Hey folks, Thought I'd post up a question about how your trucks behave, or misbehave, on gravel road wash board with a Sonoran Steel lift... I have: 98 4runner SR5 manual ARB front bumper and 8000lb winch. Custom sliders Custom Rear Bumper with swingout. Bumper is heavy and has an...

Another option for draining is to remove the bottome few diff studs from the front of the housing. It will take for ever and you won't get the shavings out but it doable. I'd be tempted to pull the third and clean up all the threads you just broke off in the housing. Then remove the lower...

First Gen Sequoia's have an epic amount of interior space compared to the 4runner or an 80 series. My Sequoia has been great. It has tone of room and is very comfortable to drive and ride in. One thing I like about the 1st gen over the newer is the ability to completely remove the third row...

Take a look at "inner air locks". I have them on my 60 series cruiser with 37's and love them. They aren't to bad compared to new wheels and function as good or better than most bead locks. I've had an enourmous side load while at about 6psi on that truck and they worked flawlessly. There...

Yes I know the additional spring is causing my stiff pedal. Thats why im hoping to find something else. My truck is a manual so no kickdown that I'm aware of. Truck has about 200k miles on it now. I'll take a closer look at the cables

So after getting terrible mileage this winter on highway and city, 10-14mpg, I decided to go through all the fixes I heard about. Went to pick up and O2 sensor and found it was an NTK unit so I held off. I then bought a couple cans of throttle body cleaner and MAF cleaner. Took intake apart...

nope.....it was ice. Tires frozen to brakes to knuckles. Won't dispute oil level but will say it was ice and note diff drop.

I'm 4.10 ratio. That looks like an auto so its likely 4.30 I 'd guess. Let me know though

Yes a diff drop spacer was installed. It also looked like the diff was low on oil. These thing may have contributed but the real issue was the tires being frozen up. Solid Axle..... no thank. I have 3 other solid axle rigs and really have enjoyed the IFS life. An 87 Land Cruiser on 37's...

Well this past weekend was spent on a lake in northern alberta looking for lake trout. We managed to find some and also find some trouble with the trucks. My 98 Runner got the worst of it. All due to bad ice conditions with 20" of snow on 12" slush on the ice. This meant you were constantly...

it starting to come along now. Need to get some tune up items out of the way and then build skids. Tested the air tank today and it held....mostly...

bumper... Got busy this past weekend building a new bumper. Didn’t think I’d get as far as I did so it was nice to have it painted and installed. I’m still wanting to build a fuel can holder for it but that’s about it. And maybe a jack holder. It was made with a piece of 4”x6” 3/16” wall...

While I’m a land cruiser guy at heart I came across a 4runner that I heard could be had for a good price and went and took a look. As it stood it was a 98 SR5 with cloth interior and a 5 speed. The rear hatch was rusty and didn’t work. Brakes weren’t great but the rest of the body looked ok...

Anyone have great tricks for un siezing some LCA adjusters?? I've loosened the bolts through the alignment adjusters but and can move one side but the other side won't follow it.... if that make sense. I'm thinking on welding another nut or something to to the other end of the adjuster so I ca...
