I really want to put a LFA/IS F Sport gauge cluster in the 4Runner.

I want your 4Ruuner

I just wish my speedometer and odometer worked.

I hate how slow and awful on gas it is, but I've slowly grown to like it. And on a side note I also kinda want a TBSS.

The whole cluster is $2,300 apparently. And you’d have to figure out how to change the redline and other things.

Ask Toyota for lolz.

Like I said - I'll never be able too but it would sure be cool.

Mine didn’t work either on my ‘89 pickup.

Nope. I have to use my phone’s GPS. They haven’t for like 2 years.

What bothers me most is that I know what the problem is, I have the part for it, and I had started to fix it, but then the boot on the old sensor snapped off in to the trans. So what should have taken me like 30 minutes tops, now requires me dropping the transmission.

That seriously sucks man. What happened to make them not work anymore?

Transmission Speed Sensor, read my full reply to Zoidberg on why it pisses me off. It’s also why I won’t fix it. Plus, I’m getting a new daily driver soon enough, so for a weekend vehicle it’s less of a big deal.

$3,500 can get you a mint 2003 TrailBlazer that can be a clean slate for an LS swap. RWD, too.

Is yours the 22RE or the 3.Slow?

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Jack Does Cars
04/03/2016 at 11:54

Not OP, but it’s a 3VZE. It’s really not that bad of an engine once the gaskets have been replaced correctly. Plus, I’d much rather have it than an engine that barely breaks 100 hp in a 4000 lbs SUV.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo

I just use Waze.

Yeah that sucks but good thing you aren't gonna have to DD it soon.

3.slow thank God. I probably would've destroyed it out of rage if it had the 22. And I've seen TBSSs on CL for $7500ish in decent shape.

GVWR sticker says 5400. What's up with that?

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Jack Does Cars
04/03/2016 at 11:59

It’s really not bad once you get used to it. I honestly think the slowness makes you a better driver, because it teaches you patience and situational awareness.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > deprecated account
04/03/2016 at 11:59

Weight plus payload, maybe?

Jack Does Cars > deprecated account
04/03/2016 at 12:00

$7,500? There has got to be something wrong.

deprecated account > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
04/03/2016 at 12:01

Maybe? I dunno. Another annoying thing is that the suspension sag messes up my fuel level sensor so I could have more than a gallon left and my light comes on. My dad doesn't want to deal with it though.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > deprecated account
04/03/2016 at 12:01

I really am going to miss not having to swerve for shit though, and the whole “0 Fucks Given” driving style it allows. I did very much enjoy my 75 miles of wasting gas, and hopping puddles yesterday.

Kinja'd!!!

Good point. There’s just no 4Runner’s that I can afford around me, and that super sucks. Like, I can find Pathfinder’s all day, but do I *really* want one?

deprecated account > Jack Does Cars
04/03/2016 at 12:02

Thats the lowest I've seen for one. And it's Memphis so who knows it could be stolen.

deprecated account > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies

Absolutely. It is certainly nice to have when you need it.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Jack Does Cars
04/03/2016 at 12:04

I don’t know about Pathfinders, but if you can find a good 2nd gen for cheap, I would recommend one if you are aware that you need a rainy day fund for head gaskets. Unless they have receipts for the repair that includes new heads or at least resurfaced heads.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > deprecated account
04/03/2016 at 12:05

I’ve never thought of that being a problem lol. At least it’s not the other way around.

deprecated account > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
04/03/2016 at 12:06

That would be bad. Considering a gallon only lasts me about ten miles anyway, I guess it could be worse.

Jack Does Cars > deprecated account

They’re cheap in Seattle, and my father, who lives out there, would ship a vehicle out for me.

Jack Does Cars > deprecated account

Absolute tops $4,500, if I can pull from others.

Huh, I haven’t seen the black ‘95. That would be killer.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Jack Does Cars
04/03/2016 at 12:20

If go look for one, be sure to check the coolant and oil. Also, inquire about the head gaskets, but at those miles I’m 95% sure they’ve been done before.

deprecated account > Jack Does Cars
04/03/2016 at 12:20

That could probably buy you a pretty decent 3rd-gen 4Runner, maybe a nice gen-2, and almost definitely a gen-2 Trooper. However the Trooper might be kinda hard to find. But be wary with those gen-2 troopers; they’re very prone to rolling.

Jack Does Cars > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
04/03/2016 at 12:26

Does the 3.0 have cooling issues?

Jack Does Cars > deprecated account
04/03/2016 at 12:28

I like to live life on the edge, so rolling is OK. It’s impossible to find a 4WD gen-3 4Runner (what I really want) in my price range but it isn’t impossible. Overall, 4Runners don’t go cheap in Raleigh.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Jack Does Cars
04/03/2016 at 12:29

From the factory they have terribly weak head gaskets, so anything wrong with the cooling will blow the factory ones. There isn’t really anything wrong with their factory cooling systems, but an older vehicle will need to have some things replaced. Now that mine has been fixed, I can keep my foot on the floor for hours(that pretty much sums up interstate driving with it being lifted) without the temp even considering getting warm.

Look around East TN and I'm sure you'll find a few for a good price. And as a bonus if you go buy one, you get to drive through the Smokies!

Jack Does Cars > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
04/03/2016 at 12:36

Interesting. I probably wouldn’t lift mine if I purchased one, but at the same time I would not count it out.

Jack Does Cars > deprecated account
04/03/2016 at 12:37

The only downside is that I’ll have to be in East TN for at least 24 hours.

Just FYI, you can fit 33" tires at stock height, as long as they are relatively narrow.
