I've had 27 4runners and 9 of them have been second gens with the 3vz 3.0, they have been as GOOD and bulletproof as my 5VZs and 1GRs. I was also a Toyota technician. And i BEAT and abuse my 4runner 3.0s in the Arizona heat like none of you would comprehend

Thanks a lot bro for the good information to keep my Toyota 4Runner 1990 is very important for me 👍👍👍👍🇲🇽🇲🇽

Looks way better than mine does lol. I still love her though, I’m in the middle of a 3.4 swap. Im about to pull my interior to do a bunch of wiring.

I had a 95 4runner with the 3vze 3.slow v6, loved the vehicle but hated the engine, simply a dog of an engine, gutless and problematic, you never knew what it would run or go like from day to day, that was many years ago and ironically I miss it, had many different 4wd's since and now have a 94 fzj80 landcruiser, absolutely love love this thing, it's so sweet and cool at the same time 😊

The 3.0 is looking really good right now with these new Toyota Tacoma's!

Just tried your advice and bam! no issues....thanks!

Awesome!!!

Thanks dude. Yeah she's a bit sticky

Any tips on how to get in the vehicle if all my door handles are like this? Someone tried breaking in my 92 4runner. I tried googling, but it is failing me.

I would like to carry out some work on my 4runner but I'm afraid for my safety... being from 1990 it may contain asbestos, if so, where. Thank you

May nature bless.

So in stock form, 2wd just disengages the transfer case but not the hubs? Am I understanding that right?

So, your old website is now Chinese porn. Do you still sell these things?

I have 2nd Gen 1990 4WD v6 3.0 - 2nd owner (since 1994) 247K - head just blew ( was replaced in 98' on recall, and minor overhaul in 2010) It is shot, milkshake. Mechanic suggest engine swap ( rather than fix Head again) I have engine lined up (167K) Any advice? Mahalo!

Thanks man for the awesome video totally helped me out 💯

Nice vid and channel. Thanks for the effort. I recently did over 3000 miles from Oregon to Southern Baja and back in my '92. Stock engine but lifted w/315/75R16 tires. No issues whatsoever and I definitely don't maintain mine as well as yours. Currenty got some good oil leaks a I need to deal with. I am just shy of 200K miles. Keep it up the videos! Thanks.🤙

How do you clean ceiling of the vehicle??

Man if I was Mora I would buy your invention at any cost. Awesome. Genius 🔪

So my check engine light doesn’t come on right away. I can turn it on and drive for a couple of minutes with to driving smooth. But after a few minutes my check engine light comes on and I can feel a difference. So my question is, since the check engine light doesn’t come on right when I start it, will the code still pop up if I did this trick?

I am still driving my 92 pick up with a 3vze and the thing works!

i have a 93 T100 with 246K and a 94 4Runner with 317K.. both are 3.0's

You are the man i need to speak to. I took my 93 Warrior with the 3vze to mechanic to replace valve cover gasket. He then discovers my driver side camshaft has wear on one lobe. His price for valve cover gaskets, camshaft install, and water pump/timing belt is $2700! I know i can do it all myself except the camshaft. Is it that difficult to change out? Can i just drop the new one in place of the old? Also i assume the valves will need to be adjusted after new cam is in right? I was even told the heads must come off to install new camshafts.

Hey I didn't watch the whole stream, did you enter the 4runner?

Hey brother, any way to get in contact with you? Via email or something. Got an odd ticking from my distributor on my 3.0 v6. Can't think of what it could be, seems to be orientated right

Thanks for the video! you gave me some hope to make it to college (3hr away). I currently have a (182,000) 95 4 runner with the 3.0 and I love the car design and everything. Am thinking about buying another car to make that trip. what do you recommend?

Did you get your headlights from sao?

Have a 89 and 94 both 250k , 22re and 3.0

I noticed my car had a surging high idle so I covered the hole in the video, and it would idle pretty low for 1 second and stall out. Would you suggest I turn that valve in?

Thanks for the video. This is the deepest I’ve ever dove into a motor. The hardest part of this whole job is removing the intake and egr. Especially on a 30 yr old truck. Wouldn’t have done it without this video!

Love the vids! And, more importantly, you sounds like a great dad!

Yes! Congratulations. Well maintained machine. I made the mistake of letting go of my 1st gen 7 years ago over an AC. 1 year ago I purchased a 2nd gen from a young guy who drove it into the ground, and parked it in a sheep pasture 4 years ago where it sat. I trailered it back home and began the process of bringing the beast back to life. Today, it runs very well. I have learned two things. 1. OEM parts only in hard to access parts of the engine and trans. 2. Working on these machines is about leverage, access, and factory specs. Your videos have provided insight and confidence. Thank you Sir!

Got a 3vze 95 4runner at 155k! Feels like a baby compared to yours

I'm starting to plan a similar trip in my 2009 4Runner SR5. It's got about 180,000 well maintained miles on it. I'll be going from New England across to the Plains, and then down thru the southwest to Arizona, across the south over to Florida, and then back up to home... care to share any tips or warnings on planning the trip?

What’s the hottest it drove in?

People complain about them because of the Head gasket issue and lack of power

I picked my 1995 second gen off eBay almost two years ago and flew up to Denver to pick it up and drove it back to Texas, 28 hours straight and it made it. It turned over 200K soon after getting back. I have had had the timing chain replaced twice since back however I fault the aftermarket parts and not the 4Runner.

My main car is a 91 Pontiac Bonneville I would drive it across country my Toyota 4Runner would not trust it. I don’t drive mine much drive it the other day and it wasn’t making a Geary noise. My wife had 356,000 on her 3.4 and it got totaled out she has a 96 Tacoma now with 245,000 not hating on 3.0 at all they are just a lot of work to keep running. I know you have done a ton to that thing.

I've had two 3.0's and still have one. Haven't had any issues.

Greetings from Brazil. I have a 2gen 93 diesel with 333k km.

Greatings from south Africa. We love your channel. Have more great road trips like this one, it's good for the heart n mind ❤

Great. My 92 needs some of this maintenance. Have your replaced your rear speakers. Looking at mine, seems like a lot of trim must be removed to access the speakers. Harbor freight!

anyone have a link to that first hose?

Thanks for the info! Is the connection in engine bay same for 1st gen? Can’t figure out where the two lines connect. Right now just two lines coming out of the firewall.

Mine was messed with, took me weeks to figure out and i made countless tools to readjust mine

I have had my toyota 30 yrs still running great after the shade tree guy fix it after Toyota of Roswell mess it up 280000 miles and still running great

Love it. I’m still rehabbing my 2002 Sonoma 4WD. How’s your ankle/heel doing?

So many miles driven on this trip and so many miles on the Gen2!! Nice trip and i have relations in chicago and new york. I take my 94' as far as J-tree, probably not new York. My Gen2 doesnt like rpms over 3000 and that's just around 65-70 mph. Im not so into being in the slower vehical crew on the interstate.😂 Manatees are so docile and friendly 😊, super cool experience!!

I was suspecting this was my case since I couldn’t find a vac leak and the rpm surges between 1200 and 850. Im going tighten my down see if that helps I also coudnt find that replacement only just an entire throttle for 200+

Wow this is awesome.... a true inspiration for all Gen2 owners

Love to see the 3.0 gettin it Like both of you Thanks Good luck
