Does that reduce up travel then? Does the overall shock travel stays the same?

I’ve been searching through threads trying to decide between 4th gen 4Runner rear shocks or LC80 Tokico black shocks to pair with LC 7.5 wrap shocks. I don’t have any added armor or cargo weight. There’s a lot of mixed reviews which is understandable since ride quality is very subjective, and...

I might give that a try again next year. It's strange that I had the same squeak before and after replacing my master cylinder with an Aisin one. What brand did you go with?

Most of the time the squeak is the entire stroke, but occasionally it's the bottom or top half. I removed the spring to make sure that wasn't causing issues. My next step is to remove the master cylinder and see if the squeak is still present.

I'm dealing with a very squeaky clutch pedal assembly that only wants to squeak when it's below 50*F. When I got my manual 4Runner the first winter the clutch pedal squeaked so I removed the weird factory coil spring that only 4Runners use and replaced it with the linear spring for Tacoma's...

I tried OEM blades before with average results. I had to find alternatives because my local dealer doesn't always have the right size and style in stock. Time will tell, but the PIAA's have worked great with mist to downpours. Having wireless CarPlay has been a massive improvement for me. It's...

Finally got around to listing my other 4Runner for sale. This site makes it such a headache for uploading photos. There's probably an easier way, but I have to email myself the photos in order to downsize them enough to upload here. If anyone is looking for a stock manual 4Runner with all the...

You have to use the underhood diagnostic port to flash abs codes. Also, if you were using a voltmeter with the wheel speed sensor side you will only be able to read ac voltage if the wheel is spinning.
