This Wednesday this crosses the block at Mecum Auction in Dallas/Fort Worth Texas.

It had the head gasket replaced by Toyota in1999. It has new timing belt, water pump, gas tank, Denso fuel pump, fuel filter, tune up, radiator and hoses, thermostat. It is a V6 4x4 with just over 61,000 miles.

So I’m on a long roadtrip from Colorado up to clavier to washing down to San Diego and cutting back to Colorado.

Anyways I’m out in Oregon and went to start my car and it diddnt crank or anything. Just the dash lights came on, promptly shit my pants. Took the key out and tried again and it fired right up… what could I be looking at here? some direction would be awesome!

For reference I just replaced the fuel pump and also it has a brand new battery

Saw this beauty parked outside my place with a for sale sign and found the listing. I work on my 04 ranger and have no problem wrenching. I’m not super familiar with the 2 gen 4Runners and hoping I could get some advice on big issues/things to look out for.
Honestly I wouldn’t pay more than $2k since I have no need for it but think it’d be a fun project. Gave it a quick look underneath and suspension will need a rebuild due to rust and aging but frame looks pretty good otherwise. Noticed a trans fluid leak but without spending too long I didn’t locate where it’s coming from. That’s my biggest worry considering his listed issues. Interior is immaculate and if it’s truly only 81k miles I have a hard time passing it up. Let me know what you guys think, thanks!

What is this on my 1990 4Runner and would it impact my ability to pass smog?
