Chim's 99
I have lurked on this site for years but never posted.. I mainly post on Marlin Crawler for the past 10 years but since I am a new 3rd gen owner I figured this is the place to be

New to me 1999 4Runner... less than 24hrs ago I got a great deal on this runner and I am going to abandon my first gen project and move on up.

Has 148k on the clock






Current plans are to get an ARB bumper... probably a toytech lift... and install my ARB I have had sitting around. It currently has 4.10 gearing so I need to confirm that my runner actually has 4.10 gearing. I have read multiple threads on how to determine and it still seems sketchy..

Got it all registered and plated this weekend. Then went and got stereo work done. Alpine deck, all alpine replacement speakers and added a sub.




Then got the front windows tinted to match the rears. 20%


Then removed all the black door edging.


Going to be ordering parts this week.


Question: Is the Boss coil over kit better than the toytec kit? I know boss costs a little more but is it worth it?

Toytec kit uses shocks valved for other vehicles since they dont make them for our rigs really. The BOSS kits have been custom valved to give a good ride in our trucks. At least I think thats how it goes, not sure if its that much better of a ride.

I got my ARB bumper delivered and I was just looking at the box of parts and I had a couple questions.

From searching ARB installs it looks like people are cutting off the ends of the frames and some are cutting the flange around the end. Since I dont want to have to weld an end plate can I just cut the flange around the end of the frame and make it smooth to where this bracket slides over the end:


Then once this slides over the end, are you still able to use a bolt on the front face that would be similar to using the bolt with the provided frame extension that doesn't get used?

(this extension bracket is only for tacomas correct... )

Looks good. I'm from clacakmas county as well. Mulino / Oregon city to be exact. Moved to Washington for work. These runners look really good with better bumpers.

I love my 861s! Even with my rear bumper, when I'm empty it can be a little bouncy, but when I really load it down, I'm level and rides great! I just had seven 5 gallon buckets full of beach rock in it and it rode level and smooth. I do have a loud squeak that I can't find though. But it could be anything from Sway Bar End Links to Panhard Bar to Springs or Shocks.... Who knows...

Hopefully they aren't too annoying for daily driving!

Maybe I missed it, but what was the outcome of the pinhole in your caliper? Did they ever contact you back? Were they real Tundra calipers or replacements. I got my set (smaller set) from local Auto Parts Store and both wore out before the pads did.... Lifetime warrantee, but who cares if they wear out in 4 to 5 years. I've got spacers coming so next time I need to deal with them, I'm getting the large version (and real ones)....

I sent the calipers back and got a refund on them. They were proper tundra calipers with the correct casting. I would have liked them just to replace them but it would have taken a week and I didn't want to be down that long. I was super happy with the finish and they looked quality but I think it was just a fluke that I got a messed up one. I ended up just going to autozone and getting their lifetime ones (same casting). I figured it would actually be easier to get them at a place like autozone in case I need to warranty them.
