I just came back from my mechanic to talk about upgrading my T4R based on your original builds and just saw this! I’ll hold off buying parts for now until you update the builds. Should I just keep following this thread or will it be posted somewhere else?

Hey guys, I have two 4Runners. A TRD supercharged (1st gen, gray) '99 and a '00. I want to remove the SC from the '99 and install it in the '00. I also plan on putting new oil in the nose cone. Would this be a simple swap of parts? Or is there anything new I would have to purchase?

A few weeks ago I gave a family member my supercharged 1999 4Runner (2wd) and bought a 2000 Limited. I'm thinking of swapping the supercharger later but that's for another discussion. Anyways, I noticed when ever I release the brake pedal it makes a squeaking noise. I believe it's coming from...
