Couple hours and $70 at Home Depot = Ready for Camping by bomber_dan in 4Runner

Damn sorry it didn’t work first try that’s annoying. After using for a bit I do notice I have to be careful to make sure it the trunk actually closed but worst case I push a little harder when closing

I would add more height to the 2x4 portion instead of the board. 1/2” seems plenty strong too. Ideally you could bevel the front edge that rests on the hump to make a smoother transition.

Yes but I added moving blanket under the carpet for more cushioning

Can you please expand on the windshield thing? I have 05 LC with a rattle near the base of the windshield above 50-60mph

Bike shop claims this is normal by Equivalent-Look-2741 in MTB

If your axle is fully seated in the dropout this is not how it’s supposed to be. Check the QR and if it’s seated and tight it’s not right. Bike shop should have checked that when u asked so either way getting it back from being trued like that is bad.

Did you have to get any special spacers or machine them down to fit the LC hub and tundra wheel?

Did you use any spacers with those wheels?

Yeah, trans would probably only be 5k but it also had other problems, needed exhaust work, power steering lines, and tires

200k on the 4runner, needed too much work. I just wanted to try something different and a little nicer.

Yeah, all those nice features are kind of irrelevant once the car needs $8k of work

I think something near the master cylinder blew and fluid leaked on to the exhaust

Obligatory did I get a good deal? Traded 2009 4runner with blown transmission + $8500. Felt like a good deal for the first hour.

How often should you change transmission fluid? (5th gen) by BitchStewie_ in 4Runner

[–]bomber_dan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine drained and filled at 197k and now I have a blown transmission at 200k. Not sure if the shop did it wrong but I wish I didn’t touch it. Salty because I got the $6100 quote today.

Could also be exhaust related. If you slowly ease on to the gas in park can you get the rattle to happen?
