These 5VZ's are great engines to learn on since they are non interference. When I replaced the head gaskets on mine I timed the cams wrong on one side, so I'm very glad that I was unable to ruin my engine. 😂 What a great find Jared. I hope you get this ride in tip top shape.

I've always enjoyed Jared's wisdom. I feel like, first, with the new shop, and now with full ownership of the channel, the quality and enthusiasm keeps getting better. (Though the audio clipping was rough in this one, that's just a recording goof)

I had a rear differential ring gear failure in my 2000. Decided to kick a tooth. Rebuilt the entire rear axle from brake lines to a whole new carrier from toyota with just good ol hand tools. Getting the factory 4:10 is impossible on aftermarket, so biggest expenditure was getting a fully set new carrier assembly from Toyota. Cost not a whole lot more than the time and hassle of trying to rebuild old one.

Yes! An awesome 3rd Gen 4Runner. I also got a 3rd 97’ 4Runner. At 281k miles, still going strong! Hope you keep it and make it an awesome daily. Love the 3rd Gens!

Awesome! Thank you!

You scored on the purchase. It would be better if it had 50k less miles, but still you only have $78 in a running and driving vehicle. That's a win everyday!

Fantastic!! So glad you’re back to your Toyota roots. I found this super special as I have the same supras and 4Runner! Awesome! Plz do a JZ build with Derek at VGG someday! Would love to see that!!

Thanks Jared! You're a great motivator. You see, every time I watch one of your videos I always want to go and wrench on my stuff.

Awesome and yet down-to-earth content, and one can tell that you feel comfortable with this, Jared. Also, we need t-shirts with "Option 5 is still in the table"/"looking at option 5 :(". Truly enjoyable video and great editing.

Had a 97 4runner SR5. Loved it. Was a beast in the snow. I did a EMU lift, new timing belt, water pump, radiator, rear axle seals, f&r brakes, drive shaft boots, and a vent on the rear diff. I painted the bumpers, grill, floor boards and fender flares with a bed liner. Did some polish on the bright red paint. Only thing I wish I had was the sport raised hood. Then the big D took it away from me.

I'm enjoying watching this, I had a 97 4Rnr, and never managed to stop transmission fluid mixing with water in the cooling system, despite changing absolutely everything in the cooling system, I eventually lost that engine, due to losing water through heating system hoses hidden at the back of the engine, and a blown heater core, water got into the engine and it hydro-locked, I sold the vehicle to someone who put another engine into it and it's still being used. I replaced that 4Rnr with a 2000 4Rnr, I've so far had no cooling issues with this one and have put good money into it to improve and maintain it, now at 199,000 miles and running sweetly.

I need to follow this advice better when getting projects. I paid $3000 for an s2000 this summer. Didn't realize a new motor was going to cost $4500 because of my location. Luckily it had some nice aftermarket parts that didn't really add any value I was able to sell, as well as parting out the blown motor. After all that was sold I was able to offset the purchase price completely

Love to see these kind of projects sprinkled in with the no budget builds. Hope to see you in that new Supra soon.

heck yeah man I am so psyched for this series. it's a long term goal with lots of intermediate goals to accomplish along the way so its great for content. i drive a lifted 2000 4runner sr5 so i am psyched to see what you do with yours. during covid (before the price balloon) i found an red 160k mile SC430 that only needed paint and some valve cover gaskets for $3500 and flipped that into double.

Awesome video! I like the relatability of this kind of content. I’m currently working on my first project, a honda prelude! It’s exciting seeing what you can do with a little knowledge, thanks for inspiring me to make questionable decisions!

1 thing people also need to realize is their states laws on flipping vehicles. Here in our state of Georgia you can only buy and sell 5 titled vehicles in a given year without some sort of dealers or wholesalers license. Great video and a 4 runner is a great flip vehicle. 👍 Matt.

Love these videos I flip cars and dont buy unless it drives well I finally got the confidence to buy a non runner I got a 2011 Mercedes c300 4matic needed a starter and I crawled underneath saw the jumper wire from solenoid to starter was burnt and motor was free it also needed a fender few small things but everything worked I put a starter in from eagle bay for 60 bucks and she runs great! Also it came with mint amg wheels with michleins I got the car for 1200 with tow paperwork and all parts on I'm under 2200 in the car and everything is good now!

Great job with the five hit points. Forwarded this to a friend who is looking to buy an obs ford pickup. Great explanation!!!

Love the new intro Jared, looks awesome. 👍 Also, congrats on winning the grudge race by default against Brent. 😛 That guide to flips and questionable purchases is gold. People should memorize it. 👍

Love 4 Runners, I've had several of them here in the UK. After seeing yours it looks to me like the truck was lifted with a forklift truck! The marks on the captains side look like fork heels!!!!! Loving the new look channel 👌👍👌👍

I like learning new platforms, sure if you want to make sure you make money staying with what you know is a way to do it, but it also locks you into a box. Moving to different platforms really expands over all knowledge, which is why I bought my 91 sr5 pickup and some vw's. Looking forward to selling some stuff off to get some new platforms to learn on.

I bought a 95 Cherokee that was abandoned. Had no idea what was wrong, no idea what I was doing in repairing it. I've driven it daily the last 2 months and have put almost 2k miles on it. No regrets at all, I love the thing.

Jared, you are going to hit a million subs! Your content is Just awesome

This is amazing, I just started building my own 4runner, now I get to watch Jared do one too

I’ve got to say it Jared, you always seem to succeed where others fail. A true testament to your overwhelming wealth of knowledge. I also have to say that the little beaut of a Toyota sounds really good 👌🏻

Nice shout out to Chris fix. He does a great job of laying out needed tools and alternatives. This was a great video! I really want an SUV, but don't/can't spend 100k!

I got a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville SSEI. Did a lot to it, all new suspension, big brake kit, rims and nice tires, interior out of an 05 gxp, zzp PCM tune, zzp downpipe, fender well air intake, 3.4 supercharger pully, and a stage 1 trans built by triple edge performance. It was a really fun car. Wish I hadn't gotten rid of it for a truck

I was looking for a 2 seater convertible toy. I landed on wanting a BMW Z4. After a year and a half, I stumbled on a 2008 Z4 3.0si for half of market value. After looking it over and knowing why he was selling it so cheap, I got it. I had to put $700 in it to get the top working and fluid changes. That is all it needed. Everything that is scary on an N52 had already been replaced. It is a fun exciting car.

Nicely done sir. I love 4Runners. Can’t wait to see how this one plays out.

Love 4Runners! Can’t wait to see what you do with it, Jared.

Jared, I love your mk3 supra. I’m in GA and looking for one to pick up and start tinkering on. They’re elusive these days to say the least. Thanks for giving these Toyotas the screen time they deserve.

I bought a 2000 Lexus RX300 for 1,300. I didn't know, but it had a bad transmission. Luckily, I had Covid money, so I decided to rebuild the transmission with my dad. I've only put 1,000 miles on it after the rebuild, but it's a great rig now. Sometimes it's worth it to take a gamble. I spent about 900 on the rebuild, but about 600 on tools. Engine had 185k on it. Now it runs great.

4runner has a crazy following. After owning a 4runner, I don't know why I didn't get one sooner.

I miss my 98 4runner. Manual, V6, 4wd. It had a nice lift and other mods. My wife, well fiance at the time, gets car sick really easily.

Super excited about this!! Always love learning car knowledge!!

3rd gen 4Runners are such great platforms for either moding or just driving a million miles. My 99 Limited has been the best vehicle I've ever owned. The angels are great and the devils don't scare me at all. It has over 270k miles and still runs like a champ. Doesn't burn or leak any oil, Trans shifts smooth, chassis is tight and rust free, and no electrical gremlins. As a 3rd gen fan, and a 4Runner fan in general, I'm excited to see what you have planned for it. Nice, well sorted examples even with high mileage are selling for a premium. You definitely have room to make a profit.

I'm stoked for this build. I recently bought a clapped out 2002 with 300k that just wont quit. (Quit rusting) Best $1200 I ever spent. I'm a true Alaskan haha

Yes, my first car was a 1998 4Runner Manual! My current project is a 1999 4Runner "Highlander" Manual, I'm excited for this series!

I think you just helped me with the grabby brakes on my ‘81 Toyota pickup. I’ll have to pull the rear apart to check for leaks. Thanks man! It’s pretty good when you can unintentionally help with other projects. 10/10

Fantastic and encouraging video. You definitely have me hooked on this series!

To answer your question "what would you like to start with as a project"? Where I live there is one easy choice - a 88 - 97 Chevy or GMC 1/2 ton pickup with a 4.3L V6. They are good trucks and very popular but the V6, to a great many owners, isn't worth the money to overhaul and they think it's too involved to do a V8 swap. The fact is, in most cases, you can drop a 5.7L right in with an engine mount change and a V8 ECU and distributor. If the original trans was a standard you might have to upgrade to a heavier one but most of the automatics were 700R4 or 4L60. Either is OK with an OE 305 or 350 CID V8. Good running, decent looking OBS trucks are usually a quick flip and a reasonable profit for the time and investment.

I've been a die hard Toyota guy for over 20 years. My last 1999 supercharged Tacoma had 268k miles on it when I sold it and I still see it around town. If you keep a the water pump/timing belt and other basic stuff done a 3.4 will live a seemingly draconian life.

This is great Jared. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Rounded up my month ends by fixin & flippin cars back in early 1970 to the 80, made good money, Nevers lost on any of them, my wife used them as a daily until it was sold, went from Chevette's to Monte Carlo's, whatever I could get from the GM dealer I was working for or directly from a customer. Love your video's.

Would love to see you fix and flip your way to that supra in a series. Think of the teaching opportunities over the year.

Always had a soft spot for these 4-Runner, almost bought one a year ago, but it was in too rough off a shape and i'm not good with welding X). Hope this one doesn't hide anything and it ends up becoming a nice profit for you.

Looking forward to seeing how things go with this 4Runner. I used to own a 1994 4Runner. It was a pretty awesome vehicle for it's day. Only problem I had with it was a bad AC compressor. Had the dealership replace it and, soon after, the new AC compressor also popped. Turned out that the 1st mechanic that worked on it wasn't as skilled as they likely should have been. I regret selling that 4Runner.

I just got myself a 1998 limited 4runner that the previous owner took GREAT care of, but it's got crazy high mileage so it may take some work. I'll be watching for some more of this series, seems like it may do me well! I'll be trying my own series out on my channel as well!

This is awesome, Jared you are an awesome host and I love the content can't wait to see more

Great video G. I like these ones...it's something I could do, and I get more and more confident the more knowledge you give out..Thanks big fella.

Fun fact! The 4runner is actually an american design originally! A US dealer loved the Hilux and really wanted a ranch wagon like it. So what happened? The very first 4runners were made when this dealer got permission from toyota to sell Hilux modified by Winnebago! They added a fiberglass top and another sest in the modified bed along with other tweaks. The toyota executives loved it so much and was so in demand? Toyota decided to make it official! The rest is history.

12:55 nice little puddle there, car’s already making itself at home in the Questionable Garage by marking its territory.😂

I bought my son a 97 4 runner and that thing is a beast. Over 300K on it now. Love that truck!

Road to Supra. What a mantra. Godspeed Jared!

The rear axle seal problem is 95% a plugged breather on top of the axle. Guess how I found out? Fixed the 1st one. Then the other side went out! Read and researched tons of forums.... cheap breather was plugged. Now I check it every oil change. 332,000 miles 3.4L gen 1 Taco still going strong.

I took a big gamble a couple years ago and bought a 1988 Pontiac Firebird without too much forethought. I knew it ran and drove and that was it. I later found that the passenger window was shattered, and the steering column was jacked up (tilt and telescope were busted). So I did the right thing and stripped it down for full-on restoration over time 😅

I just want to have fun with what i buy... I bought a 82 Vette with a knocking motor for 3k in excellent shape, had the motor redone for 2k including aluminum heads and it was a beast...... For what it was. Had fun and made money when i sold it. The key is having a good time, maybe making a buck, and most of all getting to know new communities of car folks. The Vette guys were not really my type, for the most part, BUT it was a cool experience! i regret nothing

As a former Mk3 Supra owner, I am well aware of the security system creating a no-start situation. This knowledge served me well, earlier this summer I was at the gas station and I hear a car just turning over as the owner was trying to get it to start. Absolutely no spark, just starter noises. Look over and see an early 90's Odyssey (i think) and the owner just perplexed. Recalling the previous issues with my Supra, I walked over to the guy and said, ' I know this sounds crazy, but take the key out of the ignition and the lock and unlock your driver door with the key. Then try to start it. He looked at me like i was crazy, but gave it a shot. It fired right up and his expression will live rent-free in my head forever. Walked away to virtual fireworks going off in my head like I was Kenny Powers.

I've flipped a few Toyotas recently. You really can't go wrong, they are so well built. And people know this, so when you fix them up you have no trouble reselling them.

A few years back, one of my friends owned a 5VZ prado that sprung a coolant leak from the lower rad hose, she drove it for about another 400m before pulling over and figuring out all the coolant had been dumped. Surprisingly, the engine was completely fine after having the hose replaced and rad filled up. These iron block toyota engines seem pretty hard to kill, If my 2zz-ge dumped its coolant it would spin all its bearings, crack a cylinder and a wall😂

On an e46, I once repaired a split in the intake boot with a large rubber patch. Worked great
