4th gen battery tray will solve the problem of the tray being too small
Nice tip! I suspected the tundra tray would work but didn’t get a chance to poke around.
I'm just in the process of updating my battery to a 27F and was looking into 4th gen battery trays to accomodate the longer length. Do you know if the tray fits in no problem, or does it require modification?
It fits perfectly. No modification needed
@@m.t.02 That's great, thanks for the info!
Thanks so much for sharing the info about the battery size upgrade and how to get the 3 year warranty! My battery just died and I was so lucky you posted this as soon as it did lol, it's great now!
Really appreciate all of your videos you make, they are extremely helpful 🙏
Nice!!!
I'm glad you mentioned Costco; even if it's a 24f or 27f their Interstates are way less expensive than Napa/OReilly etc etc
Guilty Costco shopper… lol
simple video, but im glad your still at it.
Hopefully the info about the tundra upgrade was useful lol. Not sure how this simple video was 10min long
Group 27F was the original battery spec'd for the Gen1 FJ. The 27F can be difficult to find since many auto parts stores have standardized on Group 24 but the Costco-s around here carry them. Much better battery! Thank you for letting others know.
27F is used in all the believe tundra and grand highlanders I believe. Should be around for a while
I just found your channel and I love what you’re doing! But, I must tell you that when you buy a car battery from a retailer, it shouldn’t matter what vehicle you’re putting it into. I worked in auto parts for 7 years. When you buy the battery, you’re buying the warranty as well. Battery manufacturers price the battery according to group size, cca/ca rating, and warranty period. I don’t know which store you bought that 27f from, but you are entitled to the warranty duration stated. You may have gotten a “counter specialist” who didn’t know how to handle a battery prorate. You are literally paying for and own the extended warranty with a battery, unless the store didn’t retain your purchase information in their system, or you didn’t have your own proof of purchase (receipt), when attempting to swap a bad battery for a new one.
Again, your channel rocks! I’m definitely going to keep watching!
It was Costco and since it was off the shelf, they basically sold it like they do their marine batteries. Just 1 year warranty.
Nice work man!
Appreciate it!
Thank You , very informative video , always looking forward to seeing next
3rd gen videos 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Seen a buddy somewhere on the Tube actually fit an H8/H9 battery in his no probs/mods, slid a board underneath for structural support as it hangs over the alt. You'll see'm @ Walmart; crazy HUGE batt's! Thinking of doing it too, King Kong capacity 😆
Good Toyota DIY channel
Thanks! 👍
@@PhoRunner Hi Sir, What scanner did you use for Toyota?
Just got a 27f battery today to try napa was more expensive but needed a battery
Hey I just found this channel and as a 3rd Gen T4R owner it’s exactly what I need. I was wondering if you could at some point come up with a video on the rear tailgate window, mine has issue where if rolled down all the way it rattles around in the tailgate, and it also shoves one side of the glass up against the tailgate when it’s going down, so a video on realigning/tightening that system would be great.
Unfortunately I don’t know how to repair that but perhaps one side of the track is loose
Great video and very informative! I put an Interstate MTP-24-INTL on my 3rd gen can't remember if it had an F after the 24 though but it's just a lil bit longer than the battery plate these 3rd gens come with for some reason it only has 18month of warranty though i believe its due to my location but sadly was more expensive than these ones
The wires won’t reach if it’s not the “F”
they did reach, been on it since october might have the F but can't see it due to the bracket holding the battery on top @@PhoRunner
good one; I could share the 27F size between our 4runner, E350, and a camper.
Sweet! Multi purpose
haven't had any warranty limits with our local O'Reilly or Tractorsupply, I don't have to match the batt with a vehicle.
That’s nice. Guess it’s just Costco.
Hey man,
So I’m trying to build out my 4runner to be basically just like yours. However, there’s a few things I’d request you do a video of if you’ve got time.
Can you show how you cleaned up your electrical. The early video you have already had it pretty complete doesn’t show the step by step that you used for other videos.
Additionally, would you be willing to do a video on your custom tent build? If so that would be super helpful and I would appreciate it.
You told me to find you on Facebook in the past but I couldn’t and also I deleted my Facebook. Is there any way to reach you for questions.
Thanks again the videos are super helpful.
Don’t forget to check your battery on the post connector. My connector was bad. Took me forever to figure it out 😂
Good thing the key wasn’t on
This also works on the GX460
Yessir. It works for 5th gen 4Runners also
Really enjoying your content and learing alot. Is there a way of contacting you in a pm or email to get your opinion/advise on some 3gen. 4 runner questions ?
Hello, looks good but I recommend better a XS POWER D3400 BATERY it will last you like 6 of those regular batt. I have two on my car and one of them is almost 10 years old... also do the CS144 Alternator mod it will go from 80 amps to 140 amps..
I will check it out
Hi, I have a 2000 4runner , could you make a video changing the cabin air filter?
No cabin air filters in these 4runners
@@PhoRunner I think the same, but I'm a little confused because some tell me yes and others say no, I've looked for it and can't find anything, they have a blower and there are videos about it but nothing more; thanks for answering
@@jonnydelatorres5933no cabin filters on these 4Runners. I looked lol😂
@@PhoRunner 🤣🤣🤣
Would it make sense to go with an AGM since it sits for longer periods?
It does
Do you have a fridge running off this battery? / Will this battery be enough to run a fridge?
It will power it and solar can keep things topped off. I’ve been camping with it and it was fine overnight in summer. I do have solar and jumpers just in case
I replaced my battery with the exact one you bought from Costco. Now that it’s replaced, there are several indicator lights that won’t go off on the gauge cluster (ABS, Airbag, Brake & TRAC). Did I do something wrong? Do you know how I can resolve this issue?
Did you reinstall everything on the positive side.
@@PhoRunner - Yes I did. When I put the battery back in, I connected the positive side first.
@@PhoRunner - As a side note, before the battery replacement, I had to jump start the truck with a Duralast 1,000 amp portable jump starter.
@@tony_lopez check your fuses. One could have blown
Hey man not about the video but have u had to replace the knock sensor ever?
I have not but the sensor usually isn’t the problem. It’s the harness. Do both if you do get to it
When I searched for battery for my 1996 3.4 V6 on Costco, it says my size group is 35... ??
Yeah… I believe that’s even smaller. Go for the bigger with a different model year
Thanks. Just got the 27F today. Told Costco I had Tundra.. haha.
27F fits like a glove!
Thanks a lot for the tip!
Nice!! Haha ;)
Hiw to change a battery. You are now getting to a pro channel bro.
ThNks bro. I got a 1998 4 runner sr5. Always looking to fix things up on it. Also, dont take this the wrong way, but ya voice was cracking like a bih 😭😅
Yah.. getting a little sick I think lol
6-8 years from a battery. Share your scorcery. If I get 4 years out of a battery, I am shocked.
lol might be off by 2 years but my Prius battery(yellow top) lasted that long and I preventatively replaced it and it’s being used for boating now (still working strong) lol
@PhoRunner nice. We needzzz some Prius content lol
Did the larger battery make you're truck start any faster.
Sometimes my 3rd gen seems like it cranks longer than it should on initial start up.
I'm going to do the Jeep Cables big 7 kit to eliminate it being old wires.
@txrunroutdoors seems same to me. Try a starter rebuild (check my other video)
@PhoRunner will do.
Appreciate it brother
Diy Lithium cells and call it good
