Finally replaced the upper ball joints that I purchased from camelback 5 1/2 years ago! Now the ABS is kicking in at slow speeds when coming to a stop. I'm thinking it's the driver side speed sensor that was pretty much rusted to the hub and required lot of twisting and pulling to remove. Hopefully a better cleanup and better seating into the hub will fix it.

Also did driver side cv axle and front passenger side differential oil seal due to a previous cv axle change 4 years ago.

F*ckin heavy duty!! Boulder ready if I've ever seen it.
Really like those A Arms. Been thinking about doing mine since the stock ones don't provide much droop it seems, but it's quite the pricetag

I found this mess on Friday morning, the beginning of a long overdue 4 day weekend. I knew that I had a small hole in the back of the muffler just 2 months ago, I have no idea when it got this bad or when the tail pipe snapped off. I never heard a rattle, just a little more exhaust noise.


When I took off the remainder of the muffler, I found out how bad this has gotten over the past 4 months. Time to do something about it. I'll update my build thread w/ details.

Still chasing misfire on ctlinder 6. But also threw in some 5w30 for the truck...then threw a good russian imperial stout aptly named 5w30 into myself

That looks great! Can we get some details on the hardware under there? Curious what you used on the chassis as well.

Messed around with my transmission support bracket for the 4wd conversion. Seems to be no way around me having to cut the 2wd horns off. Their placement is in the way, and not usable for easily adapting to the new trans bracket. I might just have to use the Trail Gear skid-plate after all. Drilling 6 holes in the frame won't be fun or easy, but I just don't trust my welding skills and not willing to pay a welder for a house-call. I can't even test fit the skid plate with the horns in place. Looks like it's going to take the leap of going all in.

Replaced the driver rear bumper extension that came with the car. Just bought it on Saturday so first official wrench on the truck...first of many to come I'm sure.

Tried to figure out why the wiring harness is burnt. Under the dash

Can you give any more details? Specifics about your 4runner, whether this is a new development and if there were any symptoms evident before you noticed that things were burnt, a more clear description of what is burnt, maybe some pictures?

Installed eimkeith's PCK. Pretty amazed at how much of an improvement it is

Do modern cars use fusible links? That's where I would start looking if so, their whole purpose is to burn out from a short or what-have-you so your main harness/car doesn't catch fire

It's a full SoloMotorsports front end. LT kit, fabricated spindles, heim steering. It's their newer version that uses Dana 44 hubs. Then 2.5" King coilovers and 3 tube bypass shocks with 2" bumps.

I had to tub a little bit of the cab to fit 35s, so the plastic inner fender won't fit any more. I had to paint from where I did the cutting and welding anyway so I decided to spray the entire inner fender with Raptor Liner. Matches what I already have on the lower half of the body and around the wheel wells.

Well no wonder I didn't recognize it! I hadn't even heard of that kit before. Looks absolutely bulletproof!

Oh, so that is Raptor liner. I've been deciding what to do with inner fender when I rebuild my suspension. Looks good!

Im having a hard time uploading photos maybe need to use a computer. I recently bought the 4 runner 3 windows didnt work. I figured it was regulators or window switches that was not the case everything tested out to be fine. After hours and hours of troubleshooting I realized the drivers door was not grounded. Traced the white wire with black stripe from the master switch in drivers door. The white and black wire was broken in the door hinge. I replaced the wire everything started working great. I figured problem solved put everything back together. Few hours later the master switch started blowing smoke. The wire i replaced that was broken (wht/blk) was scorched insulation burnt off. Master switch melted and the connector under dash melted. When investigating that i notice the connector which sends wiring to the rear of the vehicle was also burnt. I think its the primarily for the window in the back hatch. Not sure if that connector was burnt prior to the window switch issue or not.

Here's some photos still trying to figure out the forum. Not sure if this is the right place or way to post
