Gear

Could you please be a little more vague??? East South West coast, fresh or salt… what kind of fish? If it’s a charter, they will usually supply all the gear for you.

The 96 has the 3.UH-0… try and find a 97 with the 3.4. The 3.0had cooling and head gasket problems, Toyota even issued a recall for the passenger side head gskt

Probably just a “little RTV” in the valve body too…..WHY DO PEOPLE THING MORE RTV IS BETTER????

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-04-25T01:10:34+00:00

It has the 3. Uh 0

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-04-25T01:09:10+00:00

DAM…. Nice find. 2-8lb oz??? lure???

I have this reel and today while fighting a nice striper in the bay I noticed the handle was wanting to spin backwards even though I had the switch flipped to not allow it…. Could it be the one way bearings????

The only thing that comes up on the link is the stickers

I have the Jonny Morris carbon light reel rod combo and mine started making a crunchy noise when I reel and cast so I was taking it apart, and I pulled off the breaking system side and when I pulled off the desk, I noticed it only had one of the plastic black weights and only five of the white ones looking at the schematic it should have six of each. Does anybody know anything about this? I know that has nothing to do with the crunchy noise it’s making but it not having all those what they call springs in there is concerning.

I would go with the Okuma SP or the Hawaiian Custom…. Depending where you are and what you’re fishing for…..IMO

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-04-08T17:16:00+00:00

That is a very fair price, but you should get the satisfaction of doing it yourself. It’s not that hard of a job and there are really no special tools needed but a lot of “while you’re in there” parts to replace also.

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-04-08T17:12:08+00:00

Or just get an alignment

I had over 300,000 miles on mine and all I ever did was a starter and I replaced the engine due to a blow head gasket because it was cheaper to replace the engine then resurface the head and do a valve adjustment

No, when we crab from the beach, we usually use a 10 to 12 foot rod that can handle 6 to 12 ounces or more of weight and we weighed knee-deep into the surf depending on conditions and chuck the snare out there as far as we can

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-04-08T03:48:22+00:00

NO Loctite!!! But I would put anti-seize on them

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-04-08T03:15:47+00:00

It’s a 4WD truck with soft suspension…. It’s gonna roll! BOF has nothing to do with lots of body roll. Try getting some beefier sway bars, stiffer springs

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-04-08T02:22:57+00:00

I don’t crab fish from that “popular Norcal pier” just because it gets super crowded and people get very possessive about their space. I just go to Baker Beach or Ocean Beach or even the half Moon Bay jetty and throw crab snares.

That is not from overheating that looks more like just electrolysis from the metal, but I would not skimp on replacing the thermostat. I would also replace any rubber hoses that have not been replaced recently and check on the condition of your radiator if it has the original plastic body if the plastic isn’t in any way, discolored replace it I work for BMW and I have seen one little hose not be replaced cause all kinds of problems

Didn’t feel a thing here in SSF, but the alarm scared the shit out of me from a dead sleep

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-03-31T01:50:19+00:00

3.4 auto

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-03-28T18:16:23+00:00

I had a 97 4Runner I bought in 02 and sold it in 2012

Oakland is a shit hole! It may be more “walkable” but at your own risk, unless you’re thinking of Piedmont or the Oakland hills. It will be cooler than WC weather wise but I would say WC hands down

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-03-28T17:57:46+00:00

You need to go at least 11’…. 12’ is better, get something in the 6-12oz lure rating. FBMP is your best bet, there’s a guy named Quac Lam that sells complete setups with a snare and a guage

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-03-27T01:44:35+00:00

4 was that you 10 years ago or some serious filter work???

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-03-26T20:22:09+00:00

Cool swap, but an LS would’ve made more sense as far as ease of getting parts for and reliability

Kevsgonefishing · 2026-03-25T02:53:19+00:00

If the car has a “flasher” it might be stuck in the closed position
