    Steering wheel vibration poll -- responses appreciated

    Mine was vibrating very bad at 55-60 mph. KO2's are pretty worn. My local specialized shop said in the majority of cases, it's tire related. I was worried about the steering rack. That being said, I changed out my inner and outer tie rods and upper ball joints in my Camburg UCA's. Test...

    TC Lower Control Arm Poly Bushings

    I'm having some similar frustrations. Between the uniballs and bushings, I'm ready to go back to stock LCA's. I'm using Lucas Red n Tacky but might switch to Amsoil as stated above. Anyone know if it would be ok to just start pumping it in and mix it with the Red n Tacky? At least until the...

    Advisory: Baja Racks

    Ive had my BajaRack for a long time, Id guess about 7 years now. Never experienced the issues above. The only complaint is that the powder coating is JUNK! It's been flaking off for years now and started early on after the initial install. Other than that, it's a great rack. If I were to do...

    Tranny flush

    I flushed mine at around your mileage at the dealer a few years ago and it's been fine ever since. Recommended it for the hard off roading I was doing at the time.

    Rear hatch won't close - PROBLEM/SOLUTION

    Long time since Ive been on here. Short story: Had a couple hours to pack up to take the family camping, leaving early the next morning. All packed up, go to shut the rear hatch and it bounces back up towards me. Umm? Check the obvious, bounce, bounce. About 100 more bounces and cursing...

    Replacement bushings for Total Chaos LCA's ?

    Thanks - just shot them off an e-mail. I got a quote back from Total Chaos and the shipping is just as much as the bushings! Over $60 USD. Pretty tough pill to swallow for a set of bushings.

    My $5 mod in 5 mins.

    Anyone have luck on a 2012 Trail Edition? I took this cap off a long time ago to run wires for my vhf radio but after seeing this I might need to rip apart the console to see if I had wires attached, I don't think I did but can't remember. Would be surprised.

    Aftermarket power lift gate finally available

    I'll never have a power lift gate ever again. Too many complications in the past. I love the 4Runner for it's simplicity in so many areas. Keeping it that way.

    Replacement bushings for Total Chaos LCA's ?

    I'm trying to find some bushings for my Total Chaos lower control arms up in Canada. Would anyone happen to know if any other companies, other than TC make them? Even if they are in the States...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Changed my spark plugs at about 91 000 miles with Denso 3421 Iridiums. Dealer wanted close to $130 CAD and I paid $60 shipped from Rock Auto. Easy install. Only had to remove one bracket that was in the way, didn't touch the airbox.
