Rear Cargo Sleeper Storage System Updated Version! Toyota 4Runner
I was never aware of this issue until it happened to me in my 97 Tacoma. Just turned into a parking lot and Thump. I also have a 97 4Runner and my wife drives a 2000 4Runner. I guess I’m going to do this repair on two more vehicles.
Great video going to try replacing my upper ball joints this weekend what is the model number on the ball joint service kit by OTC
You are the MVP of 2024. This worked 💪🏾 Thanks #partywithdjpapi
Hi and thanks ! I've watched almost all your videos ,mine is a 2000 sr5 awd 3.4l ( i think is the same as yours) im looking everywhere to know and learn how i check the transmission fluid ,, haven't have the luck to find a video specifically on how you check the level on those trucks. Please, a little help
ok i got it ,, warm , SHIFT ALL GEARS and in P should be between the HOT area , LEVEL GROUND ,,
@julioserna5659 it’s at the end of my video on how to check it per the factory service manual.
@PhoRunner sorry a little busy when watching it ,, watch it again later , so grateful for your reply!
No problem!!!
Accidentally got engine oil in this power steering fluid reservoir. Is this a problem that needs an urgent flush?
Listen to the steering. If not noisy, probably not urgent. I wouldn’t fret about it but I have another video on how to flush it new!
Hey @phorunner, you knoe of a good toyota mechanic in the fresno area?
Join 559yotas on Facebook. Lots of local guys that do great work
This is one of the most frustrating mechanical jobs I’ve ever done and I’ve swapped a 5vz. Pay someone to do this
Maybe engine work is your calling!! A 5vz swap is not easy!
How are tou supporting the weight on the roof
It sits on the factory rail(not cross bars)
@@PhoRunner I know but those have a weight limit usually less than your weight and tent weight....
Only the crossbars are rated. The side rails aren’t rated at all. Only Toyota will know but me and my 2 little boys sleep in it and haven’t noticed any issues.
I might add that the Sherpa rack and many other racks mount to the same location. It’s a structural part of the vehicle.
@@HarietSims let me know when you find out what it is
Make sure the cap is not hot before you open it.........HMMMM.....REALLY?😮
Who knows who’s watching lol gotta make sure the kids don’t get burned
Thank you!
The canvas attachment is GENIUS!
I think the new ones come with the pressure switch. I'm guessing i just need to replace the cheap rubber hose with a better quality one?
Thank you for sharing this video cause I’m about to change the water pump on my son civic
Hey can I do this with a vacuum bleeder
There are kits for this yes
@PhoRunner did u have the key in the on position? I'm doing the tbu and I was gonna use a vacuum bleeder from harbor freight. But found your vid instead. Your video looks alot easier
@Cmc-365 for a 99, no key needed. For newer 4Runners, you will need an additional step which requires the key. You can tell if you need this by looking at your reservoir. There will be electrical connector going to it.
@PhoRunner ya I have the connector so turn key to on the. Follow your steps?
Why is it impossible to get the bottle jack on th uca..
Hmmm did you try exactly what I did?
@@PhoRunner I wish I could take a picture, I took off the wheel and the bottle jack gap is small asf
@@PhoRunner now I think the top of the bottle jack is bent and broke FML
Your spring is likely too long and not correct for the vehicle. Or there is too much preload compressing the spring
@@PhoRunner it’s the 6112
Some how I always find myself watching your vids 😂. They are great thanks!
Thanks bro. I try to make it easy and get to the point lol. Maybe a few jokes lol
@@PhoRunner Everything about your videos I love . Quick and simply and yes I enjoy the jokes too😂
Is this the same for a manual transmission?
I do not know this answer
It's funny how the 1st gen Sequoia and 3rd gen 4runner are Similar in structure
Great video. Very informative. Great videography
Good video. Can you put the year model of the car in the tiltle ? Thanks .
Does this apply to the 99 models with abs ?
Mine is a 99 with abs so yes
Hey pho, do you have the installation video on your 3rd Gen 4Runner Rear Cargo Accessories Panel (power outlets)?thanks for all your help and Videos
I don’t but I just ran a wire straight back there from the battery. Use the access hole under driver foot well, pass along back of radio via carpet, then along the door trim. Just the power wire. Ground can use something metal in back.
I’ve got an ‘05 with 167k on it. I purchased a year ago and don’t know the last time it was changed. I’ve noticed lately getting out of park can feel a little tough at times, like when parked on an incline. Hopefully a drain and fill with new fluid will help. Thank you for the video!
Might need to grease the driveshaft perhaps. Also pull the ebrake when parked on hills.
Excellent, thank you, leaving for vacation and the air went out .... this relay fixed it.....
Have a nice vacation!!!
Ok, so no kidding? I don't have to undo 10 of the 3/8 bolts, find a new gasket, reinstall, tighten those 10 bolts in criss-cross pattern to spec? It really is this ez?? Shoulda given up on Jeeps a loooong time ago.
Lol. It is that easy… but you Might have rust problems though with yotas lol
@@PhoRunner would you mind doing video on fixing the IAC? There's others out there, but your videos are so straightforward it makes the project so much easier.
@SimpleBelieverInChrist It’s too hot in my garage to film (90-100F). But just take it apart and carb cleaner. The hoses can be a painnn to reach to get it back on
@@PhoRunner ok, last thing- I have two v's that I think you would appreciate. Can't say more or I get dinged
Call Marlin Crawler before ordering the bearing kit. I ordered online and it took 4 days for them to tell me they have zero in stock. 1AAuto has the bearing and seals but the kit doesn't have the c-clip or o-ring. Great video. I appreciate Timmy's longer version but this is great as a review of the steps
Hello, I recently purchased a 98 4runner and I have watched a lot of of your videos. Wanted to know if there is anything that can be done about the radio location. Like you said on this video, it's too low to look at while driving. Is it possible to bring it up a little bit higher?
Good video. Where did you get the press Plates from
Amazon
Brake cleaner on paint? Not!
Thank you so much for this. The fuse cost me $10 on Amazon and 5 mins to replace if that! AC back to a steady cold flow. Amazing!!!
Awesome
I live in Washington where it gets to -20F and the hottest it gets in the summer is 109F. I’m unsure if I should bypass the radiator or not? I’m not towing but I do travel a lot and go up steep inclines for long periods of time. Any suggestions?
Will this work for a 2003 body style limited edition
Proud owner of a 97 4Runner. Your videos are informative and easy to follow. Liked and subscribed!!
Thanks 👍
What if you can’t get the fill plug off?
Don’t change the oil. The oil last pretty long so just leave it til it leaks haha
Will this work for a tundra too?
It should since the relays are similar if not identical.
@@PhoRunner ill give it a shot. Thanks!
Great video help out a lot! Just installed the Atoto S8 but I have a question, is anyone dealing with the antenna going up as soon as the accessories is on and it won’t go back down even when on BT option or even when the unit is manually turned off/rest mode? Please help! Thanks
Is your antenna going out? I have another video on it. The Atoto will extend the antenna when unit is on even if not used. But once off, should retract if things are working properly.
I’m on my 4th cam belt, tensioner, water pump, and valve adjustment on my 00 Civic Si EM1. I use the special 19mm extra heavy duty socket, and a Worx Nitro 20V 1400ft/lb impact gun, and the crank bolt loosens no problem at all. It also helps to spray WD40 around the head of the crank bolt, and let it soak in for an hour prior to putting the impact gun on it.
Thank you, well done
Didn't this guy get his 4runner stolen? I forgot about that video
It was an April fools joke….
Oh I didn’t watch that far
Thanks!
Thanks for this!
Yup! Toyota Technician of 17 years and I needed this video to fix a customers car. 🤦🏻♂️
Nice brother!!
Great video. Weekend project found
Great video! Will this recall kit fit the 1995/1996 Tacoma?
No since the tie rods are different size
How do you feel about running the Trd wheels with 285s? I’ve been told that I can’t run a 7” wheel . Are you running a spacer ? I’m trying to run this set up with a 285/70/17 . I just unsure how to get the wheels to fit correctly.
Been doing it for years now and it is fine. It’s a very nice fit with my 285 km3
did you have to run spacer ? if so what size ?
@lavaughncunningham186 no spacer. Just got aftermarket uca.
A word about Craftsman Tools, I bought a set when I was sixteen years old and still use them today. Over the years I have replaced 1 broken ratchet (FREE) and 3 or 4 screwdrivers (abused by me and again for FREE). These tools got used and abused and are still going strong after over 54 years!!!
What kind of grease are you using on the rubber for the axle seal?
Gear oil will be fine but I used some multipurpose here
Thnx!
I luv ur videos!!!!
"It ain't got no gas in it." Lmao
Why dont you use oem toyota fluid!???
You are wonderful bossman I appreciate you?
You are most welcome sir!
