Hello,
I took my 1985 4runner to a body shop to trim the rear fenders. while they had it they were going to do some work on the front wheel openings as well. While I had the front fenders off I noticed several cracks on the inner fender from years of heavy rock crawling use. They were going to weld those up.

Here is my problem though...... For more tire clearance at the front, he said he would heat up the body seam at the rear of the front wheel opening and hammer it down flat. When I went to pick it up, it turns out he cut the body seam off instead. He claims he left about 3/16" of seam and hammered it down flat. I can't see what was done because it is all covered in seam sealer. My concern is that if he cut most of that seam out then the spot welds that held it together are gone and I'm going to have trouble with this area coming apart. Are my worries justified? or can this seam be cut out with no problems. Again, he claims he left about 3/16" and hammered it down?????
Thanks.

i have an 89 toyota pickup,v6.ive put three clutch master cylinders on it in the last year.the first two lasted a few months then the pedal went to the floor.the third,now in my truck,is leaking out the back into my floor.anyone know what my problem could be?cheap parts,something else?

I'm new to this forum and new to Toyota 4 runner. My daughter's 99 4runner Under Engine Cover has 4 bolts. I've removed all bolts but cannot understand why the cover will not drop. It feels like it has more bolts. Any suggestions. Manual does not give me any answers.

i got new steel brake lines for my rear brakes and they are already bent like the old ones but i am having trouble tightening the fittings in..how tight do they need to be? and do they need to be screwed in all the way? i remember them being pretty secure before

Looking to get a front bumper for my 98 4runner. Now I obviously want some protection from the elements, another concern around here is deer. How do the tube type bumpers compare in terms of protection to plate?

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere on here before, but I can't seem to find anything on it.

So, my question is: Are the rear axle shafts in a 90-95 4Runner and the rear axle shafts in a 86-95 pickup the same? Can I use 4Runner axle shafts in a pickup rear housing?

In your opinion what would make the best seal on a 22re timing cover,Toyota FIPG or the type (paper felt cork etc) that comes with a timing kit.Thanks

Hi folks, I'm new to this forum. I've been searching for 3 days and haven't found any posts with the same exact issue as mine so I thought I'd put it up and see if anyone can help.

I've had my 4Rnr for about 3 months without any major issues. It's a 1999, 3.4L 2WD Automatic. It has 209,000 miles on it and about 3 weeks ago I used it to move from Texas to Colorado, pulling a trailer. Half way through the trip the fuel gauge seemed to stop going below half a tank (except when you power off the vehicle, then it goes to E).

I haven't had any major issues with it and just fill up ever 220 miles or so. Then about a week ago I was doing some major city driving, stop and go traffic, running around town. At one point I got in and started the truck and it started up and then started sputtering and died, like it had run out of gas. I tried for several minutes to restart but it wouldn't. I had only gone 116 miles since filling up and it showed "half a tank". Thinking I had a fuel leak or something, I walked to the gas station and bought a gallon of gas and came back. Took about 20 minutes. I tried the truck again before putting gas in and it wouldn't start. I put the gallon of gas in and it started right up. I drove straight to the station and filled up, it ONLY took 7 gallons.

Thinking maybe something was loose in the tank, I kept a spare gallon of gas in the vehicle in case it happens again. Drove all week no problem. Then day before yesterday filled up again and drove from Denver to Colorado Springs and back. Highway, city driving, stop and go traffic. Got back to town no problem. At 156 miles, showing "Half a tank," I was stopped at a light. As I started to go, it stalled in the middle of the intersection and wouldn't restart. Pushed it off the road, but had my spare gallon. I put the gallon of gas in but this time it wouldn't restart. Tried several times and nothing. Waited about 5 minutes and tried again, it started right up. Took it to the gas station to fill up, 8 gallons.

When it stalls, I still have all the power available (lights, windows, radio, etc.) It turns over and cranks like out of gas. I do not have a check engine light coming on or anything. Been driving the past two days without any problems, though getting close to the half tank mark. Any ideas what this might be? :dunno:

In your opinion what's better and what would you choose?

Just say its behind a 1995 T100 3.4 DOHC
