thanks for the content
with skid plate off , may as well grease the front universal joint
Thank you for this video. Very informative and helpful! Hope you continue to keep making quality how-to videos. Timmy’s videos are a great help as well!
Dude I can't believe I came across this video! Hope you're doing well
Dont have to do all that,pull it up ,cut it,feed new back in as antenna is trying to lower,save a few hours
Or,just turn radio on to get antenna up,leave it up pull antenna as far out as you can,vise grip it,cut it off ,feed new antenna w teeth forward, turn radio off, your done
I noticed the brake fluid in my reservoir is really dark. Can I drain it by one side and then refill fresh so all the lines are getting new fluid since the reservoir is so bad?
Many have done this for decades and yes
Thank you for all the help brother
I would use a turkey baster to suck it out and put new in :)
Did you put the fender liner back in place?
Great video, are you supposed to have the key on when doing a bleed to flush the ABS pump?
If you have a 01-02, probably.
I replaced my battery with the exact one you bought from Costco. Now that it’s replaced, there are several indicator lights that won’t go off on the gauge cluster (ABS, Airbag, Brake & TRAC). Did I do something wrong? Do you know how I can resolve this issue?
Did you reinstall everything on the positive side.
@@PhoRunner - Yes I did. When I put the battery back in, I connected the positive side first.
@@PhoRunner - As a side note, before the battery replacement, I had to jump start the truck with a Duralast 1,000 amp portable jump starter.
@@tony_lopez check your fuses. One could have blown
Hey quick question can i engage my 4wd on dry pavement if im going really slow and straight not making any turns. My 2000 sr5 didnt go into 4h when i tried to engage it moving about 5 mph it felt like it did engage but the light didnt come on and they truck felt kind of held up i shifted back to 2h and it didnt seem to fully disengage untill i went into reverse. While stopped i can engage it and the light comes on could this be from not useing it often thw truck has been siting for awhile
Going straight is fine to engage on pavement. Sometimes it can take some time/ tries to get it to engage.
@PhoRunner I got it to engage but I feel some kind of Resistance like as if in full wheel drive, it doesn't want to roll forward when in drive is this normal? I hear no funny sounds or clunks just feels like resistance when I press the gas
@Cmc-365 are you in 4hi or 4lo
@PhoRunner 4 high. when I gave it some gas I heard a little cherp I think. it just feels like it's being held back I'm not near a dirt road so I'm just goin back and forth in a straight line I'm scared to give it normal gas I'm just pressing down soft on the pedal and when I let off you can feel it slowing the truck down
Could it be the front drive shaft maybe it's warn out and binding I haven't used 4x4 since I bought it I've been slowly working on it the guy I bought it from just showed me that it engaged into 4 high and 4 low so I assumed it worked. Lol
My Land Cruiser Prado 98 diesel has the H=High speed box (70% power in the rear, 30% in the front) HL= High speed Lock Differential (50% rear, 50% forward) LL= Low speed Lock Differential (for extreme conditions), is it possible to install front Spartan Locker?? physically it is the same as the 7.5 inch 4runner 3rd generation
I don’t see why not
Hey i have a 2000 sr5 if i add this to the front will it bind up in 2wd while turning?
No it will not bind until 4wd activated
@PhoRunner so I can trun in 4wd as long as I'm off road not on road right
@Cmc-365 yup. You’ll hear some ratcheting in 4wd. In 2wd, should then like stock.
Quick question. What’s the advantage of running the Tundra coils on the front as opposed to the OME ones?
I don’t think any. Ome should be fine. They might ride nicer but subjective
I got 2004 tacoma what year tundra caliber should I get
Are you still using the same type of oil? Looking to do my first oil change on my 98 runner,so looking to use the best quality oil to maximize engine life. thank you and god speed
Me PhoRunner, do you hace Instagram???
LBJ Club!! Who else reppin!!
Hey do you have change out the shock brushing
Pry our old and put new in
With 2 inch lift, will it rub if you put 265/75R16 tires. What's the ideal size tire if you want to go bigger. Currently have 265/70r16 on my 2001 4runner.
It shouldn’t rub with a 2” lift. The 32” size you mentioned is what I’d choose for my runner. I recently went back to 32s lol
Is there an issue if you connect the hose to the radiator through the Yellow section?
Love yours vids! I just got my 4Runner 1 month ago and needed to change the OEM radiator (255k miles) with zero leaks, as a preventative measure for the pink milkshake. Really helpful video to DIY it. Although, I got a new OEM Denso radiator, installed it and it’s leaking some drops from the bottom black plastic cover, where the radiator clamps into the cover. Any idea of why or suggestions? Drive for a while and see if it seals?
What size bleeder hose is that? Bought a kit from Walmart but the hose is extremely small. Won't even fit on the bleeder valve.
It’s whatever came with the bleeder kit but likely 1/4 or 3/8” ID. Probably 1/4
@@PhoRunner oh ok
Another great video
I don't know how to do the transmission draining but i learn alot with this videos thanks keep the great work 👍
Hey Pard, Still using this?
Good DIY video, Thank you!
No problem
@@PhoRunner Do you work more on Toyota cars? I want to know if you have time to test our Launch Toyota version scanner.
The picture there is cool, is this north Santa Barbara county like past Los Olivos or in the back roads?
Pine flat California
Thank you for the great video.
You are most welcome
Someone may have already said this. If you wired it to continuous power fuse instead of the aux would that let you wire your fridge?
Wait so you don't have e to connect the antenna??
Nope. It uses existing connection via the tube
Love your well explained videos. I've some some things on my surf after watching your videos. Have you done a front diff oil change. I can't find the drain and fill plugs. Also when i did my breathers i couldn't trace the old front diff breather hose back to the diff so i just connected onto the end of the old breather hose. Keep up the great videos.
Good info. Changing radiator, hoses, transmission coolant lines and grabbed transmission filter kit as well.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I was also wondering where you got your tow hitch from or what kind it is
It’s a hidden hitch and I’m sure etrailer or Amazon sells it. Mine came with it from previous owners. I do like that it sits higher than the oem one
