Today I'm reassembling the entire truck (except for a few parts I'm still waiting on.) First I install everything into the engine bay that sits behind the engine. Then I finished the interior. Next, I called Mikey ‪@theshopspot9053‬ over to help me reinstall the 20R engine. Then, I reinstalled the rest of the accessories and parts into the engine bay, along with the doors, fenders, and front end. I had to adjust the torsion bars to raise the front end up 1". And finally, I had to slightly modify the upper control arms to clear the long sliders on the top of the 1-ton brake calipers.

Huge progress in this update. It takes forever to prep and paint all the little bits before reassembly. I was sorta keeping apace with my restoration, but you pulled way into the lead! Guess I better get back out into the garage... Hope to see a driving video soon.

Hey, just wanted to say I've used a couple of your older videos to build my 86 4Runner(dash disassembly vid helped a ton) and I also wanted to ask if you know of any places that would sell a brown center console(the one that has a rear heater.) I've tried eBay but nothing in the color I need.

@6thGearGarage 3 месяца назад

Ebay is a good place to look, but they're hard to come by. Your best bet would be someone parting out a 4runner with brown interior.

How can the booster hold vacuum without a master installed?

@6thGearGarage 3 месяца назад

The master bolts to the booster, but they don't share any kind of vacuum. The vacuum is self contained in the booster. The booster has a rubber diaphragm inside that uses engine vacuum to make it easier to press the brakes.

@@jpicard81 I'd start with the relay. It's under the dash, a few inches left of the column. I don't know about 1990, but on the 80's trucks the turn signals work through the hazard switch. If the switch is unplugged, then there is no turn signal. Since your hazard doesn't flash, I wonder if that's the problem? Most likely relay though.

@@84yota For the white engine bay I use ERA Paint 2k engine paint. It's expensive but well worth it. I used their 2k clear on top of it. I also used ERA Paints 2k engine on the blue block. Everything else in the engine bay like the accessories were all Duplicolor or VHT engine paint. The primer was all Duplicolor Self Etching, and aome Engine and Filler primers too.
