Haha, this kid doesn't know a lot, but what he does know, he tries to share with the world. Glad I could help ya!

Daniel Ferrell That makes me so happy:) It made a world of difference when I did it on my 3rd gen. They’re the best👊

Same brotha! I love this thing. If I had the room (and money) I'd have one as a daily and another for offroading:D

If you live in acclimate weather the driver side has no drain hole in the frame under the left side doors and rots from the inside out. Eastwood inside frame encapsulator is what i am using after the weld repair to the frame. Do your research and protect your unicorn.

I just got a 99 4runner with 113k for $3500. After driving for 3000 miles and watching videos about this ride it's starting to sink in just how dependable this vehicle is. With keeping up on oil changes and stuff this vehicle is bullet proof

We have two we have never maintained and they don't quit

@@whocares4464 we have two, we change oil every 15,000 to 20,000. They are bullet proof.

Thank you, good to know!

Glad to help! It's still one of my favorite 'mods' to date;)

@@PartimeOverland keep more tips coming please! 👏👍👌💥😏

Thanks for the info!

Understatement of the year:D

About to weld on mine as well. Good luck to you

@@2wentytwoterry196 Make sure you disconnect your battery,so you won't Short anything out...when welding..

@@rx7cl Thank you for saying this because i wouldn't have even thought about it. Any other good tips by chance?

@@2wentytwoterry196 Good tip for 4runner is put a oil cooler on transmission,and bypass the radiator..they break inside and dump coolant in trans....had strawberry milkshake when I checked it...now all good...

@@rx7cl Guy I bought it from fixed that same issue with a new solenoid he said I believe. The external cooler is still a good idea though. Thanks for your time, cheers

No worries brotha! Hope the Taco drives much better now:)

Well, yes and no. Obviously not changing the overall power of the engine, but you are increasing the useful range of power of the engine. Technically too since adjusting the cable allows the throttle body to open up further it actually might be increasing the horse power... Either way, it makes for a much more responsive ride. Definitely try it if you haven't already. Cheers brotha!

Tyler Schimke Great to hear that brotha! Glad I could help a fellow Yota driver out🙏🏼👊

Right on dude! It's so simple but makes a HUGE difference. Happy trails!

K. Jackson Ethier You got it! Glad to help🤙

Haha that's one way to do itXD

Right on! Glad to help

Love to hear it! It made mine feel like a new car again!

@@PartimeOverland I can now go highway speeds and get there rather quickly haha

You’ll see a big difference!🔥

Do it! It makes all the difference. She'll feel like a brand new rig

Yes certainly! If the cable is loose it will make a huge difference! Both with total power and gear shifting

It'll definitely make a difference!

Yessir, makes a world of difference! And you can't beat free:)

Do it man! She'll be running like a whole different animal

cj t Do it! You’ll love driving it so much more😉😍

Sometimes the best mods are the stupid simple ones we look past and don't think about. And even better, this one's free;)

Yeah unfortunately paint is very pricey:/ Might as well do some offroading while the paint is old;)

Who needs a super charger anyway?! ;)

Thanks brotha, love hearing it! Cheers from Colorado

Bassey Eton Cheers!

I actually just finished up a build video on them;) They’re custom. Subscribe if you haven’t already, the video’s gonna be up soon!

Check out the channel, I just uploaded a detailed build video;)

Glad to help!

I’d loosen that up a bit. Normal idle is around 1100-1200 rpm

Yessir! I'm actually planning on doing an updated video and replacing the whole cable all together. That i suppose is the 'ultimate' fix for this

Glad to help!

Tell me more! What do you mean about the losing 30 miles? These 4runners are certainly not the best cars for fuel efficiency, but they're pretty darn good in almost every other aspect. My personal recommendation is to keep the stock tire size if you're driving it just on the street. If you want to go offroad as well, then stick with a small rim, 16" ideally, so you can maximize your tire sidewall height. As far as upping fuel efficiency, there are a few maintenance items to check. There's a super great article on T4r.org you can check out that goes over them all. May help if you seem to be getting under average mileage www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/82033-3rd-gen-4runner-buyers-guide.html

@@PartimeOverland i lost a total of 30 miles when filling up. I assumed I was down to 15 mpg but i guess thats normal. But yeah. The rig is perfect for all my needs. Just don’t like the mpg and power off the line. Maybe your tip will help. Also, i wonder if adding the Sprint Booster will add some more Go, if it’s available for 3rd gen

@@snoopdisnoopyou said you went to 17” wheels. Did you also up the tire size too? i’m considering upgrading my 2000 4Runner to 17” wheels with 265/70/17 tires. Tryna keep my mpg as good as I can get it

Yes i did upgrade tires too. Someone recommended getting skinnier tires. Not as wide. I also removed my spare during city driving.

@@snoopdisnoop i’m going to try these 17”rims with 265/65/17 tires, stock suspension. This combo should be the closest match to the original wheel and tire set. We’ll see what happens

Haha glad to help! Seriously makes it feel like a new car again🙌

Could be, what’s your RPM now? This isn’t gonna be a fix for low RPM tho…

Yes, '01-'02 had an updated throttle body where the other cable became electronically controlled. Don't worry about the other cable (since you don't have it ha:)

All the electronics for my headlights came from BXbuilt. They’re amazing!

Beginning of the video

Try it out! Result speaks for itself;)

Ha, thanks! I knew that didn't sounds rightXD

I have a Bilstein/Toytec 3inch lift all around. I'll have more info on it in a future video;)

Sounds like you got an 01-02. Should be a similar process

No locktite needed in my case.

Interesting you say that. Wouldn't a new (shorter) cable have the exact same effect?

@@PartimeOverland Still an old and stretched cable. If you ever get a chance to drive a low mile 4Runner you'll see how there's no play in the gas pedal. Also pedal feel. Squirt some silicone spray into the boot of your cable. They usually become much smoother. Still no comparison to a fresh cable, but this is another wear item. The kickdown adjustment needs to be "just right" to feel the way Toyota designed it.

Partime Overland you might find this video helpful too. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7B6f9Vel7i0c4E.html

Cool little tip. Possibly some tradeoff vs a new cable (just put it in a "to buy" list in the meantime!) as other mentioned, but in an old rig little tricks like this can really make them feel nicer. 👍

Cheers mate:)

Hahaha extra 50hp at least;)

@@PartimeOverland yip, mad more horsepower and you beat everyone off the line. Lol

No, it is extra power. If you don't have the full range of motion of the throttle body then there is that last part of the power band that is not being used. So adding that back gives you extra power. Anyway. appreciate your words of wisdom, mister keyboard warrior:)

Ya i agree with Cesar. Unless you are bottoming on floor with pedal, its not more power just quicker response. It's just the input the engine responds to the input.

It's more available power that you couldn't use since there was slack in the cable total hp of the 4runner stays the same

I agree 100% with you. I have 2 3rd gen 4runners with the 3.4 and I've made the same adjustments. MORE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS WHAT YOU GET. IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANYMORE HORSEPOWER WHATSOEVER!!

Did the same to my 2002 Ford F-150…definitely improves the acceleration!!!

Might be, but it makes a hell of a difference anyhow:)
