  1. If the injectors are firing and you have spark, the only other thing would be air. Have you checked the maf?
  2. After you drop the exhaust it makes some room to get at the bolts. You may need a long extension to get at a couple bolts. You can put a couple extensions together, but that will cause some deflection and may not work very well. I assume a 95 is similar to the 90? 4x4 or 4x2? On a 4x2 you should be able to squeeze out the cross member around he torsion bars without removing them. 4x4 I'm not sure, I have not done my clutch yet. I did a clutch on a 4x2 and I didn't have to remove the torsion bars, it was a 95. The transmission is heavy, very heavy. Have a buddy help.
  3. You actually add a ground to the existing ground. Make sure you get the right wire. If not things will melt.
  4. I don't know how Canada is about vehicle modifications. Do you have a place that will make them?
  5. If the exhaust is clogged it won't run well, if at all. The engine needs to spit out the exhaust. Unless your O2 is bad and dumping a lot of fuel into the exhaust, it's unlikely the cat is clogged. Possibly but unlikely. The maf will probably check out fine. Add a ground to the existing ground. It drops it at random.
  6. An exhaust shop can fix you up if you can't do it yourself. Some of the hangers can be purchased from the dealer.
  7. The maf can lose its ground for some unknown reason. Add a new ground to the existing ground. You might look at the iac valve. That can cause idle issues.
  8. What did it cost to do this? More info on the install please.
  9. One thing to consider is the fuel cools and lubes the pump. If you are letting the fuel get that low you run the risk of premature pump failure. I'm not saying it will go out sooner, something to think about. I fill up after I get down to 1/4 tank.
  10. I hate the placement of the filter. I put a remote filter on mine. Granted it sits straight not angled. My oil light does not stay on even when I go to the snow.
  11. I'm more of a do it all so you know it has been done. Less to worry about. It is a bit more expensive to replace it all, especially if you pay to have it done. Don't be surprised if the shop wants to replace a lot of items. It doesn't help that I don't trust others to work on my vehicles unless I can't fix it myself. I like the boards here. Lots of helpful people.
  12. My alt figured it would die on me today. I managed to get to the parts store before the battery completely died. I replaced the battery also. I'm glad these are pretty easy to work on. I changed the alt out in the dark. I did have a drop light though. The way I look at it, I own the vehicle, so no payment.
  13. Consider tie rods and centerlink. I would jack the front up and let the tires hang off the ground. Grab each tire and move it side to side. You will see some movement if things are bad. Idler arms seem to hold up well. Like others I made my own idler arm brace. You can buy one if you don't have the skills to make one. Do you need one, probably not. I would replace upper and lower ball joints. While you are there repack the bearings. Inspect the bearing for wear before packing them. You can re index the torsion bars. If you do only go one tooth. If you have any boots missing on the bars change them. The dealer should still sell them. Inspect your cv shaft boots. If one is ripped I would just replace the whole shaft. Just easier and good insurance in case the joint has been exposed for a while. I could go on. My point is if you have never touched the front end, do it all. It will make the wife feel safer.
  14. The brothers have a 4 cylinder in their 4runnner. I just started watching 3 weeks ago. Pretty crazy stuff they have gone through.
  15. Lifetime warranty, translated means you spend your lifetime replacing the parts. Lol
  16. I'm late as usual. Glad to hear your b day was good B.
  17. I was young when we lived in Montana. It was cold and we didn't know any other weather.
  18. I finally got around to putting on the 2" body lift. Made brackets for the ebrake cables and drive shaft safety loop. I put longer hoses on the power steering reservoir rather than drilling new holes. I have to have new hoses crimped for my remote oil filter mount. I installed the rear gap guards but not the front. I'm probably going to cut the front guards down and use the factory holes for mounting.
  19. I have no more mountain blood left in me. When I travel to snow country I have to pack extra warm. It has been chilly here. 39°f at night. 50°f during the day. Yes that is chilly to me. Lol
  20. I'm in the same boat as you. I do go to the snow sometimes. I do little off road. I went with a little less aggressive tire so I could head the radio when going down the road. I bought Hancook Dynapro AT. They clear the mud out of the tread well. I did plow through some deep snow and had no issues. I'm not saying to go buy them. Just a suggestion.
  21. I replaced my bushings with poly. Was that better than rubber?
