  1. I replaced my carpet in the cab, the best thing I did was putting sound deading material down while the old carpet was torn out.
  2. I have had some overheating issues with my 1989 3.0 and decided to swap out my 26 year old radiator with a new 3 row ALuminum radiator. My biggest concern was fitment. I did a ton of searching and found a radiator that was worth taking a shot with. At $90.00 the price was hard to beat so I rolled the dice. The radiator arrived and felt twice as heavy as the OEM and looked great. I was super happy to find that it dropped right in and everything bolted up with no problem. After a quick drive it looks like it solved my overheating problem. I hope this helps others looking for a quick and easy upgrade/replacement. http://www.shepherdautoparts.com/all_aluminum_radiator/toyota/4runner/1989/3.0l_v6_182.html
  3. I dare you to find a link or part number to a bigger tank. I've looked forever and the only apparent option is doing a custom tank of some sort. There are rumors of a certain year jeep or T-100 possibly fitting, but no proof as of yet.
  4. Another solution to your speedometer being off is do what I did, install a Heads up display which projects your speed via GPS on the window, it's pretty slick.
  5. I came across this radiator, thinking of buying it. http://www.shepherdautoparts.com/all_aluminum_radiator/toyota/4runner/1989/3.0l_v6_182.html
  6. Yeah, there are a few options. None are super easy unless your RV is pre-wired for a generator and you have the cash for a Onan generator.
  7. The only way to run the house AC while driving is with a generator.
  8. I worked hard to turn the overdrive in my Warrior V6 into something useable. I now have 4.56 gears, K&N intake, 2.25 exhaust, upgraded 4 hole fuel injectors and my timing advanced to 13 degrees. I can now cruise all day in Overdrive with very little downshifting.
  9. It actually didn't sell, the guy relisted it just a few days ago. I emailed him and I'm fairly certain it's a scam.
  10. 1991-1992 Clarion Motorhome, a rare find. Only 200+ made.
  11. That's the one thing I miss on my 1989 Warrior, no generator so I can't run the house AC while driving. It gets pretty hot back there with three kids. I've installed two fantastic fans and two under cabinet fans but it's not enough.
  12. Looks like your vacuum reservoir for your cruise control.
  13. With the right modifications the V6 is much better suited for today's speed limits and driving style.
  14. I just passed one going from Soldotna to Anchorage!
  15. I have the 17 gallon tank and would love to get a bigger tank or aux one. I have been unable to get anywhere with this upgrade.
  16. I'm in Alaska right now, just not with my Toyota, we saw a early 80's pop up top Toyota close to Soldotna. I plan on making the drive from Utah to Anchorage next summer with my Toy.
  17. Linda, what shop in SLC are you talking about? I live in SLC and would be interested!
  18. Yes, same cords, same outlet, the only thing that is different is moving the motorhome 30 feet to concrete vs dirt. That and my front two tires being lifted by ramps. When parked in my dirt rv spot, I can keep it plugged in for months. As soon as it's moved to concrete and put on ramps, it trips the GFCI inside the house.
  19. I dont think there is an issue with the GFCI, I'm wondering if it has something to do with how the motorhome is grounded while sitting on dirt vs concrete, all wheels down vs two wheels up. There must be something going on that will cause the GFCI to trip while on concrete vs dirt, or not?
