Toyota 4Runner FRAME SWAP (Headers/Exhaust, 3" Lift and New Frame) 4th Gen V8 Rusty & Rotted
You know the Toyota frame recall/warranty? Yeah, the 4Runners were never covered under that, so 4th gen 4runner and GX470 owners are left to fend for themselves when it comes to either frame rust repair or frame replacement. Here's the kicker: the frames are now DISCONTINUED, so salvage frames are becoming more of a hot commodity.
In this video, we find a clean salvage RWD V6 frame and convert it to a 4WD V8 frame.
We also throw on some Doug Thorley Catless Long Tube Headers on the 4.7L 2UZ-FE V8, as well as a 3" Rough Country lift and some other goodies.

Here we have a 3rd Generation 2009 Toyota Rav4 Base. It has the 2.5L 4 Cylinder 2AR-FE engine. We'll look at how well it's aged, how fast it will accelerate 0-60, how it performs off road. We'll also look at how reliable these cars are as a whole, and what to look out for in certain model years/configurations.

    Everything in this car is horrible, while changing serpentine belt, damn power steering pump pipe came off when i hit it with the wrench and spilled all the damn fluid out and cant go to work in the morning, timing belt is horrible, plastic comes off like nothing, it’s horrible. I had a 2005 expedition 5.4 before and had 251k miles and it had issues but nothing stressful as this accord junk. one time i tried to take off power steering tube and wouldn’t come off but wow on this accord it came off like nothing. 5 things just to take off an alternator is unbelievable. And the expedition surprisingly saved about 2 mpg more then the accord. Im getting rid of it for at least 300$ thats how much i hate it. Ive had 4 cars before and they were v8’s, the reliability was fantastic and stress free working on it. Now this accord is really getting me eager.

Has never had any major mechanical problems. Only thing done to truck in over 15 years was tires, one battery and religiously changing oil every 3K miles ( all normal maintenance). The only non-maintenance item I’ve had problems with over 15 years are brake low pressure sensors. I’ve replaced them and idiot light is on again. Other than poor low tire pressure sensors…. Zero problems. Keep oil changed every 3000 miles and this year 5.4 is a great and reliable engine.

    • @NotSoHandyCarGuy
      @NotSoHandyCarGuy 20 дней назад

      So far, everything has been 100% flawless. The car is currently only at around 70k miles, but it’s been put through it’s paces. It seems like the key to longevity of these is to keep the oil fresh. The main issues with the B58’s are going to be oil leaks from valve cover gasket and oil filter housing. Those usually happen after 100k miles. I can’t say much about the diffs or driveshaft stuff, but drivetrain-wise, these are very solid cars, and I’m not aware of any common issues with the ZF tranny. No codes or sensor malfunction yet, either. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a used X3 of this generation, as long as it’s been cared for and it has the straight 6. I stand by everything I said in this video.
