Well it's been like 5 years since my last post. Imageshack ended up getting rid of all the photos I uploaded and I guess there's no way to get them back. Also my hard drive with all those pics gave up as well lol. My brother ended up getting into an accident on it some years back and I had to...

That sounds like lower control arm bushing is worn. I think I know exactly what you're talking about in regards to the thunking, every time I've run into that it was LCA bushings gone out. Or loose LCA bolts, but you said yours are snug. Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

Eager to see this project done and running perfectly [emoji106] Have a similar daily, except mine is a 99 MT that I swapped wiring, ecm, and interior from a 99 Limited because mine had an engine fire and wiring was toast. I really hope I still have the MT ecm somewhere, thanks to this thread...

I had to build my own 5 speed limited with elocker, probably the easiest way to acquire one lol.

I tested all the pistons and they all seems to be moving around well enough none are frozen or stuck. Still hearing air in the passenger side. I realized that there may be air in the ABS module since I had to swap out the burnt one out. I think that may be the culprit here. Sent from my...

There’s the adapter installed. While I was there I swapped out my front sway bar bushings with some poly ones I got a while ago. Had my brother press on the brake pedal a couple times and I’m thinking it’s this caliper that’s bad. Basically only one piston is working well. And the inside...

Got the spacers installed along with the big brakes. Will get pictures when I go to retorque them soon. Went to bed in the brakes and realized that it pulls really hard to the left during braking. Went home and bled the brakes, passenger caliper had air. Drove again and pulling still persists...

1999 4Runner Build So I ended up cancelling my order on the Spidertrax and went with BORA 0.75”. Have to wait a few more days but my tires already stick past my flares and I didn’t want a lot more of that. Probably just swap all my old brake hardware back on it for now until the spacers...

That’s exactly what I was wanting but they’d only be here Monday and I think I’ll be going up to the hills on Saturday so I went with Spidertrax 1.25” should be here tomorrow. Way wider than what I want but it’ll do for now and I may go down to .75” later on or get different wheels. I was going...

Did my big brake upgrade today with factory Tundra rotors, pads, shim kit, and rebuilt calipers. Unfortunately wasn’t able to take a drive and test out the new system because my Pro Comp 1059s 16x8 don’t clear the calipers, despite all threads saying that they do clear. It...

I painted the engine bay but I may redo it once I need to upgrade the clutch and do a thorough job on it. The heat from the fire destroyed the paint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Did some off-roading this weekend around Larch Mountain and Silver Star. Had some snow trailblazing fun no pics. Need to do the Tundra brake upgrade soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Started tackling mine today after work also, then saw this thread [emoji1305] I don’t remember what brand I used but they’re completely gone and spitting oil after less than a year. Wish I saw this thread before with all the links for parts. I went with a Japanese brand THO KP or something like...

1999 4Runner rebuild Haven’t been on here for a while. Was changing sway bar links when I noticed something wasn’t quite right lol. Got 5100s in the rear now. Forgot to save the pictures that I took. Also got 265/75 Falken Wildpeaks AT3W mounted instead my worn out 10 year old 265/70...

1999 4Runner rebuild 4Runner lurking in the back. Went shooting for a bit with my bro and dad today to test out his new 12 gauge. Brother broke his leg a few weeks ago so we brought him a chair lol I also scored a white hood for the Runner, traded my neighbor my green one for his white one...
