Well I got my CBI Offroad ditch light brackets and theyre awesome, aside from the fact that my OCD is KILLING me that the passenger side one rides right on the antenna. The plastic gear is broken, it doesnt go down, and honestly I only get around 2 radio stations I like. So can I mount a CB...

So my paint started cracking on my lower door trim on my '98 Limited, pretty horrendously, which lead me to look into mudflaps. Well since I don't really want to drill into my pristine fender flares or inner wheel wells, I came up with no options for a drill-less install. And no one makes these...

Ah, I understand. Such little info on these things.. everyone says lock rings are on the exterior when theyre actually interiors, thanks for the help. It was a major road block today, never thought about being interior ones. This is future info for those trying to remove their driveshaft on a...

Rear U Joint went bad, took out the driveshaft to replace it, well upon observing the u joint, it seems there are no lock rings? I do not see any to remove, is this normal? I also have new Moog ones, that have lock rings, will I not need the lock rings? Seems stupid to not have the or even have...

Do you have to do any cutting or trimming for those? I would like to keep everything in one piece incase I choose to remove them.

I was curious if anyone has ever done this. I was thinking of creating a mount on my side view mirror that uses the existing screws on the underside to put a plate and mount the lights to those plates. Does this exist? Has anyone done this? Any pointers?

My '98

Did you have to cut anything? I would like to get some but don't want to have to cut anything up

My '98 limited.

Well, shock went bad up front this week so I'm just going to replace all 4 with some KYB Gas-A-Just struts and shocks, and decided I'll go ahead and replace the ball joints since mine have been shot for a while now. My question: RockAuto carries many different brands for these UBJ & LBJs...

Our old muffler on the 4Runner has gotten a minor puncture and so I've decided to go ahead and get a new muffler. But I am not sure on which one to choose. I'd like something with a deep tone, maybe rumble, that is noticeable. I do not do a lot of highway driving. I want to keep the stock...

Fluid looks ok. Its the original fluid, 263,xxx miles on the motor so I was planning on all new belts new timing belts flushing the radiator new spark plugs and such so why not add the trans to the list. She's never gotten much of a tune up whatsoever. No 100k check up at the Toyota stealership...

I believe I may be running a little low on trans fluid, maybe you guys could help me determine this. Say I'm driving at 50mph, and gas it a little. It seems that its a little bit of a 'jerk' or thump, maybe like a hard shift. I also feel this when I gas a little hard leaving stop lights. If I...

In reply to both, I have disconnected the 12v power source, and everything seems okay. I'm thinking of running a relay, does anyone have any photos of something that would be optimal in this case? Also, tonight I left my 98 at home and drove for a few hours and came back to a dead 4Runner (98)...

Stock alternator and stock style battery as well. If that effects anything.
