I have the exact same just in blue! Torn driver seat with the same 2 rips ha

Where if you know how find all coolant hoses?

thank you for making these videos! im currently in the process of getting my 93 4ruuner back on the trails!

Sun West 22re wasn't great. Head gasket at 12k, they don't even torque the head down. Shipping with it loose is a bad idea

bro really have my dream car 😩

I'm about 7000 miles on a rebuilt top-bottom 3VZE (and 5dp manual stock orig 150R) in my 4Runner and it took them 1 year during covid. Parts supply issues. New pistons, cams & heads. These engines like conventional oil with elevated zddp in them, (bucket shims) and follow the factory Toy manual. I'm using 10w40. Prior to rebuild, there was cam wear using off-shelf oils. And of course Genuine Toyota red coolant. I will fiberglass wrap my crossover pipe like you did. Only use Denso genuine engine components from authorized denso dealers. I am the second owner of mine since 31 years ago. Mine has sentimental value as it has saved me during my travels into Mexico, many trips were in excess of 600 miles. Once I pulled a Van on a dolly roughly 400 miles back from Mexico. (prior to the rebuild) which did stress the drive train /tranny but no damage.

Thanks for sharing about being scam for many months.

🔥🔥🔥

Mmm those are some good shots right there

Your videos sent me to Sunwest to put a motor in my 93 T100. I let them know I found them through your videos. I can second I am very happy with my choice. Truck runs great! It's just a commuter that's a reminder of a simpler time.

Shit I’ve got 2 of these exact 4Runners and one with over 200whp 3.0 that I built. We have no smog here though. Deffintly upgrade your tank to rail fuel line to -6 a thru a washable high flow filter on the fram somewhere. That alone blew my Mine how much power I gained along with bigger injectors. And yes it is the exhaust that does it but they have a kit on eBay o straight 2.5inch headers is what they call it but it seems to help. I’ve tried everything except the turbo so far but the did have a turbo charged version so the block is pretty tuff.

Thank you for sharing your experience. That’s horrible. Thank you for the info. We just did a 3.0 build ourselves. I’ll help share your video so other don’t get scammed. 😎🤘

So cool I need it for my 93. Any brand info?

Nice! I’m restoring a 1994! It’s so refreshing to see people love these 2nd gens as much as me. It’s my preferred year mostly for the tailgate but the body is timeless

Dude dodge off road did the same thing to me! It wasn’t 3GS but it sucked

With the cost of used cars these days, you got yourself a good reliable truck.

Great content! Good luck on the channel. Subscribed

Nice build video, do you have any idea what size those stock rail nuts are. I plan on doing the same thing youre doing but i want to add to the existing rail for extra support.

Man that idea of adding the angle iron is great! Bet it makes it quite a bit stronger

Nice work bro. I am looking at getting a 2nd gen myself

My engine was a basket case too. PRO TIP !...use multiple colored zip ties for vacuum lines. One on the hose, and one where it hoes. Double up when color options run out. This will help later if you have to remove them again.

I'm glad I found this because I've looked at the Raptor many times. Wow !

This video made me contact Sunwest Automotive on a Saturday night. They reaxthed out Monday morning. I called and talked with them, placed my order monday night over the phone. Will report back later. I almost reached out to these other vendors myself and your video is the whole reason i went with Sunwest.

Thank You for the Shout Out, Nick! We appreciate your business! Because of this video, we just had another customer purchase a 3.0L today! The gift that keeps on giving. Glad to hear we got you back on the road and hope everything was resolved with the cc company and getting your funds back!

I got the aisin clutch kit for $40 “used” on Amazon but it a brand new

What is ur idle rpm?

Pull ur acs radiator and condenser thank me later replace ur fan clutch also 😉

Got a jdm with 210 psi comprsssion in all 6 showing up this week

Should have deleted the crossover imo

I bought a jdm with 210 psi in all 6 for 2300 to my door and 60k that’s how u get a swap done cheap

Great job! A friend of mine created a 2/3 roof rack for my 2nd Generation 4Runner, which I use to mount my pop-up rooftop tent. I do regret not convincing him to make it the full length, but it still looks fantastic. Thank you for your excellent work and keep it up!.

glad i found your channel! on my 2x 2nd gen 4runner build and always looking for their content on here, great stuff

Thx for sharing your story, fortunately you paid with a credit card!!lOmg my story is so similar to yours, except the Raptor engines jerk. I feel super lucky that for some reason when I was looking at Oregon engines it didn’t quite Smell right . Possibly because cheapest atm when I was shopping for my 22RE long block. Some other mechanic took my milkshaked engine apart at least a yr before I ended up ordering my engine from Sunwest, and it was like an explosion of parts in NO sort of labeling or organization…

The music 👌

Thanks for adding this video man congrats on your rig looking good 👍. I was looking at that Raptor motor myself and was convinced on buying it in the near future for mine as well. With your hw on them I'll look for something else thanks again for the video man

My Father -In -Law gave me his 1992 Toyota SR5 3.0 / 4 WD EXTENDED Cab this past Christmas… It has 119,000 miles on it and I’ve changed all tires…timing belt…all gear oils…changed oil and filter…new red coolant …new battery…all shocks… I’ve installed a Bar light on the bed rail…New lights on the Brush guard…Lubricated Drive Shaft… Fun to do…About to change all front suspension parts…( Pittman arm…idler arm…inner and outer tie rod ends….upper and lower ball joints …front suspension shock..etc…

amigo- outstanding travelvlog- adios. 😯

Thanks!

Hey buddy, your videos are spot on and loving all the info. I am in the finishing stages of finishing up my 4runner. Piece of serious advice. PUT THE SHROUD ON for the radiator if you haven't already. Not having it is a guarantee on your cooling system failing and I'd hate to see any damage done to what is proving to be a solid build effort. Keep up the amazing work bud. Your videos are showing me how to do more of my own maintenace. Some of the best I have found on the internet so far. :D

Motors are electrical....Engines are mechanical...

Dude, no one needs that sorta poopfest, glad you got past it.

I bought my 93 in California and towed it back here to Tennessee you guys definitely have solid trucks there

I actually cleared all the carpet and insulation out of mine and used bedliner in it much easier to clean if something spills or im hauling something

Loving the vids on this truck

I have this exact same model 4runner definitely a fun project

You can fit so much inside those rear panels on the back end, I got recovery gear to camp showers n soap inside mine.😅 mines rolling bare metal rear end yours is so oooo La La compared to mine right now.. I got 4wd seat covers to not deal with what’s underneath 😅😅😅 31 years of .. idk.

3.4 swap

Sick. Just finished the LC vacuum lines on my 1990. Then the valve cover gasket. Then anything old and plastic and broken under the hood. Took off the bumpers, running boards, and rear bumper returns, cleaned and treated the inside and polished the outside. Spring cleaning, 2nd gen-style. #laboroflove

Great job man and yeah its hard finding roofracks for that 4runner gen
