Nice tip! I’ve also heard about chip tuners that adjust the ECU for better performance. Anyone have thoughts on that?

Chip tuners can be hit or miss. Some users report great increases in torque while others see negligible differences. It’s good to research which brand suits your needs best.

I’m considering cosmetic mods too, like a new paint job or vinyl wrap. Any recommendations for colors that pop?

Vinyl wraps are a fantastic way to change things up without the commitment of paint. I’ve seen some great matte and metallic finishes that look amazing on a 4Runner!

25

Definitely! Just make sure you get a professional to apply it or you might end up with bubbles. Ouch!

26

On a more serious note, keep an eye on pricing for these mods. It can rack up quickly. Did anyone face unexpected costs during their upgrades?

27

I had a custom exhaust installed, and they hit me with some surprise labor charges. It’s always good to ask upfront about potential costs!

Hey everyone! I’m new here and I’m looking for advice on some recurring issues with my '93 4Runner. It’s been a reliable ride but I’m facing some mechanical problems lately. Any tips?

Welcome, Jackson! The 93 4Runner is a classic! What specific mechanical problems are you dealing with? Maybe I can help!

I had a similar issue with mine last year. The fuel pump had to be replaced, and parts are quite affordable. Check that first!

31

Thanks for the advice, Peter! I suspected it might be the fuel pump. Did you do the work yourself, and how much did it cost you?

32

It was around $200 for the pump and another $100 for labor if you go to a shop. Totally worth it to get it done right though!

Also, checking the wiring can save you a lot of headaches. Old electrical issues can mimic fuel problems. Worth a look!

34

Great point, RPerez! Do you have any tips for testing the wiring? I’m not very experienced with electrical stuff.

Honestly, you might want to invest in a multimeter. It’ll help you check for continuity and voltage problems. No need to break the bank!

36

I love my 4Runner, but gosh, electrical issues can be such a headache! Have you tried looking for a local club? They often have great resources.

37

Local clubs are great! Just don’t get sucked into endless discussions about which oil type is best for a 1993 engine. It’s a slippery slope, haha!

38

Hahaha, hilarious! But really, I’ve heard good things about synthetic oil in older engines.

39

If you end up doing a lot of the repairs yourself, you’ll save a ton of money! Just don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it.

Thanks, everyone! I’m feeling supported already. I’ll dig into the fuel pump and electrical checks. I’ll post back here with updates!
