Bumpidy bump.

I'm probably imagining this, but lately I've been feeling like the steering in my 5th gen is somewhat stiff. It's not difficult or tough, there's no pump noise, but I wanted to ask around here. The Runner feels somewhat stiffer in steering compared to my GF's 2017 Rav4 and significantly stiffer...

I've come to like the interior of my '19 ORP. At first I thought I'd be replacing the stereo with something with CarPlay, but I haven't even bothered with that in the 3 years I've had it. It's rugged, easy to clean (important in a trail and camping rig) and I've really, really come to love the...

Joke's on you, because I've already been formally diagnosed with OCD.

Yeah, I think using the mist function is when mine did that, too, but it seemed like a first with the intermittent setting on. Oh well, seems like it's normal for it to wig out like that once in a while.

Same setup here for me. Currently 285/70 tire, but I’m planning to run 285/75 next, which is close to a 34”.

I’ll try asking here instead of General. Sorry for x-posting. So I don't drive my 5th gen much, so the wipers haven't been used in months -- since the winter, really. Searching didn't seem to match my issue exactly. Today it was raining, I turn on the wipers and they work just fine, but in...

I’ve been reading more on upper ball joints and jeep forums seem to agree that some vertical play is normal for the uppers, though there should be no side to side play. I have zero side to side play in the joint in question, so maybe I’ve mis-diagnosed? Some conflicting info out there it seems.

Thanks! If my current balljoints do turn out to be an issue, these look like a good option.

So here's what I did. Raised the truck by the LCA. Then put a lever (like a 2x4) under the tire and pushed up while looking at the upper ball joint. The driver side def. has some movement, but very little. Passenger seems to have as well, but less, although it's harder for me to see as...

A little backstory before suggestions, to give you an idea of where I'm coming from. Back in September 2021 both my delta joints on the Icon tubular UCAs were toast. Lots of play and clunking; they had 10k miles on them. Icon sent me replacement delta joints under warranty. Got that installed...

For those saying to replace the tires, it's likely not the tires, guys. It's well-known that 4runners tend to be very sensitive to balance and can/will shake. Lots of folks here replaced tires to no avail. Lots of folks found various solutions. Lots more still deal with the shakes, which can...

Following. My lab hates wheeling because he's all over the place. I've been looking for a solution as well.

You're rubbing them with 285s? I run Kings with rears mounted the same way - along the frame rails. I have 285 KO2s with OEM PRO wheels and I don't have any rub.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. All the memories are surfacing now. I bought a nice garage-kept LS2 GTO back in 2009. Parked it in the garage for the winter and bought a 94 Integra. Trunk floor was non-existent. Could not use it as it was a big hole. Then I flipped that and got a 94 XJ. Holes under...
