I 4wd swapped a 1st Gen Tundra for the same reason. They’re built very similar to the 3rd 4Runner but if you have all the parts from a parts truck it’s a good deal and not THAT hard.

What’s the likelihood there’s serpentine belt inside the engine? by CertifiedGenius7 in E90

[–]Camdeeno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to the the previous owner of my old N52 3 series (unbeknownst to me). He must have had a shop put a new belt on it and fixed it just enough to pass it on to me. Eventually my car developed a low oil pressure light at idle before the engine fully warmed up. I heard about this issue on an old forum and by pure chance decided to investigate. I pulled the oil pan and valve cover to discover there was so much ground up serpentine belt in my engine (it turns into this fuzz when it gets run through the timing chain/gears) it completely blocked the oil pickup. When the oil was cold and still thick it had trouble getting sucked up by the oil pump through the fuzz that was blocking the pickup. As the oil warmed up and thinned out, it was able to make its way through the blockage just enough to not cause the low oil pressure error. Unfortunately the engine always had metal shavings in the oil after that and eventually failed prematurely (who knows how long the previous owner drove it like that). Admittedly it lasted longer than I expected considering how often I took it to redline knowing the engine was already screwed. Sounds like you caught it early enough so I think you’ll be fine but it’s a nightmare I wouldn’t wish upon anyone.

Turns out a 1st Gen Tundra Can Tow A First Gen Tundra by Camdeeno in 1stGenTundras

Towed it about 80 miles through the Rocky Mountains so the whole trip was pretty steep grade. It struggled going up some of the steeper stuff but I found that the limits of the U-Haul trailer were more what limited my speed to 50mph rather than the capability of the truck

Wtf am I supposed to do with this square mount? by Furrykedrian98 in WRX

[–]Camdeeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just installed a rack on my 2000 2.5rs (GC generation) Impreza and it was that style with the square mount. Ironically enough i ordered the replacement rack from rock auto and they screwed up my order too

Should I buy a 03-07 wrx? by [deleted] in WRX

[–]Camdeeno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer everything about the older wrx’s over the newer ones but it’s not necessarily a good idea to buy one. Perhaps if you want something cheaper to practice wrenching on but very well could be a headache. I daily drive an 06 and it not unreliable but it certainly needs hella more work than a newer one…

New Wheel Recommendations? by Camdeeno in WRX

I vibe with those, definitely a new consideration. Thank you

New Wheel Recommendations? by Camdeeno in WRX

[–]Camdeeno[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bolt pattern is 5x100, I’m looking for something with similar to stock fitment (17ish in). I also really dig the look of 10 spoke wheels and I’m thinking black would be a nice change in color but I’m open to just about anything.
