I know this is an OLD post! However, what tubing did you use for the bumpers? I am looking at building something similar myself, because things like CBI and Shrockworks are WAY took expensive!

I smelled something coming from my driver's side front wheel well that smelled like burning rubber/plastic, popped the hood and smelled it stronger there. poked around with a flash light since it was night time and noticed some smoke/steam coming from an area that looks like the exhaust flange...

damages! I have a stock 4x4 with e-locker, but I am not down for any body damage beyond what I am dealing with already!

Brands I keep seeing CVT RTTs. Is this like "THE" brand to go with? Just curious! I am looking for like a 2-3 man RTT for my 3rd gen.

Braking After bleeding the brakes with a type of manifold that ran 10 psi of air off my compressor line through my brake system, starting with passenger rear, then driver rear, passenger front, driver front, and pretty much flushing the entire system with 64 oz of Lucas full synthetic DOT 3...

TBU Done Finally, I got around to doing the TBU with the Power Stop KC-2324-36 kit that I got from Summit Racing for $305 shipped. And lastly, I have gotten around to actually posting about it! A couple of notes up front: 1. Apparently not all 4Runners are made equally! I watched a YouTube...

Wait time Amazon does, you are correct, HOWEVER, there is like a 3-5 week wait time, Summit Racing ships in like 2 days! Also, the Summit Racing package comes with the Z36 pads, not the Z16 pads!

The Deal So, I was asked where I found all the parts. I found the best price at www.SummitRacing.com because with the Z36 pads they did not charge me a core deposit. And they had free shipping! The Power Stop 231mm TBU part number is: KC2324 - this included the 231mm calipers, the rotors...

They are here!!! FedEx just delivered them about an hour ago! Unboxed and took a look! They look SHARP! Probably going to do the install Thursday night or Friday day. The new rotors are CLEAN! Look at those channels! Great forging! And some big ole calipers! Did not get a chance to...

Me too Me too... memory serves I only used 14 ft/lbs.... I mean, I used a 1/2" torque wrench, so there is room for error at that low of a setting, so I might go get a 1/4" drive tomorrow for better accuracy. I have to take the wheel off anyways, because the rotors, calipers, and pads from...

Imo As far as I can tell, having only done it like 15hrs ago, yes! considering that mine were destroyed, it is a HUGE improvement in body roll! Cannot wait to get out in the bush this weekend! I might pull it out though when I get around to lifting it. But for now, as a daily driver and...

Threaded parts I am not sure about your area, but here, in Tucson, AZ, Precision Toyota only charges like $0.80 for smaller screws, and like $1.25 for those bolts! Also, for the heads snapping off, I did a write up on how to get the bolt shafts out, if you need!

Sway Bar Bushings replaced today! Ok, so today my sway bar bushings came in. I will be honest, was a bit more of a pain in the A$$ than I expected it to be! Here are what the bushings looked like on the truck: This is them off of the truck: This is the Prothane kit that I used...

Repairs Ok, so today my sway bar bushings came in. I will be honest, was a bit more of a pain in the A$$ than I expected it to be! Here are what the bushings looked like on the truck: This is them off of the truck: This is the Prothane kit that I used, cost me like $13.99: The...

The True Point The writeup is not about MAF screws. I have JIS drivers, and used WD40 equivalent of liquid wrench, but the head was to far gone. Have only owned my truck 2 months! Now, the writeup is about this situation ANYWHERE on the rig or even in your home. Any broken bolt or stripped...
