Its time for a lift and I want to go with the Tundra/LC lift. I have read tons of threads about the tundra lift, but it seams like everyone gets their parts from the junk yard or from Toyota. I really don't want to go the junk yard route and Toyota parts are so expensive. My question is can I...

Yesterday My daughter was complaining about some of the issues that come with owning a 20 year old vehicle, (Like not wanting to go 80 on the HWY). When I told her how great it was for its age she just rolled her eyes not understanding 20 years is a very old car. So I explained that a dog ages...

Check over in the 4th gens. The later 3rd gens shared some of the VSC/ATRAC stuff with the 4th gens. I have a 4th gen that did that. It had something to due with emissions. It was a while ago so I can't remember exactly what it was. Also make sure you gas cap is tight

bsdoig, can you tell us the hub to fender before and after measurements? I am looking at doing this same lift on my 98'

First off, welcome to America! That rig is sweet! How does the rear hatch open? like a 4runner or a land cruiser? Does it have diff locks? Can you post a pick of the 3rd row seats? i wish my 98 had a 3rd row sometimes.

A: its a 98 limited 4x4 A: I mention air in the lines because that's what I thought I would start with. I used the old school method to bleed the brakes until I had clear fluid coming out. A few bubbles came out but I thought I had them all, Maybe there is still some in there. i think i will...

After many searches and reading a ton I am no closer to fixing my breaks. I thought maybe starting a new thread might get me some answers. So here is the problem; The pedal is soft when you press it for the first inch or two, then it gets firm. The pedal goes down farther than normal but not...

The guy behind the camera yelling "he's got her wound out" in a Canadian accent Had me laughing. I never noticed the water in the headlight. That must mean that was not the first deep water crossing that day. Sounded like a 4 cylinder manual???

I m not sure I did the link right. If it does not work search "beaver dam craziness" in you tube. Skip to 8 Minutes in and watch this guy in a 4runner dive into a beaver pond. Its the most spectacular water crossing I have ever seen! https://youtu.be/8D7gCST55cI

:iagree:

I have an 03 v6 now. I had an 05 tundra with that same v8. You will love the motor, it super smooth and has a ton more power that the 3.4 3rd gen motor. I have the x reas suspension on my 03. I was told by toyota one shock was leaking and needed to be replaced, that was 2 years ago. I think it...

BEWARE!!! looks like a possible case of odometer fraud. By the look of the steering wheel and the fact that the front seats have been re-leatherd I would say it could have more than the advertised 139K miles. Be carful. Get a care fax. It may not have been rolled back, but I would be very...

Unner, you hit the nail on the head!

I wanted to post this to help people decide which 4runner to buy. I know this is kind of beaten to death but thought I would share my 2 cents being I Currently own both. My 4runners- 1998 limited 4x4 E-locked on 265/75/16's, only mod is the deck plate mod. In excellent condition, with 250K...
